Defeating Adan, Thief of Fire

1. Understanding Adan’s Attack Patterns

Adan, Thief of Fire, might seem like a typical Tarnished enemy, but he has a range of Elden Ring Runes attacks that can catch players off guard:

• Flail Swings: His primary melee attack involves swinging a flail, which can hit both wide and narrow targets.
• Catch Flame: A fiery attack that creates an area of effect damaging over time.
• Flame of the Fell God: A tracking fireball that explodes upon reaching its target.

To manage these attacks effectively, keep the following strategies in mind:

• Maintain Distance: Adan’s flail swings and Catch Flame can be avoided by staying out of close range. This also gives you more time to react to his spellcasting.
• Watch for Flame of the Fell God: The spell has a lengthy casting time. As Adan begins to cast it, move away from its projected path to avoid the explosion.
• Utilize the Stake of Marika: Near the battle arena, a Stake of Marika allows for quick respawns, minimizing travel time and preserving resources.

2. Exploiting Adan’s Weaknesses

Adan’s slow casting and predictable attack patterns mean that ranged attacks and patience are key. Use long-range spells or projectiles to whittle down his health from a safe distance. Equip armor and talismans that enhance your dodge and mobility to better manage his attacks.

Using Flame of the Fell God

1. Acquiring the Spell

Flame of the Fell God is a powerful incantation obtained by defeating Adan. It requires 41 Faith and consumes 34 FP per cast, making it ideal for high Faith builds.

2. Spell Mechanics and Effectiveness

Flame of the Fell God summons a large, tracking fireball that causes a significant explosion:

• Damage Potential: The spell’s high fire damage makes it effective against enemies weak to fire.
• Knockback: Its explosion can knock back enemies, disrupting their attacks and providing strategic advantages in combat.

3. Enhancing Flame of the Fell God

To maximize the effectiveness of Flame of the Fell God:

• Giant’s Seal: Boosts the power of incantations, increasing the spell's damage.
• Fire Scorpion Charm Talisman: Further enhances fire damage.
• Flock’s Canvas Talisman: Increases the potency of incantations.
• Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear: Temporarily boosts fire damage when used with the Flask of Wondrous Physick.

These enhancements make Flame of the Fell God a potent tool in both boss fights and general exploration, especially against enemies with low poise.
