Great Wyrm Theodorix is a Great Enemy Boss in Elden Ring. Theodorix was once a troll, but was transformed into a lesser dragon for the sin of Dragon Communion and now lives on the frozen river in the Consecrated Snowfield. This is an optional boss, as players don't need to defeat it in order to advance in Elden Ring.
See also Magma Wyrm and Magma Wyrm Makar.
The name of the ancient troll warrior Theodorix lives on — as a hero of the War against the Giants.

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: 653 / 943 / 1400
Scarlet Rot: 653 / 943 / 1400
Hemorrhage: 653 / 943 / 1400
Frostbite: 1406 / 1863
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
- Goad the nearby Giant Land Octopuses into fighting Theodorix. They can take and deal a lot of damage before going down.
- Run past him and climb on the ledge that goes behind his resting spot for a safe zone to snipe him from. This ledge also has an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
Great Wyrm Theodorix Lore, Notes & Other Trivia

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
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

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

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.

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.

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.
- Anonymous
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.

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+.

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

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

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

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

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
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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!!!

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.

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...

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!)

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.

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

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 : )

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

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

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.
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.

You can literally cheese him with arrows by kiting him back to Cave of the Forlorn and he can no longer reach you.
Easy to dodge, stay by the but hole in second phase and use poison snake fists.
