The Forge Golems The Fire Giants of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree are the first big enemies or secondary bosses that we all see during our first foray into the Shadowlands. They are huge and very slow, but they have a repertoire of attacks that covers all distances.
Defeating them can be a real pain due to their high resilience and their unforgiving grab attack: getting caught is a sure kill. The most intuitive way to fight them is on Torrentera’s back, dealing blows to the legs and dodging their attacks… at least if you’re playing melee. Mages and other ranged attack-based builds should aim for the central face.
Beyond recommending obvious things like increasing fire resistance and using your best weapon, the Forge Golems have a special weakness that allows us to defeat them with relative ease. The tweet from Elden Ring Alerts It shows the key to knowing the weakness of these enemies: explosive jars on the head, although it sounds contradictory because their element is fire.

The note is written by the person in charge of the furnaces and warns about the use of them: it is important to keep the fire jars away from the Forge Golems. And this is the key to defeat them with relative ease: find a high area and throw these jars inside or around the upper area. Or take advantage of when it falls after hitting the legs. There are amulets to boost the damage of these explosives and achieve the result you can see in the video of the tweet.
