Ancient Hero of Zamor | Elden Ring Wiki

I defeated the Sainted Hero's Grave one with the assistance of a spirit ashes that I lovelly call Elsa because of its proper name "Deenh". I defeated that boss along with Elsa Deenh, my fella. I don't like to use summons but I was carring just 2 red juices and no blue juice. I chose Elsa just because it requires low FP, the amount I had.

love this guy. his attacks look so graceful

Submit

My favorite enemy design in the game, they look so cool

Submit

lightning ram absolutely shreds this guy + it staggers him. Makes this fight trivial!

Hitboxes are total bullshit

Sleeping this enemy is almost pointless, He yawns and shakes it off. dude works 9-5 in this evergoal

Submit

with base lvl astrologer, terra magica can be cast just outside of his spawning range but close enough for it to buff carian slicer, you can get 4-5 free hits in. he dodges glintstone arc half the time but if you get him to stand at the rocks he dodges wont move far enough to avoid the spell

Submit

this loathsome dungeater has i-frames when he does the spinning aerial dive. Hit him with glintstone arc twice during the animation (when he gets ready to jump and in mid-air) and he didn't take any damage

i still dont understand why one of these is at the end of what is arguably the final hero grave you find in the game, you find a whole party of these right at the entrance of the mountaintops, the phase 2 is not strong enough to make this a final dungeon boss at this point in the game, i wish this guy had a more unique second phase

Submit

Using a Strike damage type weapon made him (at Weeping Evergaol) stagger every hit until his second phase. I used Hoslow's Whip +10.

Submit

Great fight

Submit

Put this guy in DS3 or BB and he'll be regarded as one of the best bosses, he so ****ing cool.

Submit

fromsoft's sprinkling of frost, a somewhat obscure mechanic not readily available to player characters, on bosses just smacks of them cheaply increasing difficulty. along with his dodging of spells, absurd poise (GL with landing staggers, heavy swingers), this boss is yet another eye-rolling chore in this game.

Can the Hero of Zamor be launched in the air or slammed into the ground by powerful attacks?

Submit

'Zamor (christened Louis-Benoit) (1762[ – February 7, 1820) was a French revolutionary from Bengal, who, as a boy of 11, was taken from Chittagong, Bengal Subah, Mughal Empire (now Bangladesh) by slave traders. Later, he was gifted to Countess du Barry and became her servant until informing on her to the Committee of Public Safety. He participated in the French Revolution and was imprisoned by the Girondins.' - Wikipedia

Why do they wear manacles around their wrists? What kind of hero wears those?

How much of their story was written by the victors, to hide the deep evil committed for the sake of that victory?

One of my absolute favorite minibosses/enemies in the game. Their sword and armor set are my favorite to use, but the first time i fought him was one of my favorite experiences ever, they fight so elegantly i just end up prolonging the fight to look at their animations. The abilities and moves are genuinely fun to play against and as a beginner player on my first playthrough, the fight against the first zamor hero taught me the more fast paced combat than ds3 and earlier games. I just think i love their design more than anything, and as i said before their armor is my favorite in the game, i always go get it. All in all, i think people hate on this fight more than its needed, as once you start learning their attacks its really fun and you feel like youre dancing with the boss. :>

Submit

ds3 called, it wants its boss back

Submit

I wish you could get their frost repulsion attack as an incantation or maybe AoW. I’ve always found that attack to be so cool and clean.

Submit

On my second playthrough as a dex/bleed character, I discovered that poison, dual weapons of the same type/status effect, and jump attacks were effective in the Weeping Evergoal. I copied the same tactic in Hero's Grave, but with Mimic. Bloodhound or Tiche work as well.

Submit

As a sorcerer, I struggled mightily with him because of the way he dodges. I finally killed him with Ambush Shard, which isn't dodged. Just had to learn to dodge his attacks to survive the second half of the fight and patiently keep hitting him with Ambush Shard.

Submit

why is this boss randomly hard as ****

Submit

As far as bosses go, its a glass cannon. So while I wouldn't call it "difficult" (you just have to take some hits), I have a hard thinking of a boss off the top of my head that is less fun to fight. Because man! this boss uses all the cheats:
- Input reads casting, attacking, quickuse, dodging, blocking, running, walking, looking in its general direction... everything. It input reads freaking everything
- Dash attacks that can cross the whole arena
- Runs away with a smack to the face
- Every melee is a two parter and roll catches
- Half arena AoE
- High damage status effect complete with stamina debuff
- Dodges spells and incantations used by player
- Goes berserker in phase 2 so you can't get away from its roll catch melees
- Miniscule openings after even its heaviest attacks

Screw these things. They can stay in the graves they reside in for all I care.

Submit

wish you could still summon them as a spirit ash like in that screenshot that was leaked before the game came out.

Submit

I get the music being the heroic one because of the "Hero" in the boss's name, but honestly, who else thinks "Black Knives" would have suited them a lot more?

Submit

Not a hard boss, but a very annoying and evasive one, i absolutely hate that stupid shockwave blast that comes out instantly with no windup that he does that completely knocks you over and hits you before you get so much as a millisecond to even react to it, again not what i'd call a difficult boss, just a very annoying one, who constantly input reads, and predicts you before you even know what you're doing yourself.

Submit

this boss is extremely annoying, you need a key to fight it, and you can get the stronger version of its talisman for way less effort. just skip it honestly, not worth your trouble

Submit

Some of the Ancient Hero of Zamor's attacks are parryable aren't they? How come it's not listed that they are?

Submit

He gives 20.000 runes in Sainted Hero's Grave, not 24.000.

First off jump attack
And then
Try jump attack and then

By the way, jump attack
Thx for the medallion, scrub.

Submit

the name of their AI starts with buddy, and so do the weird pale guys in nokron, given their connection to godfrey by being so close to those crucible knights, and thus the war against the giants, that the tall zamor guys fought in.
could they be related at all?

Submit

I didnt recive any drops!?

Submit

Ancient Hero of Input Reading, more like.

Submit

This boss crumples to jumping heavy attacks. Every. Single. Time. Without fail. It hardly even matters what weapon you're using, it'll stun him out of almost every single one of his attacks.
Spamming this one single move (and being mindful of the Ancient Hero's attacks) is a foolproof method for victory.

The order you fight the evergaol challenge bosses seems a little off from what I've seen so far. Adan thief of fire at the first evergaol you find in Liurnia dies surprisingly quickly to a +5 greatsword with freezing grease, dead before he could use any of his fire incantations. Darriwil likely the first evergaol players are likely to come across in Limgrave, is a proper handful though. Ancient hero of Zamor at the weeping peninsula evergaol is a real handful as well and not any sort of walkover but three volcano pots and a hit or two with +5 greatsword with fire grease is enough to kill him, as long as you can survive his frostbite AOE. I haven't tried the crucible knight at stormhill evergaol yet, but if its anything like the crucible knight enemies in-game, its another one that's going to be a proper handful. It just sort of seems that the evergaol bosses were randomly placed with no thought as to the skill level and weapon upgrades available to the player when they are likely to stumble across them.

Submit

You’d think being the immortal enemies of the Fire Giants would mean that they resist fire, having learned how to fight them…nope.

Submit

The tips telling you to take advantage of their "weakness" to magic have obviously never seen Fire or Lightning at work. Melts this boss without any issue.

Submit

Catch Flame. Not much else needed if you use Incantations.

If you're a mage, just spam Stars of Ruin as you should when fighting nearly all human enemies and dodge-heavy enemies in general.

Submit

Sword of night and flame +5, Lhutel ashes +4….distracted and hit him with 5 flame special attacks, done in 40 seconds

Submit

For the Saint's Hero version, I demolished him with a Fire Godskin Stitcher +17, Flame, Grant Me Strength and Flame of the Redmanes. Weak to both Fire and Pierce. His attacks leave a lot of room for backstabs and heavy attacks. When he kneels down to spread Frost on the floor, circle to the right and nail him from behind.

i got in a few good hits with Carian Knights Sword +4 during his initial spawn at weeping evergaol, after that i lobbed 5 or 6 fire pots at him and he was done. hope this helps

80,000 runes in Giant Conqueror's

Submit

Lmao, he was not moving for me. Even if attacked. Just stood there and took it. Weird bug. Anyone had the same?

Submit

If you are looking for an early flame weapon to fight this boss at the Weeping Evergaol, try the Steel-Wire torch. It does pretty good damage against the boss, and the weapon art hits even through a dodge.

Submit

Saint Hero Grave version:

1. Bolt of Gransax charged full bolt him 1 itme upon entrance, his half HP gone
2. He entered phase 2 and enchant his blade with frost at same position.
3. Charged up another Bolt of Gransax while he enchanting, finished him off.

Submit

Not worth fighting. He's only about 5k runes and drops a weaker version of a talisman you can rush for at the start. You also can't stack the two talismans either, so there's not point in fighting him for the weaker version you don't have to fight anyone for.

Submit

Quite easy with bloodhound fang. Start with charge attack and bloodhound finesse. Then recharge focus when he transforms. For phase 2, just dodge and time your Bloodhound finesse. Especially when he does his forward ice breath.

Submit

Pretty easy but has some bulls-, I mean, some tricks up his sleeve. Just keep up the damage and don't get too greedy.

Submit

For Sorcerer's, was super quick and easy to put him down with Glinstone Stars. Just keep your distance, charge it up and watch him die.

Submit

*can be poise broken* HOW?
heavy greatmace +13 with axe talisman killed him before he went to his knees ONCE

Submit

He is weak to fire. Put it on your sword.

Submit

His dodging doesn't help him much when you shoot Glintstone Stars at him, even charged. You only start really missing with them during the second phase when he starts using higher mobility attacks, though you can still make enough space to ward those off for a bit. I just pumped him full of those until death with the nearby lowbie catalyst, a couple blue flasks worth of FP, and like 10 Int. You might need to clean up after that if you beef some of your shots, but hitting him like 3 times is much easier than hitting him 30. Mileage may vary with high level variants though.

Submit

found him in Altus Plateau too, in the Sainted Hero's Grave, got the drop Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff from him

Submit

I received the Ragadon's Scarseal from this fight instead of the armor

Submit

He's also found inside SAINTED HERO'S GRAVE

Submit

I tried out Ambush Shard sorcery on this boss and found that it worked really well. Does decent damage since they're weak to magic damage and unlike Glintstone Pebble and Arc, the boss won't sidestep to dodge Ambush Shard at all (her sidesteps seem to be wider than Darriwil or his hitbox was wider with the crouching, because Arc at least hit him most of the time). The only time it misses is when the boss bends to blow ice or dash in. Made first phase incredibly easy.

Submit

Guys, i can help with this, i wrecked him, didnt even come close to dying, i just got the talisman or whatever the circle medallion thing is. His weapon/armor must be RNG drops

Submit

I killed him and only got a trinket…no armor and no weapon

Submit

I died from a lingering frost effect right as I killed him and now I can't get back to the zone and don't seem to have the item, though I got runes. Any ideas?

Submit

I dont have the weapon after the first encounter with the portal. Is this normal? Really really want the weapon

Submit

As a mage i prefered the "3 rocks spell". You load it up and then he dodges, but will be hit Anyways. Since you charge up the spell.

Submit

Comet Azur makes the 2nd Evergaol Fight a joke. ggez, thanks for gear.

When he drops to his knees preparing for phase 2, rush him and spam Catch Flame. You should be able to kill him right then :)

Just when you think it's safe to hit him he pulls out another strike..
