How to defeat Maca in Elden Ring
Let’s say the bleak adventurer explores the Gale Tunnel or bravely crosses the lava lair of Magma Wyrm west of Volcano Manor. In this case, they were familiar with Maca’s boss mechanics and movement phases. Maca wields a scaly upper sword, which he will use to perform various punches and slashes. Note that its smashing attack creates a shockwave and its swipe action has a particularly long range. But also, Eldon’s Ring Dragons can spew lava and stay on the ground for a short period of time. For this reason, translucent gladiators must always move around the arena to avoid scorching.
The main attacks that Maca can trouble players with are kicks and combos. When charged, the dragon chases after the target, leaving a trail of lava behind. For dragon combos, the standing animation can make dodging time quite difficult. Therefore, those using ranged and melee attacks are advised to take advantage of the central pillar of the arena to block the beast’s spray and slash attacks. In addition, being in the back of the boss is a smart strategy to avoid most of the possibilities.
Also, there is a way to turn Magkar cheese into cheese. Eldon’s Ring. From Grace’s Abandoned Coffin Yard, jump down the elevator shaft leading to Maca’s lair. The player will die on impact, but will activate the elevator’s button, causing it to rise to the ground. Take the elevator down and walk to the fog barrier. Using ranged spells like Rock Sling or Rotten Breath allows the Dark One to attack the Maca through walls and kill it without having to enter the boss room.
