Rock Golem Fight Strategy

The Best Tips for Rock Golem:

• Recommended Party: Gran, Ghandagoza, Lancelot, Siegfried
• Recommended Sigils: Combo Booster III, Stamina III, Critical Hit Rate III

The recommended party for this boss fight would include Gran, a well-balanced character that can provide both offensive and defensive capabilities for the team. Ghandagoza is a heavy hitter specializing in close-range combat that deals massive damage. Siegfried, another heavy hitter who specializes in strong swings that can result in devastating attacks when perfectly timed, and Lancelot, a dual-wielding master swordsman who specializes in evasion and overwhelming flurry of attacks. The best Sigils for this fight are the Combo Booster III, Stamina III, and Critical Hit Rate III. All the recommended sigils are best for players who focus on dealing continuous barrage of attacks against the boss for maximum damage. This boss fight will require you to defeat the Rock Golem in under 20 minutes. The Rock Golem demonstrates a lethargic tempo, enabling players to readily anticipate most of its attacks since most of its moves are easily discernible by its slow movements. Gran can be used to support other teammates with its healing ability, his element is also Wind, which is the most effective element against this boss fight. But the damage heavy hitters would be Ghandagoza and Siegfried. Lancelot can build up his combo by performing a relentless barrage of attacks, and since he can dodge and attack at the same time by pressing △ after performing combos, he can stay close and continue dealing damage against the Rock Golem.

Combat Strategy

The Rock Golem will begin to animate as the player locates the key and starts to activate it in the Dahli Relicbelt in chapter 6 of the main storyline. Start by putting a target on the boss. The Rock Golem will also have several targetable body parts and when you're playing co-op, it's recommended to coordinate with your teammates and concentrate on a single body part at a time. By doing so, you can efficiently build up the stun gauge, speeding up the execution of link attacks., which, in turn, leads to a faster stagger of the boss and creates opportunities for you and your team to deal more damage when it's vulnerable. Once the boss fight begins, it'll immediately perform the Titanic Stonespike, a move where it slams its hand on the ground, creating a wall of giant rock spikes emerging in a straight line. The Rock Golem will perform this move multiple times throughout the fight. This can easily be dodged or blocked. One of its melee attacks consists of the Rock Golem executing a backhand swipe, followed by a powerful advancing punch. This move is signaled by the Rock Golem adopting a brief stance before performing this move. To evade the attack, you can dodge, block, or create some distance. The Rock Golem has two moves where you'll see it leap into the air, one is the Earthbound Slam, where it jumps back, then leaps toward a targeted player and punches the ground, creating a small shockwave. This can be easily avoided if you look out for the red indicator showing you where it will land. The other move is the Quakeslam Barrage. This move is where the Rock Golem jumps into the air and slams into the ground, resulting in a shockwave that launches a massive rock upward. This will be followed up with large chunks of rocks descending from the sky, scattering across the battlefield. Dodge the initial jump and try avoiding the red marks scattered around the area to avoid the rock projectiles. The final move it has while in base form is the Tectonic Eruption, this move is where the Rock Golem builds up seismic energy and after a brief moment, it releases a massive shockwave that ripples through the ground. Simply move away from the boss to avoid getting hit, but if you prefer to keep dealing damage in close range, time your dodge correctly to avoid getting hit.

Similar to the Greatshield Madbeat and the Quakadile, this boss features a yellow bar of meter just beneath its health bar. Once this gauge fills up, the Rock Golem will enter Overdrive Mode, triggering the activation of Bloodthirst. During this phase, Skybound Arts become ineffective against the boss, and its overall damage taken will be reduced. Some bosses can unleash special attacks while in Overdrive Mode, but in this case, the Rock Golem will only have access to one new move, maintaining the majority of its base form attacks. However, it can occasionally string together basic moves while in Overdrive Mode, adding an element of unpredictability. This phase will only be temporary but it can happen more than once during a boss fight.

Once the Rock Golem enters Overdrive Mode, it'll immediately perform the move Earth Shaker. This is when the Rock Golem brings both hands down to the ground, initiating a sweeping shockwave that ripples through the entire arena. Simultaneously, colossal rock formations emerge around the Rock Golem. The Rock Golem will then proceed to execute a spinning move that launches the massive rocks in different directions. Players caught in the initial shockwave will be knocked down and temporarily receive a reduction in movement speed. During this move, you can have Lancelot perform his skill Kaltzwinger, where he casts an ice trap to immobilize and freeze the Rock Golem. You can increase the duration of the freeze by holding △. This will give other teammates time to deal massive damage while the Rock Golem is invulnerable. As mentioned above, this will be the only new move that the Rock Golem will have access to during Overdrive Mode, but it will retain the same basic moves it has and can sometimes string together those individual moves to add some unpredictability to its attacks.

Once you've beaten the boss in under 20 minutes, the quest is cleared and you'll receive the Quest Mode Clear Reward 3.
