Phase 1: Ground Combat
The Stone Golem is your first major 'Titan' encounter. Initially, it will attack with slow, sweeping arm swings and ground pounds. These attacks are heavily telegraphed, giving you ample time to dodge. Your primary goal in this phase is to damage its legs. Focus on heavy attacks to break the stone armor on its ankles. Once an ankle is exposed, continue attacking it until the Golem stumbles. When it falls, quickly grapple onto its body. This will initiate the climbing phase.
Phase 2: Climbing & Weak Points
Once you've grappled onto the Golem, you'll need to climb its massive form to reach its glowing weak points. These weak points are typically on its back, shoulders, or head. As you climb, the Golem will try to shake you off. Watch for the on-screen prompts (usually a quick button press) to hold on. If you fail, you'll be knocked off and have to repeat Phase 1. Once you reach a weak point, repeatedly attack it until it shatters. After shattering a weak point, the Golem will often thrash violently, so be prepared to hold on or quickly move to a safer spot. Repeat this process for all weak points. The Golem has multiple weak points, and you'll likely need to repeat the ground combat and climbing phases several times. Use Shadow Magic during the climbing phase to maximize damage to the weak points.
