Great Wyrm Theodorix | Elden Ring Wiki

Ok. Now I can say I was fighting with the camera more than with a boss. But apart from that, I enjoyed that fight. The one shot threat made the second oart really intense

Hey everybody, if you lure him over to the cave then there are actually 2 of those octopuses nearby

Submit

Love the implied lore that trolls have 3 hearts

Submit

the octopus poisechecked him twice and took down half of his health before dying and refilling my flasks. absolute queen, her sacrifice will not be forgotten.

Submit

Mr. One shot over here

Submit

Why are people fighting this guy on NG+7 lol you only need to fight him once to get the dragon heart after that it's pointless just go around himto get the dragon stone.

Submit

Get on top of the cliff behind him and use Ekzykes's Decay, took me like 4 casts to fully kill him.

Submit

Azur Comet go BRRRRRRRR.

Submit

andrenaline pumps when this thing stands on its hindleg and the snowstorm kicks in. Lookin like a godzilla scene.

Submit

On one hand, this guy one shots ANYTHING on NG+7. On the other, the octopi do significantly more damage as well...

Submit

This fight is actually really cool if you get the land octopi involved. Elden Ring becomes another game for a bit as you do this large scale battle with multiple big enemies fighting it out. One octopi even crit ol' Theodorix and he fell over, which game me a nice chance to stick my blade in.

I think I missed this boss in my other playthroughs. He's a son of a ***** for sure.

Submit

Mf is NOT weak to sleep. I threw like 5 sleep pots in a row and he did not snooze at all.

Submit

Bro has been working out...

Submit

Snowfield scaling can just dine on my nuts.

Submit

Sleepy guy

Submit

One of the easiest bosses in the game. Use the land octopuses to reduce its HP. Then perch Latenna on top of where one of the land octopuses was and goad the Wyrm towards you on Torrent and let Latenna do her thing. Used lightning spear to hurry up the process. Shame I couldn't get the crab and the Wyrm to duke it out.

Submit

I passed it without damage to me, I was shocked. I used Ranni's dark moon, comet's shard, and ancient death rancor. Mimic fell to the death of the brave.

Submit

Ain't no way a f***king land octopus just stole this kill from me

Submit

My cooperators trying not to get oneshot by this bozo on ng+7 (impossible)

Submit

Two land octopuses some how managet to maul him without my intervention on second play through

Submit

Turned me into a cheese tactic using coward at a point in the game where I was gleefully running around wrecking everything in 3-5 hits.

Submit

Best design field boss in the entire game. Actually fight other strong creature nearby. Slow charge up attack actually deal way more dmg than fast swing attack.

Submit

Does this qualify as a superboss?

Submit

my favourite boss, he is goofy looking and makes nerds seethe

Submit

I like to summon two phantoms to help me with this boss and see how long they last before they get one shot.

Submit

Three octopus nearby can took Theodorix straight to phase 2 before going down, wish more open world boss are like this.

Submit

in NG+7 His "Scalesword Slam" oneshot a full tank build.

Submit

proc rotten breath a few times whilie on top of that ledge area = cheese strat

Submit

does anyone know where the multiplayer stake is I cant find it

Submit

just get the elenora boss killer and summon mimic tear. his giant health pool drop off like he is no boss at all. no help needed and you can kill the beast less than 2 mins

Submit

We killed each other at the same time... I respawned with 3x dragon hearts and no runes... then recovered, and the runes for killing him were not there. Got robbed of 180k on this fool

Submit

Like others i bait him into the octopus at Cave of Forlorn and he took some damage but stil win. I thought to cheese the boss with Granssax but then i realize that inside the cave, i can use any ranged spell without retribution. So i change my gears and try Comet Azur. It works perfectly although sometimes i miss and waste FP.

Submit

If you get EXTREMELY lucky, the three large Land Octopus enemies can kill the boss for you. I've only had that happen to me once, ever since then the best that I've seen them do is get him to phase 2.

Submit

Im just grateful it is a wyrm and not an extra-colossal fingercreeper.

Submit

I've been able to draw the large Land Octopus enemies to fight him before, they deal an incredible amount of damage to him, much more than I thought they would.

Submit

Imagine we got to see this guy before he became a full-on wyrm. The idea of a Troll using dragon communion spells is horrifying. You're just minding your business and the thing summons a massive dragon head to chomp you with.

Submit

Fromksoft: This are seems to be too empty.
Fromsoft: I know! we don't have a Greyoll equivalent for magma wyrms.
Also Fromsoft: ctrl c, ctrl v. (aka Copy paste)

Submit

the worst designed boss of all their games weird asf timings you stand still half the fight janky asf grazing you injures you trillions of health I would rather fight melania blindfolded with no hands then fight this atrocious game design boss

Submit

this thing one shots me at 60 vig and 35% phy defence. nothing in the game should be able to hit that hard

Submit

This guy has like 30K HP on NG+7. If you're feeling lazy like myself lmao, get on top of the ice surface above him, near an ancient dragon smithing stone. Keep casting ancient dragon lightning strike until he dies, or if you're feeling a bit cheeky there's two land octopus nearby, let them fight him XD

Submit

Dragon wound grease really shines in this fight, considering its higher resistance to slash damage, or maybe just use Dragonlord Cragblade. Also don’t forget golden scarab or gold pickled fowl foot for the fat rune drop.

Submit

The larger arena actually makes it easier than some of the other magma wyrm.

Submit

I feel bad for killing this guy he was just chilling

Submit

Black knife tiche and grafted sword

Submit

Didn't even mean to, but the Land Octopuses surrounding the area ended up killing him quicker than I did

Submit

I wish this was the only Magma Wyrm in the game. Would have been more impactful

Submit

Easy to dodge, stay by the but hole in second phase and use poison snake fists.

Submit

this mf has a health bar higher than most bosses. My advice is to cheese him with bolt of grandsex and let the octopuses do their stuff.

Submit

His standing slam one-shot me from full HP with 54 VIG (1864 HP) and 137/181 Phys/Fire resistance. (No other relevant buffs/talismans). REALLY heavy-hitting boss. Definitely don't try to tank through this fight. Be quick about it.

Submit

The ultimate vigor check boss along with black blade kindred and Elemer of the Briar.

Submit

black flame and destined death stuff like the black knife or the maliketh incantation do a quick work of him. since he has so much HP, the %-based damage really melts through him. youre welcome.

Submit

Just bait him to the octopuses and go get a cup of coffee. They will kill him for you.

Submit

if youre having trouble, sneak a thunder cloud form when hes asleep, mimic , spam thunder cloud form under him and youre good, i took 1 hit but its easy fi you stay under him

Submit

It's a mystery to me how this thing doesn't just unfreeze the lake, seeing the damage output

Submit

three land octopuses nearby ganked the **** out of this guy

Submit

Yo screw this guy. For real. Literally every other magma wyrm was such a cake walk that I never knew they had a second phase where they stand up until this guy. Spammed flame of the redmanes and black flame ritual because screw him. I'm actually so mad I keep his incantation in a spell slot just as a trophy, regardless if I actually use it or not.

Submit

This page should be about the infamous Giant Land Octopus Duo hidden boss...

Submit

Cheesed this chump with arrows from the Cave of the Forlorn.

Submit

one shot you at 60 Vig, flame+2 talisman, greatshield talisman, crab with his phase 2 sword. best boss ever!!!

Submit

Flame of the Redmanes takes 3 hits to stagger, then walk up and run a fully charged Black Flame Tornado if you're someone who likes burning things but doesn't like dealing with things that don't burn well.

Submit

I used flame of the redmanes ash of war on the misericorde dagger with heavy (I have 60 strength) and you only need to connect three hits to break his poise, but the only problem is that lava is usually everywhere and you have his wings blocking you from getting to its eyes

Submit

Pulley crossbow/burred bolts is all you need. Maybe black key bolts too if your feeling like you need extra damage. These magma wyrm bosses are a joke & this is no exception. Just get up on a rock or something & blast him.

Submit

Advice, go up the frozen waterfall behind this boss. It is still close enough to allow summons, and then bring out Latenna.

She'll snipe this bastard and will be basically safe from at least 90% of their attacks.

Submit

So from what I understand, This guy was a troll, completed dragon communion, and became this thing? I'd rather become a magma wyrm like this than flail around some pointy metal

Submit

the ancient dragon lightning strike thing that splits in 8 directions or whatever is amazing against him, beast seal 25 with high str/fth for my build and using mimic tear i just made my tear distract this clown while i full sent the incant melted him. mimic tear had bloodhound claws 24 with frost on it, might have affected/effected the easiness of the boss

Submit

Midir is a walk in the park compared to this thing. ER's end game is truly horrific.

Submit

Rollo and I made short work of this fella, however in no way was overt skill the reason. Straight luck.

Submit

I like how a random Wyrm on map has same health as Dragonlord

Submit

Weak to octopus lmao

Submit

this guys a *****

shoulda just been a real boss

Submit

Great wyrm ifyoudon'thavemorethan70vigoryouwillgoinsane

Submit

I got the octopi to fight him, but he still killed all three and had 75% of his health bar. I tried to get the crabs involved but they chased me to a point then stopped. He even walked around them to attack me - maybe they’re buddies?

Also this dude one-shot me with 60 vigor.

Submit

It got me thinking, one of those octopi as a summon would be OP as heck. I didn't remember anything except running around on Torrent and stabbed the wyrm's eyes when the octopi stunned it.

Submit

The giant octopussies can do alot of damage and distraction to the boss

Submit

The desc saying it's weak to octopus is still one of the funniest things on this website

Submit

Dudes a major vigor check with that big sword slam he does, 50 vigor was just slightly enough for me to survive one hit from that, other than that, he's just another magma wyrm with very big damage.

Submit

Two octopi flanking him took him down while taking less than 10% damage each. They poise-broke him not once, but twice, and the whole ordeal lasted about 45 seconds. Would’ve felt cruel if he hadn’t already one-shotted me a few times.

Like rock, paper, scissors except it’s my character, the octopi, this douchebag.

Submit

The damage on this guy is insane. His sword slam attack will one-shot you even with full Heavy armor at 50 vigor with Golden Vow and The Great Shield Drake Flamedrake +2 talismans on NG+.

Submit

man i feel left out, the octopi got absolutely demolished when i tried fighting him and i had to finish him off myself. ****s strong

Submit

Octopuses or Octopi? Either way, dinner today is octopie with lizard tail.

Submit

It's amazing to watch the land octopuses destroying this big boi lizard. I watched impressed while he rolled and spitted all around, trying to overcome three beaked waste balls.

I fell avenged for that fight in the tight cave for the Moonveil, in which I died a lot in the early levels just for a katana that I barely used

Submit

Everybody says "How strong the boss is" yet no one asked "Why the hell is a magma wyrm that spits hot stuff doing in a snowfields instead of a cave or fiery pits like Magma Wyrm......."
Lael

Submit

He has even more health than the f’ing Dragonlord are you kidding me??

Submit

He has more health than Placidusax are you kidding me

Submit

Try putting Latenna up on a large stone and watch her destroy Theo

Submit

Just like the wyrm at gelmir, Latenna can solo him if she's placed high up on one of those square-ish rocks. Make sure she can't fall off because Theo will destroy her if she doesn't have the high ground

Submit

No joke, killing him solo (no octopus) took me more attempts than Malenia.

Submit

Blackflame Monk Amon destroyed this guy.

Submit

The comments about using the land octopi are totally accurate. But more importantly, this may be the only fight in the game where you should clear the fight space first. If not, while you're fighting him you might get attacked by up to 3 octopi plus a land crab, and they're all tough because this is a later game zone. Also, your brainless summon will attack them and not the boss. Stay on torrent, lead them all together, let them fight it out. Then you get to actually watch Theodorix's moves, they're very cool, he gets up on his back legs and looks like godzilla. He'll rampage, he even killed the nearby fire snails, and when he's done with the seafood gauntlet he should be down to about 1/3 health. Now summon your spirit ash, a much easier fight...

Submit

Look up at the top right box, in the standard "strong to" and "weak to" boss stats. Theodorix is apparently weak to "Octopus" lol, need a special weapon for him now like that flicking finger sword.

Submit

Thee-oh-dorix or Thee-awd-orix? Cool name either way.

Submit

Just east of the Octopi is a stone pillar you can jump up on. Summon Latenna here, then go start the fight with Theodorix. Sure the Octopi into the fight because he MAY be able to jump into a position where he can actually hit her - but I was able to take him down without ever landing a blow.

Submit

I was bravely running from the jump scare octopus coming out of the cave and, bing! ran into a Magma Wrym. I thought I was cooked. Stood around laughing for a minute while they went at it, then realized I had to apply some finishing touches to my dragon / octopus stew.
'Meat's back on the menu boys!'

Submit

theodorix: fights the octopi
octopi: kills theodorix
me: what?

Submit

Tip for anyone struggling: the large land octopus (kite it over from the cave of forlorn entrance to aid in the fight) and Dragon Knight Kristoff +5 this fight was a joke. Those two combo'd Theodorix so hard I got 5 crits in, only one of which was from my attacks. Don't know why, but those two did about 50% of the damage while I just stayed at his tail & then ran up to his head and got my criticals in. FYI, dual wielding Antspur +18 (seppuku with poison affinity) & Rogier Rapier +18 (cold affinity), proc poison & rot, then swapped to my Claymore +18 (Flame Redmane, heavy affinity), on a strength with 25 faith (to use Golden Vow & Flame Grant Strength incants) & 52 strength, plus 20 dexterity to wield the Antspur

Submit

I can't remember other bosses that can oneshot you with dragoncrest shield and 60 vigor, what a chad this guy is

Submit

I used the lion bow with Radahan’s reign up on the frozen waterfall. Worked great!

Submit

For me the Octopus strategy was working for a while but he killed them so i had to high-tail it onto the frozen waterfall, i summoned Latenna and i killed him with my Pulley Bow
