Fire Monk

Fire Monks are fighting monks who once stood with the Erdtree against the giants. They turn up in Liurnia of the Lakes, on Mt. Gelmir and in their true home, the Mountaintops of the Giants, and you also run into them inside the Giant-Conquering Hero’s Grave.

They rarely fight alone. Fire Monks answer to the Fire Prelates and in turn command the Guilty, so expect thorn sorcerers and heavier monks nearby when you see one.

How to beat it

A single Fire Monk is a fair duel, but they tend to stand guard in groups with Guilty sorcerers behind them. Pull them one at a time if you can, and take out the casters early so you are not fighting thorns and fire at once.

Their weapons are built around fire, so a little fire resistance does not hurt when you clear one of their camps.

Lore

During the war against the giants, the Fire Monks fought for the Erdtree and created the incantation Flame, Protect Me to shield its champions from the giants’ fire. When the war was over, the flame of ruin was sealed away and the monks were made its keepers, led by the Fire Prelates and leading the exiled Guilty in turn.
