Fight Tips

Now that you have a good idea of the Stone Golem’s moveset, we can now take a look at how to tackle it and get it stuck into a pattern for an easy win.

The most reliable method to defeat the Stone Golem early is to put it into a parry lock. Whenever you Parry and perform a normal attack on the Stone Golem, it will almost always attack once again with a normal Parryable attack. Your goal will be to land a single Parry and lock it into a chain of parries and counters. This method follows a very simple pattern, as there will be two kinds of parries. The first Parry allows you to get one normal attack in as a follow-up, while the second will allow you to get two normal attacks in afterward. The Stone Golem will follow this 1-2 pattern repeatedly as long as you don’t miss any parry.

Even if you do miss a parry, and the Stone Golem goes into an unblockable attack, use your Pistol to interrupt it and wait for another parryable attack.

The goal in this fight is to keep parrying it and applying Enki’s Curse so you can break its armor and make it vulnerable enough for a kill. You must remain calm in this fight of attrition as getting impatient will result in a mistake that gets you killed.

With enough tries and experience, you will be able to bring down this powerful warrior regardless of your own level and gear. Upon defeating it you will be rewarded with the weapon, Herald’s Blade. This weapon is for warriors who can remain untouchable in combat as its damage multiplier increases with your Reputation multiplier.
