The Golem is your first major boss encounter in Euclid Castle. It's a large, slow-moving earth-elemental creature with high physical defense and attack power. It primarily uses physical attacks, including a powerful ground pound that can hit multiple party members.
Strategy:
- Party Setup: Cress (damage), Mint (healing).
- Weakness: The Golem is weak to Wind and Water elemental attacks. However, at this point, you likely won't have access to these. Focus on raw physical damage.
- Cress: Use your strongest physical Artes like 'Demon Fang' and 'Sword Rain'. Try to get behind the Golem to avoid its frontal attacks.
- Mint: Set her strategy to 'Heal' and ensure she keeps Cress's HP topped up. Use 'First Aid' or 'Heal' as needed.
- Items: Have plenty of Apple Gels and a few Life Bottles ready. The Golem hits hard, so expect to use healing items.
- Tactics: The Golem is slow, so Cress can often outmaneuver it. Guard when its attacks are incoming. Focus all your damage on it. This is a battle of attrition; keep healing and attacking until it falls.
Reward: Experience, Gald, and usually a minor equipment piece or item.
