Adan, Thief of Fire is an evergaol boss in Elden Ring.
Adan, Thief of Fire is a stout fire mage sealed inside the Malefactor's Evergaol in southern Liurnia. He fights like a Tarnished, with a spiked flail in one hand and a giant's seal in the other. He hurls slow, devastating balls of flame and wild flail combos. Defeating him yields Flame of the Fell God, the incantation he once stole.
Lore
Adan is a heavyset man in the armor of a Fire Prelate under a fire monk's mail hood. He swings a spiked flail and casts flame from a Giant's Seal.
He stole Flame of the Fell God, an incantation kept secret by Chief Guardian Arghanthy. It revealed that the fell god still lurks within the flame of the Fire Giants.
The fire monks came down from the Mountaintops of the Giants to Liurnia in pursuit of the fugitive who stole their fire.

Attacks
- Flame of the Fell God: he raises his hand and sends a slow orb of fire that bursts and sets the ground alight; keep distance and sprint clear of its blast.
- Fire Burst: a quick blast of flame right in front of him, marked by a red rune; roll back or aside when the rune appears.
- Wild Strikes: seven wild flail swings and a spinning finish; stay just out of reach and punish after the finisher.
- Overhead Swing: a downward flail smash, often after a dodge roll; roll sideways.
Tactics
- Wear the Flamedrake Talisman to soften his fire.
- Watch for the red rune that marks each fire spell and dodge away.
- Stay just outside the reach of his flail combo, then strike when it ends.
- Stun him with heavy weapons and follow with one or two hits.
- Pull him away from burning ground so the fight stays clear.
- Ranged builds can pummel him while he casts his slow fire orb.
