Fulghor Expedition Ironeye Build

In this Elden Ring build guide, we’ll cover the best equipment to take on Fulghor as the Ironeye.

Fulghor is a highly mobile boss with powerful charge attacks and sweeping AoE strikes, often followed by delayed holy explosions. 

For a character as fragile as the Ironeye, it’s critical to stack both physical and holy resistances whenever possible.While the fight can be tough, consistently applying status effects will make it significantly more manageable.

Your role is to chip away at their health from safety while your team draws aggro.

This boss is fast and can close large distances extremely quickly when switching targets, so being smart with your dash and not getting stuck in an animation will allow you to evade death and win the fight.

Day 1

Ironeye doesn’t have a lot of health early, so try to keep your distance and use your dash defensively. Stick with your team and make smart use of your pins. As a ranged fighter, you’re safest in the backline. This gives you time to analyze the map and help coordinate your group’s pathing.

Your priority for Day 1 is to gain as many levels as possible and visit any churches along the way to increase your flask charges. Observe the map with the overview feature and take note of locations with bows as a guaranteed drop. Prioritize frost, rot, bleed, and poison locations as these will do the most damage to Fulghor. If none of these are possible with a bow, simply avoid farming holy camps as these will not be useful.

Make your way to those locations, stopping at as many churches as you can manage without wasting too much time and getting caught in the storm. If you’re using relics that alter your default bow, then you will want to raid a cave and find a merchant to upgrade your weapon to Epic as soon as possible.

If the castle in the center spawns Crucible Knights, then this is a great location to farm for a lot of runes, even on day 1, as they are very easy to fight in groups and drop lots of runes.

Day 2

By now, you should have obtained a suitable weapon and the levels to beat most enemies you may come across, so it’s time to target the more difficult locations in Limveld. If there is a shifting earth for your run, you should use the entirety of today to complete it. These are always your best bet for a good run, as they will always have extremely good loot and enough enemies to get to level 15 by the end of it.

Otherwise, if a shifting earth is not available, many field bosses will begin spawning, which can be a good source of rare items and loot. Raiding the castle can also be a good option to efficiently farm runes due to the large quantity of enemies in one location. Now you’ll need to sift through your weapons for the best passives you can get.

After defeating the Night Boss, you can continue to farm locations nearby if you feel you’re underleveled. The zone does little enough damage that you can farm most locations that are nearby without much worry.

Day 3

Take your time here. Level up and purchase any necessary equipment from the merchant and upgrade your weapon of choice. Get rid of any extra upgrade materials or keys in favor of consumables, as you will not be able to use them anymore.

If you have a Revenant on your team and some spare runes, invest in Starlight Shards for them. Their limited FP pool makes extra casts extremely valuable. This can be the difference between a winning and losing fight.

• Do your best to keep an adequate distance between you and the boss at all times.
• If the boss targets you, use marking to dash through him and to the side, the i-frames will stop you from getting damaged and position you outside of the explosion that follows.
• If a teammate is down, you can lock on to them to make shots easier to hit without needing to use precision aim.
