What is the Lich Dragon Weak To?
The Lichdragon Fortissax is one of the most formidable foes in the Elden Ring, and understanding its weaknesses is crucial to defeating it. In this article, we’ll delve into the various strategies and tactics you can use to take down this behemoth of a dragon.
Physical Thrust Attacks
Defeating the boss will net you a whopping 90,000 Runes, and as the boss is a Legend, you’ll also get its Remembrance.
One of the most effective ways to defeat the Lichdragon Fortissax is by using physical thrust attacks. Fortissax is relatively weak against physical thrust attacks, so it’s essential to equip yourself with a weapon that specializes in this type of attack. Thrusting weapons and heavy thrusting weapons are particularly effective against the Lichdragon, so make sure to upgrade your gear accordingly.
Holy and Lightning Damage
Additionally, because Fortissax is highly resistant to both lightning and holy damage, you should use either physical damage weapons with fire, magic, or status resins (if buffable) or ones infused with magic or fire.
In contrast, the Lichdragon Fortissax is highly resistant to holy and lightning damage. Avoid using weapons or abilities that specialize in these types of damage, as they will have little to no effect on the boss. Instead, focus on using physical attacks or those that deal fire or magic damage.
Status Effects
Note: You should be at least level 100 with a fully upgraded weapon before taking on Placidusax. Using a Rune Arc before the battle is also a good idea, especially if you have Godrick’s or Radahn’s Great Rune equipped.
Status effects can be particularly effective against the Lichdragon Fortissax. Using a weapon with status effects, such as bleed or poison, can help chip away at the boss’s health over time. Additionally, certain runes and abilities can inflict status effects on the boss, making it more vulnerable to attack.

Here are some general strategies and tactics you can use to defeat the Lichdragon Fortissax:
- Use a combination of physical attacks and status effects: As mentioned earlier, physical attacks are effective against the Lichdragon, and combining them with status effects can help wear down the boss’s health over time.
- Take advantage of the boss’s attack patterns: The Lichdragon Fortissax has a variety of attack patterns, including breathing fire, using its claws, and charging at you. Use these patterns to your advantage by dodging and counterattacking.
- Keep moving and avoid getting caught in a corner: The Lichdragon Fortissax is a large and powerful dragon, and it can easily knock you back or pin you against a wall. Keep moving and avoid getting caught in a corner, as this can leave you vulnerable to attack.
Conclusion

Remember to use physical thrust attacks, avoid holy and lightning damage, and take advantage of status effects to chip away at the boss’s health over time.
