While playing through Elden Ring, players may encounter the Ancient Hero of Zamor during their travels in the Weeping Evergaol or the Mountain of Giants. This daunting boss uses blazing speed and power to overcome his foes.

While it is not a required boss to advance to the Legacy Dungeon, users may still want to overcome one of the challenges that Elden Ring offers.


Defeating Elden Ring's Ancient Hero of Zamor

The best way for gamers to deal with Ancient Hero of Zamor is with the use of magic, but it's also easy for characters without magic if they do not use it.

The boss will thrust its weapon quickly at players, and they need to dodge the attack. It will also use a spinning attack that will sweep the area around users, which they will need to evade to avoid taking damage.

The boss will also summon a storm of winds around themselves that will damage gamers if they stand too close. They are advised to stay at a distance when using magic or dodge when using melee.
