Easy Trick To Master the Fallingstar Beast Boss Battle in Elden Ring

Like other FromSoftware games, Elden Ring has many tough bosses that players must beat to finish their quest to become the Elden Lord. While most bosses in Elden Ring are needed for the main story, some extra hard enemies are placed throughout the game’s open world. These enemies test players’ skills more than being a must-beat opponent. For example, the well-known optional boss Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is one such challenge.

Another optional enemy in Elden Ring’s open world is the Falling Star Beast. This creature can be found in several places across the Lands Between, first seen in the famous Caelid swamps of Elden Ring. It then shows up in the Atlus Plateau and finally in its strongest, fully-grown form near the ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite bonfire. All three forms of the Falling Star Beast can be tricky to beat because of their quick speed and strong attacks. However, one player says they’ve found a way to make the Falling Star Beast mostly defenseless.

Falling Star Beast’s Weakness

A clip on Reddit shows an Elden Ring player facing the fully-grown Falling Star Beast at Mt. Gelmir. The boss starts with a charge, which the player stops with a heavy poise attack. This move breaks the Falling Star Beast’s charge, causing damage and letting the player get a few free hits while it’s down. The player suggests that anyone wanting an easy win can do this over and over.

Beating the Falling Star Beast in Elden Ring isn’t as simple as just using a heavy poise attack. It takes good timing to dodge the charge and not be knocked off Mt. Gelmir. Some Elden Ring players in the comments said that a heavy poise attack isn’t needed to stop the Beast’s charge; any attack aimed at its eye will break its poise and make it stagger.

So, the trick is about a well-aimed hit rather than a heavy poise attack. Another thing that can help beat the Falling Star Beast is using the rock sling found in the Street of Sage’s ruins in Caelid. While this method needs some timing and setup, it’s likely to become part of the list of Elden Ring boss shortcuts.
