Golem Boss Battle Guide

Stay close and attack head-on

Golem's attacks are mostly focused on hitting at a close range. Rocket Punch will miss if players are not directly in front of it, while Blue Laser will miss if players stay very close to Golem. The best way to handle its variety of attacks is to stay in close and continue attacking throughout the fight.

Of course, there are some attacks that will land while in this range, but Golem's attacking power is not high enough to cause major problems.

Watch out for Red Laser's Burning effect

After decreasing its HP by 50%, it will start to use the Red Laser attack, a burning attack with a wide range. It's not so powerful on its own, but its Burning effect will cut your Defense in half, making it much harder to stay on the offensive.

If you've been burned, try to stay out of the fight until the status is healed.

Golem Attack Phases

Golem Abilities and Attack Patterns

Golem will start with Rocket Punch, then switch to a series of about three other attacks selected randomly. Then, it will start again with Rocket Punch and repeat this cycle.

Attacks change when its HP decreases

After decreasing its HP by 50%, it will start to use the Red Laser attack, which inflicts the Burning status. Burning will cut your Defense in half, so stay out of the fight or use Clear if you've been hit until you recover from the status.

Attacks change in Cycles 2 and 3

From Cycle 2 on, Golem will gain access to a new move, Double Lariat. An attack with about the same range as Red Laser, Double Lariat will see Golem spinning its arms around in a circle, and depending on their position, players may be hit twice by the attack.

The attack is not so powerful on its own, but taking the hit wastes time, so it's better to Defend and avoid getting smacked full-on.

Golem Rewards

Artifacts and Items Dropped

Each Boss drops a set of four Artifacts when defeated. The set of Artifacts dropped depends on the current cycle count, number of players, and the number of Bonus Points earned by the players. At high levels, non-Artifact items like rare Materials and Scrolls can also drop.

Players must earn at least the indicated number of Bonus Points for their given player count and cycle to receive a given Set.
