Elden Ring: How to Beat Great Wyrm Theodorix Boss Guide

This is a quick guide on how to beat Great Wyrm Theodorix. This optional boss is categorized as a Great Enemy Boss scattered in the Lands Between for the player base to find and slay. While other variants are much more convenient to take down, Great Wyrm Theodorix can be troublesome.

There are a few options to survive against this Great Enemy; however, there is a secret way to ensure victory that does not put the Tarnished at risk. Despite being completely optional, most players will find any excuse to extend their playtime and make the most of their time.

Where Can You Find Great Wyrm Theodorix?

Players can find the Great Wyrm Theodorix at the Consecrated Cornfields of Mountaintops of the Giants close to the Albinauric Rise and Cave of the Forlorn. The game developers of FromSoftware designed the world of Elden Ring to be massive in scope and scale featuring different biomes with an impressive variety of enemies.

The journey to reach the enemy’s arena is treacherous and players should be armed and prepared to take on this foe. The Lands Between is not for the faint of heart and players should tread carefully before venturing into a place full of enemies they are ill-equipped to handle.

How to Prepare to Fight Great Wyrm Theodorix?

This Great Enemy roughly shares the same moves and attacks as the Great Wyrm Makar. Unfortunately, both optional bosses do not share the same strategy to defeat and Great Wyrm Theodorix is much riskier to face and harder to fight. Elden Ring players can exploit the weaknesses of this dragon to their advantage and plan their loadout accordingly.

This Great Enemy variant is built like a tank with a tougher defense than the Great Wyrm Makar. Players should bring a few items resistant to fire damage like Fireproof Dried Livers and the Flamedrake Talisman. This optional boss is susceptible to the bleed effect, poison, and Scarlet Rot; however, players should consider taking thrust, strike, and standard weapons to deal more damage.

Suggested Loadout

• Antspur Rapier
• Flamedrake Talisman
• Fireproof Dried Livers
• Poison Mist
• Rotten Breath
