Avoid using magic damage
Damage jot down is key in Elden Ring.
In this boss fight against Glintstone Dragon Smarag,we recommend avoiding magic damage altogether.
Instead, we recommend using good oldStrength or Dexterity-based melee weapons.
Reduvia is especially strong here, as it inflicts the bleed effect.
This is extremely powerful against almost every boss, as bleed will deal massive damage when it takes effect.
Reduvia also has a ranged attack if you want to stay a little further away from Smarag’s attacks.
Fortunately, using Torrent will help you get away.
Keep your distance until the attack ends and then ride back in to continue dealing damage.
Smarag will occasionally perform a leg stomp attack, but these are easy to dodge.
If you see a leg lifting up, it’ll come crashing down moments later.
To avoid this, simply move over to the other leg and keep slashing.
As mentioned above, you should venture to get underneath Smarag to avoid taking damage.
These hits to the head will also lower Smarag’s poise, soyou might eventually stagger the dragon.
That wraps up our Glintstone Dragon Smarag boss fight walkthrough.
