Furnace Golems, introduced in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, are powerful elite enemies that can be difficult to defeat. However, they possess a peculiar vulnerability that may go unnoticed.
Furnace Golems can be found in nearly all of the DLC’s main regions, standing tall and imposing. Their immense size makes them impossible to overlook and extremely challenging to defeat. These formidable creatures are incredibly resilient and difficult to evade, using sweeping attacks that can quickly end your journey with just two strikes.
During the fight, many players have chosen to focus on attacking the enemies’ heels in order to make them stumble and open them up to a powerful strike. However, breaking their balance can be a lengthy process, and you must also be prepared to avoid their devastating area-of-effect attacks.
One can discover an easier method of depleting their health by simply exploring. Make your way to the main entrance of the Shadow Keep and search the tents on the fort’s outer walls. You will eventually come across a note revealing the Furnace Golem’s vulnerability. It turns out that these fire giants can be defeated by utilizing fire against them.
To defeat the Golem, simply create and throw Hefty Fire Pots into the giant furnace. These powerful weapons deal significant damage and can also stun the Golem. The number of Fire Pots needed to defeat the Golem may vary depending on the strength of your Scadutree Blessings, but it typically takes 6-7 pots to bring it down.

To successfully throw pots into the furnace, it is important to first locate a high vantage point that offers a clear view of the target. Another option is to weaken the golem and then toss the Fire Pot from a short distance. If you have been having difficulty defeating these massive foes, this strategy is definitely worth attempting.
Furnace Golems are just the beginning of the many formidable foes that players will face in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. To increase your chances in battles against them, it would be wise to obtain the Armor of Solitude and acquire the most powerful weapons available in the early stages of the game.
