Guardian Golem Limgrave Boss

Description

The boss is particularly weak to magic damage, so you’ll have an easier time if you have some spells at your disposal. In this scenario you can essentially stand at the edge of the boss room and cast spells from a distance. The only thing you need to worry about is the fire breath, as this will reach you wherever you’re positioned unless you dodge out of the way to either side of it. The rock throw can also hit you from a great distance, but this is easier to avoid since the animation building up to it is easier to see. The boss doesn’t have much health, so it shouldn’t take too many spells to bring him down.

As a melee user you can get close enough to the boss to consistently attack its legs without needing to back off too much. So long as you’re ready to dodge the main melee attacks and run from the fire breath, you can easily maintain hits. In this scenario you should focus on using heavy attacks rather than light attacks, since this will break the poise of the boss much quicker. Once you’ve staggered the boss, you can execute a critical hit to inflict massive damage.

Lore

Location

You’ll find the Guardian Golem in the depths of the Highroad Cave, in northern Limgrave. To reach the boss room you’ll need to head down a number of passages where you’ll face wolves, bats, and octopus enemies. They shouldn’t pose too much of a threat, but you’ll need to be careful not to fall down some of the holes on the way down, and instead use the ledges to jump down gradually. A final piece of advice would be to ensure that you use a torch on your way down. You’ll be left in near total darkness otherwise.
