Avoid his jabs and wait for one of his big slam attacks.Īs soon as he lets his guard down (and assuming you didn't get hit by the large area of effect) you want to get behind him and start attacking. Make sure you have a good fire resistant shield (Spiked Shield or Steel Shield) then stay just out of his melee range with your guard up.
If you are a melee user things will go a bit faster, but you need to be very careful. Rinse and repeat this process for a slow but safe win. Make sure you are out of range, then fire one or two attacks while he is vulnerable and before he runs at you. If you are a ranged user, your best bet is to stay in the mid-range and wait out his quick swiping attacks, keeping an eye out for one of his slower ground slams. Similarly if you get too far away he will do a leaping slam attack that will easily break your guard or deal a large amount of fire damage if you fail to dodge. He can be a little unpredictable, and even if you are behind him he can still damage you if he does a backstep. When you enter the boss battle it is good to take a moment and observe the way Flamelurker moves and attacks.
