GUARDIAN GOLEM

HINT LEVEL
BOSS GUIDES

The Guardian Golem towers over you in Highroad Cave, wielding a massive halberd that can cleave through multiple attackers. This ancient stone construct relies on brute force and devastating stomps to crush intruders. Despite its intimidating appearance, it has a critical weakness that makes this fight much easier than it first appears.

PRO TIP

Equip any strike damage weapon like a Flail, Club, or Hammer before entering. Strike weapons deal massive damage to the golem's stone body, making this fight trivial. If you don't have one, grab the Club from the soldiers near the Gatefront Ruins.

WATCH OUT

The golem's halberd sweep covers nearly 180 degrees and has massive range. Only triggers when you're at medium distance. Stay directly underneath it at all times - this forces it to only use stomp attacks which are much easier to handle.

LOOT DROPS

You receive the Blue Dancer Charm talisman and 1600 runes. This talisman boosts your attack power based on how light your equipment load is - perfect for dex builds and casters who avoid heavy armor.
