Great Wyrm Theodorix | Elden Ring Wiki

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

Submit

Stumbled across this Boss last night. Aggrod a land 'puss by accident and they went at it. A couple of Rots on both and it was over. Easiest dragon fight of them all.

Submit

rofl "Weakness: Octopus"

Submit

Who would’ve thought that adding “ix” to the end of a name would turn it from a pastor name to a badass fictional name?

Submit

So he accidentally aggroed the octopuses (octopi?) nearby and they MELTED his health pool in 30 seconds posture breaking him three times.

Great enemy my a s s

Submit

I wanted to have a honest fight with this guy, but he decided to completely ignore me and go fight the nearby octopus instead. Very rude boss.

Submit

Theodorix is a badass name.

Submit

Theodorix is a badass name.

Submit

252 frost? I filled this dude with 30 frost arrows at 60 frost apiece as fast as I can fire them and it didn't proc. I'm questioning if frost arrows really do have 60 frost build up. Bleed, rot and poison all proc as you'd expect from arrows but frost seems to take a really long time if it even works from a bow.

Submit

anyone know how much poise this thing has?

Submit

Octopus method still works. If the one at the cave entrance is not enough, pull 2 more nearby with arrows or throwing knives. They can deal with the wyrm.

Submit

So this is what people were talking about when they were getting 1-3 hit by a boss in the lategame. I was wondering until I met this guy

Submit

Octopus method still works. If the one at the cave entrance is not enough, pull 2 more nearby with arrows or throwing knives. They can deal with the wyrm.

Submit

For patch 1.04, the land octopus is no longer that powerful when fighting the dragon.

Submit

Wyrms don't have arms. Wyrms are seen moping around on two legs and front postured on wings.

Submit

I just spammed rot breath from the ledge at the waterfall. I feel guilty about my lack of skill.

Submit

This boss has more health than the final boss and malenia because the game wants you to cheese this boss to the land octopus waiting outside the forlorn cave. Just let them meet and attack him with yourself too and it's dead in 2 minutes maximum

Submit

Weak to:
Phys (sta)
Phys (thr)
Phys (str)
Octopus

Submit

That Land Octopus at the entrance of the cave solo'd this boss for me.
Theo did that charging attack and stopped on top of the octopus and the octopus started beating him.
It wasn't even a contest. The octopus just melted his health bar.
I'm calling that Octopus "Blood Clot" from now on.

Submit

Easy cheesy by baiting him to cave of the forlorn. Standing about halfway down the entrance tunnel he can't hit you with anything. Use swarm of flies or kukri or even glintstone pebble. Doesnt much matter, he'll go down fairly quickly and you won't take 1 point of damage

Submit

This boss is actual BS. One shot me from full health with his ground slam attack at vigor 55. Over 1723 damage in a single attack that is a massive AOE. Well done From Software

Submit

Wish we could get some more lore behind this guy, we were warned by Yura that relying too much on Dragon Communion is dangerous and then we get more lore from items and the Dragon Incantations that eventually those who overuse it become lesser dragons the Magma Wyrms. But why is this one magma wyrm great? He even has a name. Who was he? What did he accomplish that it was said he was a renown warrior? I demand to know!!!

Submit

Its hp is 25500 something not 35000...

Submit

I'm on my own personal quest to fight every single boss dragon in this game, I heard that this one would be rather difficult but to be honest, it's not, it's just got a high health bar, I'm a mid ish high level, so I can't exactly cheese even if I wanted but, just treat him like any other dragon, stay under it, near the back, keep hitting on off the horse, use a spirit if you have one, and boom gave me almost 300k rune however I do have a golden Scarab. but still fun boss to fight.

Submit

Another very broken and unbalanced mob in late game. With some of the heaviest/best armors (2 unaltered banished, 2 fat fire lady pieces), 60 vigor and lv10 mimic to take aggro; this one can and WILL one-shot you, or casually finish you with 2nd attack if you try to melee it...

Submit

Octodaddies are the real summons for this fight

Submit

Only boss that actually oneshotted me, congrats

Submit

Funny little bug - I'd got him down to about 1/4 health and tried to run away along the valley so that I could drink some estus or whatever, and this guy followed me for a pretty long way, then despawned and came back with two full healthbars on the screen. Both healthbars took the same damage simultaneously, so it didn't make any difference to the fight (except the fact that the boss got an insta-heal whilst I was about out of flasks!)

Submit

There's a high spot you can jump to with torrent where Latenna can solo this boss. It's near the fire slugs. I put here there and then just watched from where the smithing stone is.

Submit

I summoned Latenna on top of a nearby rock and it worked fantastically. She drew aggro and never got hit the whole fight!

Submit

This guy is ridiculous to do alone, even with your mimic. But the trio of Octopi are MVPs for this fight

Submit

They d/n work on the octopus :( I didn't try it on the worm, He is hard to hit in the head, He just buried it under me and then he'd pop out in a backward sling manner and swoop around. About 100 poorly placed 'great arrows' I took him down : )

Submit

Get the giant octopuses to take aggro and cheese away with jarcannon **** his attacks hitting you for 80% health at 1700hp with just one attack unless you're wearing the heaviest armors in-game

Submit

1900 HP and he deals 1500 per hit, what the hell man? Summon mimic, he almost dead after just 3 hit, thank god the octopus come to the rescue lol not even sorry, I take the win wholeheartedly

Submit

The octopus does not work nearly as well as people say it does, it hardly did a thing. Just stand inside the nearby cave and hit it with arrows or magic

Submit

defeated him with an octopus, easiest **** ever.

Submit

Just let him fight vs another enemies and they do the job.

Submit

Has anyone realized the name could be a reference to Grand Wizard Thodore? the godfather of hip hop :D

Submit

What’s the connection between him and the troll, I’m guessing since the troll was a type of fire giant that’s where fire comes in, but did someone name the wyrm after him since he’s a war hero, did he also use some sort of magma spell, doesn’t really seem to be a connection between the giants and dragons so I don’t know why they randomly put some lore in this

Submit

It should be added that he will fight the Octopuses

Submit

this guy feels much harder than other magma worms, his aoes are bigger, last longer, and end up being way more punishing.

Submit

1900HP, 31 physical, 34 fire defense. Some of the moves still one shot me. This game has terrible end game balance.

Submit

Just get on the ledge where the dragon smithing stone is. Summon Latenna. Break out your own bow/crossbow. Watch his health go down from relative safety.

Submit

Sheesh. Talk about waking up on the wrong side of the bed. This guy was so mad that not only did he attack the octopuses, he went up the small hill to murder the fire slimes minding their own business while I was hitting his ass with my powerstanced whips.

Submit

Easy

Submit

Literally just get the Land Octopi to kill him. No weapons necessary.

Submit

Not a single unique enemy in the Mountaintop of Giants, Consecrated Snowfields, or the Haligtree. These areas were definitely rushed and copypasted, so the game would be done on time.

Submit

For Incantation based characters, Swarm of Flies absolutely melts this guy. You can just spam cast it from completely outside of his attack range and end the fight in maybe 30 seconds. Very useful considering he has solidly beefy resistance to most forms of damage that Incantations usually do.

Submit

You can literally cheese him with arrows by kiting him back to Cave of the Forlorn and he can no longer reach you.
