Beastman of Farum Azula is a Boss in Elden Ring. The Beastmen are said to have come from a doomed city in the sky, and attack with the ferocity of a wild beast on the hunt. These are optional bosses, as players are not required to defeat them to advance in Elden Ring.

 

 Beastmen from the doomed Farum Azula, the slowly crumbling ruins in the skies. These ruins are said to be the remains of a giant mausoleum enshrining an ancient dragon, guarded by chosen beastmen who wield weapons clad in lightning.

Beastman of Farum Azula Combat information

Negations (or Absorptions)

The negation numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% will be negated. Bigger number = less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 means the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.

Beastman of Farum Azula Fight Strategy

The Best Tips for Beastman of Farum Azula:

  • Bait its long attack combos and counterattack once it's finished.
  • Try to avoid blocking since its attacks drain so much stamina.
  • Use Rotten Stray Ashes to take advantage of its relatively low resistance to Scarlet Rot.

 

Melee Strategy

Bait and Punish: Bait the Beastman's attacks until it completes a full combo before attacking a couple of times and then backing away. Its weapon drains a lot of stamina if you block it, so after you land a few hits it's better to dodge back far enough that you're out of range of its swings. When in doubt, stay as far away as you can. This boss doesn't have a ton of stance, so charged or jumping heavy attacks will stance-break it easily. 

Parrying: Most of the Beastman's attacks can be parried, except for the Two-Hand Slam and the last two attacks of the 6-Hit Combo (the uppercut and the overhead attack).

Magic and Ranged Strategy

Keep Your Distance: This fight is considerably easier at range. You can bait out its combos the same way you would in melee, but you can punish them from range rather than running into danger. Just keep your distance when it begins attacking and only block if you absolutely have to.

Attacks & Counters

Attack Description Counter
One-Handed Double Swing parry icon 40pxCleaver: Grabs its cleaver with one hand and swings it twice horizontally. Parry the first swing or roll away. Avoid blocking, since it will lose you a lot of stamina.
Two-Handed Double Swing parry icon 40pxCleaver: Grabs its cleaver with two hands and swings it twice horizontally. Much faster than the One-Handed Double Swing, but covers much less range. Parry the first swing or roll away. Avoid blocking, since it will lose you a lot of stamina.
Cleaver Stab parry icon 40pxCleaver: Pulls its cleaver back and then stabs it forward Roll to your right to avoid the follow-up
Overhead Slam parry icon 40pxCleaver: Pulls its cleaver over its head and slams it down in front Roll to your right to avoid the follow-up
Sideswipe parry icon 40pxCleaver: Steps to its left and swings its cleaver clockwise along with it Roll right and get in a hit while it recovers
Spinning Slice parry icon 40pxCleaver: Spins in a full clockwise circle ending with a horizontal slice Roll right, since the hitbox is mostly towards the end of the attack
Barbaric Roar Cleaver: Lets loose a fearsome roar dealing damage in a small area of effect Roll backwards and prepare to dodge the follow-up combo
6-Hit Combo parry icon 40pxCleaver: Roars, then attacks six times: four horizontal swings, an upwards vertical attack which launches it into the air, then a final overhead slam. Dodge away and keep your distance during most of the combo, then roll in during the final slam and attack during its recovery animation.
Two-Hand Slam Cleaver: Grabs its cleaver with two hands, jumps forward, and slams it into the ground. There's a long delay before it jumps, so be careful not to roll too soon. Once you successfully dodge, you have time to get in a few attacks of your own.

parry icon 40px: Attack can be parried

Beastmen of Farum Azula Combat information

  • Health: 8,306 HP (Cleaver), 3,344 HP (Dagger).
  • Defense: 120 (Both).
  • Stance: 65 (Cleaver), 30 (Dagger).
  • Use a Sleep Pot to put the cleaver-wielding Beastman to sleep and focus on the knife-thrower, since it has much less HP and can probably be killed before the other one wakes up.
  • The shrubs in the boss arena allow you to sneak up on the Beastmen and backstab one of them before you're noticed.
  • Use Spirit Ashes to distract one Beastman while you focus on the other.
  • Use a shield with high Guard Boost to block both the cleaver attacks and the throwing knives, then Guard Counter to stagger and then critical the cleaver-wielder. Since the cleaver still does considerable stamina damage, this should only be attempted with high Endurance.
  • The knife-thrower has extremely low stance, so a single charged heavy attack from almost any weapon will be enough to stance-break it. Use the invulnerability frames from a critical hit to take it out without getting killed by the cleaver-wielder.

              When fighting the two in Dragonbarrow Cave, focus on the throwing knive guy first and all should go smoothly

                For those wanting to lame ou- I mean cheese the duo version of it, you can sneak by them by staying crouched in the bushes found around the arena, and you can even use Poison Mist without getting the aggro, to some extent ...
                For SOME REASON if the Cleaver Beastman's (the one lying down) health go below a certain threshold (after a little over one full poison duration), the ranged one begins another patrol that goes further into the arena, but most importantly he gains super laser vision and will see you the moment he looks in your general direction and start throwing stuff at you.
                However that doesn't happen if you bring him down first with the poison mist, it's abit tricky since he walks around the place, but it's doable with some timing and alot of blue juice.
                Clearly not the most fun way to do it, but still the safest RL1 strat

                  For the Duo, I was able to crouch and sneak up on the blade thrower, which did not aggro cleaver beastman (his HP bar will appear, but he just stayed in his default pose) so you can fight a 1v1 with both of them

                  • They should have made the Azula Beastman in Groveside cave do the minimal wind up 5-6 attack spinning slashing combo like the Beastmen do in Farum Azula, that would have been a great new player experience.

                      Beat the duo in dragonbarrow at level 35 with a +8 crescent moon axe:

                      Use the three wolves spirit ash, backstab the one with the greatsword and let the wolves aggro him, then run to the one with the ranged attack and stunlock him to death (you have to be quick). If you manage to kill him before the three wolves die then it's easy since you just have to play safe with the other one and get your 65k runes

                        I'd use the wolves before that rabid stray. Also, the barricade shield AoW cast on a medium shield will block any physical attack the game can throw at you, and with very little stamina damage.

                          St Trina's sword worked wonders for the pair: ambush the melee guy, put him to sleep for 60 seconds before either of them can react, kill his friend

                            If anyone has trouble with the duo in Dragonbarrow, you can use long ranged spells (I used Frenzied Burst) to kill the throwing knife one without aggroing the melee one, makes it much easier.

                              Horrible Bossfight. He has one ****ing move that can easily be walked away from.

                              The big wolf outside his boss fog is a better bossfight than this joke.

                                Just hit him until you have just enough stamina to roll away, then keep your distance til you are back at full stamina. Rince repeat til dead

                                      If you start as a Vagabond you can poke it to death with a Halberd. It gets stunlocked for the whole combo, backing away when you finish. And then comes back, to resume the poking.

                                        In the Dragonbarrow fight, kill the Throwing Knife variant first. The melee attacks are much easier to dodge.

                                          Grab the Lordsworn Greatsword and bait out his 5 move attack, then as he's recovering, run in and use the WA uppercut. As soon as he hits the ground, buffer another one, and you should get a free riposte. Rinse and repeat until dead.

                                                Prophet level 0 took about 6 claw spell attacks to defeat him. Wait until the 4th attack finishes and then cast it.
