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 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.
Resistances
- Poison: 552 / 842 / 1299
- Scarlet Rot: 552 / 842 / 1299
- Hemorrhage: Immune
- Frostbite: Immune
The resistance numbers are the buildup amount to trigger it. For example, if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of the given buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs. The values after the "/"s indicate the increased resistances after each successive proc.

Additional Fight Strategy
- Be careful as you crest up the ladder and begin the fight, because the boss might charge and knock you off immediately
- Ranged users should try to stay on higher ground to maximize the change their attacks will hit the beast's vulnerable face
Additional Attacks & Counters
Attack | Description | Counter |
The first phase uses the same attacks as Fallingstar Beast | ||
Phase 2 | ||
---|---|---|
Reverse Gravity | Its eye glows purple as it raises its head and lets loose a roar, distorting the air in a medium area around it. After a pause, rears onto its hind legs and lifts anyone in the area into the air, then slams them back down to the ground. Only used once to begin phase 2, as soon as it goes below 60% HP | Sprint out of the distorted area and wait out the attack and its follow-up |
Gravity Ray | Charges a ball of gravity energy over its left shoulder, then sweeps a magical ray clockwise across the arena | Dash to the boss's back feet on Torrent as soon as it starts channeling, and use this opportunity to get in free attacks |
Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast Lore, Notes & Other Trivia
- The Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast is very similar to Astel, Naturalborn of the Void. Both feature many sharp tail barbs, large mandibles, and heads with a central cracked hole showing something glowing underneath. Both creatures also have bodies made of rock, reminiscent of meteorite. They also both use gravity magic. These beasts may be younger forms of Astel, as there are many Malformed Stars found underground, and there are two Astels fought as bosses. If one looks closely at its eye, it slightly resembles the skull of an Astel.

A charged attack can knock him out of his charge, kinda hard to do it without trading though.

Hilariously under-XP'd for the difficulty. Entire body turns into a hitbox during some attacks and yet some weapons just plain miss it even at point blank range. Full grown one spams AOEs that make it difficult to get in close enough to attack. Not worth fighting unless you really want the loot.

just give it a lil poke w a thrusting weapon that has good distance on it as it charges you & you will knock him every time

It says you can stop his charge by hitting him in the face with a throwing pot or any attack that deals stance damage and this is just not true. I hit him with Sacred Blade, did nothing. Next attempt I used a throwing pot, did nothing. Was this changed with a patch or did somebody do a little trolling?

Killed this Beast with Shamshir and feel great. Well, Coil Shield did the trick.

Got him after 4 or 5 tries. Actually not as hard as I initially thought, he leaves a lot of openings to attack. Somehow I found him easier than the juvenile one in Sellia, I guess it helps to actually have space to fight him in.

Went here on blind playtrough saw the ladder and spring that made me ask why would I ever use the ladder and hopped up just to be greeted by this thing charged right where I land. Knocked my ass of Torrent and proceeded to spam magic attacks.
At first I panicked then after gaining some distance it became mage battle, found out if I just rock sling it’s face it’s super easy critical rinse and repeat.

EXTREMELY weak to Black Flame, my RL1 character with the minimum 20 faith (+1 royal helmet, +1 commoners, +3 marika seal and +5 faith talisman) was doing 600-700 per Black Flame with a +0 talisman.

Just fought him. Harder than I expected. The boss is very tanky and has a lot of annoying attacks that can force damage on you. A pro tip is that after his phase 2 charges twice, run towards him as he charges up the energy orb as his attacks would pass over you while you get to poke at his face for free until the attack ends. I did the bulk of my phase 2 damage after noticing this vulnerability after 8 or so attempts. Without it I would certainly have taken dozens more.

Worst part is the incline of the boss area making your weapon hitboxes so finicky. At that point it stops becoming a fun challenge and just feels unfair.
I've noticed that you can hit a jumping heavy attack on his head during his charge that will knock him out of it, but it's very risky. The better openings are using torrent, jumping to hit his eye when he's casting his ranged spells.

super hard for melee. easy for casters. not the best boss balancing.

one of the worst bosses in the game. Very few openings. Undodgable attacks. Somehow always strafes physical attacks. Uneven arena that leads to crits that can't be done due to terrain. Very very poor boss design.

Beat this easily 1st try with a faith build, lightning spear and Torrent.
Probably my favorite entrance and location of a boss fight thus far.
A crater on top of a mountain next to a lava castle, c'mon. So Epic.

undodgable attacks, 1 charge up animation for atleast 5 attack

Greatblade Phalanx knocks him down when he charges you. I dodge right he falls down and I blast him with the comet stance using Sword of Night and Flame. Guess you can hit him with anything because you get a free hit.
- Anonymous
Placement makes this boss extra cancer: inclined terrain makes half of your attacks to the head not register. About fight itself, I've noticed that gravity magic (Gravity Well especially since it is faster to cast) stuns it out of running charge attack. You can even do critical afterwards, though timing is shorter than for legit posture break. Interrupting is less useful in second phase of the fight, since it will do its kamehameha beam after charging 2 times, which is a big opening for counterattack (run towards its right)

This ****er is better at dodging than 90% of the enemies in this game. Half of my hits just WHIFFED.
- Anonymous
Boss leaps around everywhere so you spend like 90% of the fight just chasing it. A bunch of its attacks drop my frame rate to like 5 fps. If that wasnt bad enough its one of those "just dodge" bosses where you just have to wait for your window to get 1 hit in every 20 seconds. One of the worst bosses in the game.

Best way I found:
Torrent + Lightning Spear + Lightning Scorpion Charm
Use Mimic Tear to take aggro and just keep hitting it with Lightning Spear. Got it down to more than half HP before I lost Mimic Tear.
If it gets too close just ride away and keep going if it follows. Turn around, get to within Lightning Spear distance, throw and ride away. Repeat until its done.

Tip for melee users, stick to the ****er’s left side like glue. If you have a 100% phys absorb shield and can afford to mid roll, even better. Use the shield to learn how laggy 80% of its moves are, and once you learn them you can roll into it and sneak a heavy jump attack or charge attack. Did this with a morning star of all things and managed to poise break it four times. If you manage to dodge the grab, enjoy the two free charge or jump attacks. When it does the jumping divebomb attack, roll backwards. Apparently Fromsoft had the braincells to not code a lingering hitbox once it lands so you can get another two free jump/charge attacks. When it does it kaioken-looking-ass laser attack run TOWARDS it and to its right. You can do some light attacks or even a jump attack as you move around it.

In co-op if you’re a ranged build and have a melee summon fgafb will do the stomp gravity stone attack while facing you but the gravity attacks will actually blow up on your summon. Hilarious to watch him getting blown up thinking he’s safe to charge in only to find himself getting exploded on while it’s not even facing him
- Anonymous
You know it’s a horrid design when all the “this is how i cheesed him” comments are getting massively good ratios and all the fromsimps are farming reds. I don’t plan on cheesing this boss. He’ll die to melee like he deserves. Long, grueling death for this pile of bull.

I can see why this is an optional boss. A boss that four-shots even the highest vigor characters? A boss that resists ALL forms of physical damage? A boss with incredibly large AoE hitboxes that can stun and knock you off your mount constantly?
And then it's loot is for a melee caster? What are we doing here?
- Anonymous
I will tell you how I took him out. Pure STR build, using Executioner's Greataxe, I used my physick and used golden vow, got on torrent, and jumped into the arena. I used poison grease on weapon, and didn't get off torrent, unless I was thrown off it. It takes way too long to put the poison in, but eventually you will get it. After that, start applying elemental grease on your weapon, I used lightning. Killed him the first try I could apply the damn poison. Fighting this guy is deadly dismounted, there are many attacks that you need to learn perfectly, he 4-shots you even with 40 vigor.

This boss teaches some good lessons. Like some attacks you have to run rather than roll (spikes from below), and some attacks don't actually track after they start so you can snap turn and he'll run right by you (charging with pincers open)

They removed this from Sellia Crystal Tunnel and replaced it with the much easier not full-grown one. So lame. Hate how FromSoft always makes their games into far inferior, far easier versions after the first month from release. Who is that for? Your fanbase loves the challenge, and you patch it out one by one, every time.

A fee tips for melee-only builds:
- The grab attack always comes from your left (the beast will chatter and wind back first), dodging through it is difficult, it’s easier to dodge towards the beast’s back legs (and it has a long recovery, making it a perfect window for some hits).
- Guarding with a 100% physical absorption shield makes things much easier, but keep an eye on your stamina. Don’t worry too much about blood loss - it only builds up from hits from the tail, which usually won’t occur frequently enough to fill the meter.
- Elemental greases are very useful, but opportunities to safely apply them are rare - it is better to avoid a hit and try again later.
- Slash weapons are basically soggy noodles to this guy, so leave the Bloodhound Fang at home
And this Tarnished came upon the mount and said doot doot doot with my Envoy's Long Horn. And the full grown fallingstar beast said "doot doot? have my loot!"

another one of those great fights, youre supposed to fight on horseback. and how dare you fight it any other way.

Try Meteoric Ore Blade and Rot Breath if you can get it, I'm an Arc build but I reached Meteoric requirements with intelligence and Strength tears along with a Glintstone Crown, you can usually get a rot breath in when the fight starts cause he'll begin his charge but sometimes will continue it while hitting the edge of the cliff, use your Physick and use Metoric Blade heavies to punish his attacks, for rot breath I reccomend doing it when he does earth attacks cause they usually leave him vulnerable long enough to get a full spray on him, once he's taking DoT from rot just survive, at that point he should die from the ticks.

Flaming Strike is crucial for this fight. Staggering the best with it is much easier than with pots, and it opens reliable window to attack.
Non-staggered beast is too fast, moves back and is crazy difficult to reach with non-collosal weapon.

When you turn the entire boss into a hitbox it stops being a boss fight and just becomes a walking environmental hazard which is fun for nobody.
Also you should be able to launch this guy off the edge. It's a bull boss in a cliff stage, it practically writes itself.

This boss isn't bad, but the difficulty dramatically increases when using anything that has a long windup animation or poor end lag. Starscourge Greatswords at +7 did not obliterate this thing like I thought they would, even with the +30% Gravity advantage. I would get caught by pretty much every follow-up and had very few openings due to how slow I attacked. Overall would not recommend colossals for this fight, probably best to use Meteoric Ore Blade if you want that extra damage still.
- Anonymous
Was able to beat this thing using a +6 dragon halberd and a +3 mimic tear summon (the mimic never got through the first phase). It’s defenses are so absurd that you need to use something with elemental damage. It’s attacks are slow, pretty easy to read, and can be negated with a 100 dmg resist shield. Heavily recommend the shield as this thing’s attacks can cover large areas and be difficult to dodge. The hemorrhage attacks don’t buildup a lot so you won’t get blood loss unless you’re just looking to get hit. Dodge the small attacks and gravity magic, block the larger attacks, rush to the left when it’s charging the laser, watch your stamina, and stay calm. Do that lengthy dance with this thing and you’ll find it’s really not that bad.

I tried using rotten breath on this boss and it actually worked quite well lol

fun, high energy, aggressive fight. don't listen to the comments about how it's poorly designed for melee, it's best fought with high dps low recovery weapon like the shamshir with an elemental infusion and a self buff AOW like lightning slash or flaming strike. big weapons work fine as well but you'll definitely need to be a bit more patient.
p.s. flaming strike, despite being slightly nerfed, has a million active frames so staggering it when it charges at you can be made relatively easy with it.

Guys I might be wrong but I feel like the fallingstar beasts and the naturalborns are the same species. If you look up the life cycle of an antlion you'll see how the larvae are sort of plump and rely on their huge mandibles to hunt (they create trap pits wich look a lot like craters to me) and the adults (known as antlion lacewings) become very thin, long, agile and with 2 pair of long wings.
Is there some continuity in the designs of these bosses to justify this claim? Well yes there is: both bosses have in common a rather large blue eye, a heavily spiked tail and huge mandibles and rock-ish skin.
Why would the naturalborns have a face then? I think it all comes down to a Lovecraftian reading of the cosmic creatures created by From, in this case horror would come with the discovery that what we recognise as a human face is just a pattern that creatures beyond space and time have alredy developped, leaving us stripped of what we would normally pridefully and rightfully recognise as "us humans, a remarkably unique species".
This may be a pretentious reading, or a totally banal one idk, if someone already has talked about this I'm sorry for I haven't watched any lore video yet, as I haven't finished the game yet :>
Also sorry for the bad English, it's not my first language, let me know what you think :>

My dex and bleed build had a hard time beating this boss, because he’s immune to hemorrhage, he beat me up quite a bit, but he was a fun challange!
Easy fight.
1. Climb ladder
2. Summon Rotten Stray
3. Climb down a few rungs to avoid his big AoE
4. Wait for him to die of rot.
Nothing better than watching your loyal pup chase cattle!
Unga Bunga smash, mage Abracadabra, and Faith praying to God(wyn) ain't the only ways to crush a boss. Use all the tools & terrain :)

If you hit it with a projectile straight in the eye during its Charge move it'll play the stance break noise and it'll stagger, interrupting the entire attack and stunning the alien bastard for a few seconds. No crit tho. Tested with Lightning Spear.

There was not a single character or build that I have tried where I enjoyed fighting this boss. Eventually on new characters or NG+ I just use the poison cheese method. I'd rather stand behind the boss for 10 minutes using Poison Mist than fight this boss the normal way. One year later, and duo bosses not included I genuinely think this is one of the poorest boss designs.

I had such a hard time at first and this Boss seemed ****ing difficult. However, after 20 tries, horse or whatnot, I just calmed myself down, went back to the basic of good timing and dodging and boom, beat it very easily.

All you guys complaining about difficulty need to take a step back and remember that the game is SUPPOSED to be frustratingly difficult. There are some truly badass players out there who will find any amount of difficulty easily surmounted but for the average person the game is supposed to catch you off guard and constantly test your mettle. That's part of what makes the souls games and elden ring and sekiro so great. Stop whining because the boss kicked your ass 97x. Do you enjoy playing games where you coast through and anhialate the enemies? If so then this isn't for you. Especially since Elden Ring is the most accommodating of the group.

I found fighting him on horseback with a greatsword much easier to get in and out of his combos than fighting on foot. Still interesting, engaging fight and by no means a cheese, I just found it much easier and almost like we're supposed to be trying horseback for this fight.

Didn't understand why everyone hated this boss because I had always fought it over leveled. Recently did a run where I planned on using the Jaw, and now I get why people hate this thing. It takes so much damage for this thing to die if you're using melee, and it feels like there's no effective way to go about fighting it. I thought horseback was good, but you basically leave getting hit up to random chance because Torrent has the maneuverability of a semi when he feels like it. This thing is absurdly tanky for how early you can fight it, and everything in its moveset feels like its telling melee users to stop using melee.

Boss was a little annoying but a poison antspur rapier with poison moth flight will destroy this thing. Scarlet rot plus poison, and poison being used like bleed. If you don't wanna DoT/status proc it and only go bonks, bonk its face as it staggers easy with heavy weapons. And range cheese always works too. Good luck.
