Magma Wyrm is a reoccurring boss in Elden Ring.
Overview[]
Magma Wyrms are quadrupedal draconic beings with torn, vestigial wings and broad heads. They were once human heroes who partook in Dragon Communion, for which they were cursed to crawl the earth[1] as flightless imitations of Dragons, losing their humanity in the process.[2] They wield greatswords that resemble the jawbones of dragons, and can spew magma from their mouths.
Only one non-boss Magma Wyrm can be encountered. It is found in the lower part of Volcano Manor, accessible via an elevator near the Temple of Eiglay Site of Grace.
