Description
Miner is a Humanoid Enemy in Elden Ring. Miners are hostile creatures found in tunnels and mining caves. They will fight when approached, and are resistant to slashing attacks. Magic, however, is effective against them.
Notes
Where to find Miners:
Near the bottom of the Ruin-Strewn PrecipiceGrace.
There are two Miners next to a campfire north-by-northeast of Bellum ChurchGrace, right next to the path leading to the ravine.
There are three Miners with hot-tipped Pickaxes surrounding a four wheeled wagon cart east of the entrance to Gael TunnelGrace.
In each of the following mines/tunnels:
Limgrave TunnelsGrace
Sealed TunnelGrace
Morne TunnelGrace
Gael TunnelGrace
Old Altus TunnelGrace
Yelough Anix TunnelGrace
These enemies share their movesets with Demon's Souls counterpart, and are weak to magic. Melee slashing attacks have little effect against them. (Power Attacks and Jumping Attacks are not affected by this.
The miners carrying normal stones will throw rocks similar to Ruin Fragments if the player is farther away.
The miners carrying exploding stones will explode if hit with fire, hurting their allies.
The miners carrying exploding stones will also throw Explosive Stones instead of normal stones if the player is farther away.
Miners found in the Sealed TunnelGrace carry green stones upon their back and throw Poisoned Stones.
Some carry lanterns that also function as flamethrowers.
Strike weapons are perfect against them, even a non-upgraded Mace or Flail will do more damage than most other weapons.
Fire Pots, Fire / Firebone Arrows, and weapons infused with Fire Grease can make short work of Miners.
There are occasionally somewhat taller individual Miners that have more health and drop more Runes.
There is a different kind of miner that mines Glintstone, called a Glintstone Miner.
