On your journey through the Lands Between of Elden Ring, you will encounter powerful and deadly enemies. Some are more difficult to best than others, and just like that, The Ancient Hero of Zamor is more difficult to beat but not an impossible challenge to overcome. <\/span><\/p>\n

He is an optional boss and not mandatory to complete the main quest. If you are struggling to bring down the swordsman, this guide will show you how to beat the Ancient Hero of Zamor and where to find him on your quest through the Lands Between. <\/span><\/p>\n

Where to find the Ancient Hero of Zamor<\/span><\/h2>\n

Players can find the Ancient Hero of Zamor in three different locations within The Lands Between. Some places require Stonesword keys to access, so make sure you stock up before making the trek to fight him. <\/span><\/p>\n

All the locations above are located on the <\/span>map of The Lands Between<\/span><\/a> as follows: <\/span><\/p>\n

How to beat The Ancient Hero of Zamor<\/span><\/h2>\n

Depending on your build, your approach to this boss will differ. So we have a guide for melee players and long ranges players, but there are a few tips that you should know regardless of your build.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ancient of Zamor hero is weak to magic, so any magic spells, incantations, or magic weapon buffs you have at your disposal will make this fight a lot easier and increase your Damage Per Second (DPS). <\/span><\/p>\n

You also want to watch him closely for his frost breath attack as it can inflict frostbite and end your run against him quickly. To avoid it, look for when he kneels to signal the attack, then sprint to the left or right of his line of sight to evade it. <\/span><\/p>\n

For melee players<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you are a melee player, you will have a hard time staying close to him as he counters quickly to your attacks and has a wide range for his sword strikes and magic. <\/span><\/p>\n

To counter this, we can engage in some ‘hit-and-run’ tactics by performing a one or two-hit combo, then immediately back up to give yourself space to dodge any counterattacks and control for his speed.  <\/span><\/p>\n

After doing this carefully, the boss will enter his second stage. Here the Ancient Hero of Zamor will be far more aggressive, charging the player and performing more gap-closing moves. <\/span><\/p>\n
