Location:

Kazap Cave, guarding the Golden Crown.

Stats (Approximate):

  • HP: 150-200
  • Attack: Moderate
  • Defense: High
  • Weaknesses: None significant, but magic attacks are effective.
  • Resistances: Physical attacks can be less effective due to high defense.

Attacks:

  • Physical Attack: Standard single-target attack.

Strategy:

  1. Party Level: Recommended Level 7-9.
  2. Equipment: Ensure your party has the best equipment available from Romaria.
  3. Hero & Warrior/Fighter: Focus on physical attacks. Even with high defense, consistent damage will wear it down.
  4. Pilgrim: Keep your party's HP above 50% with Heal. If everyone is healthy, the Pilgrim can use physical attacks.
  5. Wizard: This is where your Wizard shines. Use offensive spells like Blaze repeatedly. The Gold Golem's high physical defense makes magic a very effective damage source.
  6. Items: Have Medicinal Herbs ready for emergency healing if your Pilgrim is busy or low on MP.

The key to this fight is consistent damage and keeping your party healthy. Don't be discouraged if physical attacks seem weak; your Wizard's spells will be the primary damage dealers here. Once defeated, you'll claim the Golden Crown.
