Tips & Strategies for Beating Redstone Golem

Strategy Checklist



Do Not Step on the Mines

Obviously. The Redstone Golem will scatter a lot of them on random parts of the area. They disappear when you step on them (don't do it, though) or when the Redstone Golem replaces them by making new ones appear.

Be Aware of the Lava Pools

There are some lava pools in this area that may be difficult to notice since its color blends with its surroundings. You will suffer continuous damage when you fall in one of them which makes it harder to run from the golem while also dodging the lava mines. Remember the areas with lava pools and plan your route ahead when moving to a safe place.

Use Melee Attacks when It Stops

The Redstone Golem will stop when it starts to make lava mines sprout from the ground. During this short period, attack it like a madman and then roll away before it moves again. Using the Boots of Swiftness helps a lot in escaping, too.

Learn to Kite

"Kiting" refers to poking or attacking an enemy while maintaining an optimal or safe position. Since the Redstone Golem is chasing you most of the time, learn to kite it using your ranged weapon until it stops, where you can safely attack it with your melee weapon.
