Fire Prelate Notes, Tips, & Trivia
- Hammer-wielding Prelates are a possible reference to Executioner Smough, in both appearance and moveset. The Prelates’ Charge is a clear indicator of their similarity.
- In the official Gameplay Reveal trailer, a Fire Prelate was shown in the arena of the Red Wolf of Radagon.
Fire Prelate Lore
Lore Items Related to Fire Prelate
Flame, Protect Me
The most ancient of the Fire Monks' incantations.
Creates a fire within that greatly increases fire damage negation.
It is said that this incantation was used during the War against the Giants long ago, during which it protected the champions of the Erdtree.
Surge, O Flame!
Superior incantation of the Fire Monks.
Creates a stream of fire to burn the area before the caster.
This incantation can be cast while in motion. Hold to maintain
the effect.
The Giants' Flame is the flame of ruin, capable of burning the
Erdtree. And so, following the War against the Giants, its ruinous
blaze was sealed, and guardians were appointed to watch over it.
Fire Prelate Armor
Black iron armor adorned with a red cloth.
Attire of the Fire Prelates, commanders of the Fire Monks.
The weighty frames of the Prelates symbolized the onus of their grave vows as guardians of the flame. "Etch this sight upon thine breast. Of my thunderous gravity."
Fire Prelate Helm
Helm engraved with a sacred countenance and housing a cauldron.
Attire of the Fire Prelates, commanders of the Fire Monks.
It is said the cauldron perched atop the head was originally furnished with embers, and would surge into flames when the wearer's faith reached its zenith. The fire of this cauldron has since died out, however.
Prelate's Inferno Crozier
Colossal hammer with the appearance of roiling flames. Weapon of the Prelates who lead the Fire Monks.
Its heft represents the weight of their guardianship.
The hammer's head is unusually substantial, and strong attacks' will fling foes into the air.
Thorned Whip
Hefty whip coverd in crimson thorns. Weapon of the Prelates who lead the Fire Monks. A device of fearsome religious encouragement, it is fashioned in the image of the briars of sin.
Very effective at inflicting blood loss.
Cranial Vessel Candlestand
Candlestand used in worship of Birac, the most hallowed Monk
Prelate of the Giants' Flame. Concerned over the lazy arrogance
with which the monks treated the Flame, Birac severed his own
head as a lesson to the others, intending it be used as a
candlestand. His faith yet smolders from within the cranial vessel.

The gloves and (arguably) the graves are pretty good if you are trying to mix and match with Scaled armor. The knee guards look a bit too out of place due to size and you will look bottom-heavy, so Scaled greaves might work better.

I think it would’ve been fun to see more beheaded enemies such as the prelate whose head became the Cranial Vessel Candlestand

the whip version should've been a boss to replace one of the repeated boss fights. There's only one in the entire game and you can just run past him even though he's a super hard and tanky enemy

No info on resistances or weaknesses?
If the armor is any indication (and it usually is,) these Fire Prelates should be fought with slash or pierce weapons (equally effective,) and lightning first, holy second, magic third, and fire obviously last.
Their lowest armor resistance is Vitality so death blight is a decent option. Robustness is next and it allows for blood loss and frostbite to be good approaches. Immunity is third so poison and rot are less effective but not ineffective. Their highest resistance stat is Focus so probably don't bother with sleep or madness.

Can someone double check the drop on the greaves? I'm probably just coping but there's no way I've been farming for 2 hours with 185 discovery, got 11 chests, 11 gloves, 1 helmet, and enough runes for levels 139, 140, and 141 without a single greaves drop. Right? Right??

Probably the most badass enemies in the game, tied with crucible knights. Love these guys

They do Smough cosplay as a testament to the weight of their responsibilities.
Their lordvessel hats go sicko mode when they reach enlightened levels of Faith investment that no Tarnished alive can ever match.
One of them was so disgusted at the laziness of his men that he not only ordered his own decapitation, but also made said decapitated head into a setpiece so that he could glare disapprovingly at his men post-mortem. His rotting head is STILL more capable of reaching the aforementioned levels of enlightenment than you.
Absolute chads holy ****

Imagine if blackflame prelates existed... instead of red their garments would be grey and instead of dark iron their gauntlets, boots and helmet would be made from a more gold-ish metal

Normally he opens by throwing fire, so running up to him the fire will usually go over your head, then spamming Prayerful Strike will stun him after two hits. I was killing him in three Prayerful Strikes.

These dudes are such chads. The helmet description says that the only way the cauldron ignites is when their faith is at its zenith. I have 99 faith and my hat doesn’t light on fire. These guys have more faith than even perceivable by a mere tarnished runt.

First time I saw one of these guys was at Fort Laiedd, when he was just standing with his back facing me as I entered the fort. For a brief second, I chuckled to myself because of the shape of the armor. Then he turned around and anime walked towards me with a colossal hammer and throwing fire at me, and I was terrified.
10/10 enemy, very intimidating

Kinda surprised they aren't fully functional bosses. They could have replaced at least one or two of the many repeating boss encounters

The "Elden ring fire prelate drops" table has the crozier hammer dropping from the prelate at fort Laiedd as a guaranteed drop. But just above the item drop table it says the prelate in giant conquering hero's grave can drop it as well. Can anyone attest to the accuracy of that ?

Can the hammer one be parried? I tried and failed, but maybe I'm just bad at it.

Just fought the one in Fort Laiedd, and rotten breath deleted him in about three seconds on a faith caster build.

Too bad unlike smough this one spams a ranged attack, like seemingly most enemies in elden ring

While Ornstein transcended time to find the Nameless King, Smough just straight up went to another game.

Seems like the strat for these chonky boys is to be patient and wait for openings, or alternatively hit them with something powerful if they haven't noticed you yet.

The prelate in mountainstop of the giants has dropped its armour and helm. I really want to try that thorn whip, I see a lot of farming in the not too distant future.
Would gelmir’s fury be a good spell to use on a fire Prelate cosplay? Haven’t used it but it looks like it might be similar to the fireball eruption attack these guys do?

Where are these drop rates from? I swear I feel like they must be higher for this particular enemy, pretty much every time I kill one it drops a piece of armor

Ornstein went to drangleic. Smough went to the lands between.

if you want to farm the thorn whip a bit easier shoot the fire prelate with a bow and lure him to the entrance doors at the giants mountain top catacombs; he shouldn't be able to get in and you can chip him away safely with scarlet rot or any other projectiles.

Dude has anger management issues. You tap him and he blows his top. Literally.

There's no way the helmet's drop probability is 5% I've tried with all 3 of them and O've got all the pieces several times except for the helmet. Not even once.

Use carian retaliation when he uses the fireball incantation

Strategy I used: 1) learn their four to five attacks, 2) bludgeon them when they are not bludgeoning me. Hope this helps

A wizard is never prelate nor is he preearly, he arrives preciselywhenhemeansto
If you go into the room behind him you can pelt him with a bow until he dies

In the first gameplay trailer we got, this guy was a mini-boss in the Academy, wonder why they changed that and decided to have that Red Wolf in its place.

Another one in the Mountaintops of the Giants, right before the long, narrow stone bridge. This one also wields a Thorn Whip instead of an Inferno Crozier.

Shame how Comet Azur annihilated him. Dunno what his moveset even looks like.

He drops his full armour set and they are quite heavy. About every other time I killed him he dropped something

does this dude drop gloves? I have his weapon, chest, head and legs but no gloves
- Anonymous
Strategy:
Lure him out of the arena behind the Fortress and fight him from Horseback!
Bait his attacks and use his long recovery windows to charge in and attack him!
If he begins his fire Charge, JUMP ONTO HIGHER GROUND! Stops the Charge!
Beat Him LV 27 and got THE SLEDGY!!!
(Can't wield it yet tough!)

I was farming the one with the whip with poison mist (1 hour to kill one guy) and all I've got was two greaves and two gauntlets... This would've been a boss fight.
