In the game "The Witcher 3" you have to fight with a mass of various monsters. And to defeat most of them, you will need to apply certain tactics and strategies. In this small guide, you will learn how to kill a golem in The Witcher 3.
Description
Before we learn how to kill a golem, let's figure out what this creature is. A golem is an artificial monster made from a piece of stone, wood or clay. Each such monster has a creator who breathed life into it with the help of magic. And only strong wizards can animate a monster, make him follow his orders. To do this, they use an obsidian heart, which is placed in the chest of the monster. And, as a rule, golems are busy protecting the life and treasures of sorcerers.
The creature's appearance is pretty ugly. Apparently, sorcerers do not particularly strive to make these mechanisms more attractive, and most often they resemble a pile of stones. But their ugliness is fully offset by their diligence. And each golem will carry out its task until its death.
So, according to legend, the first of these creatures caused the death of an entire city. It all started with the fact that the powerful magician decided to create an assistant for himself. He created this creature and breathed life into him, using the power of thunder Alzur. The sorcerer ordered the creature to draw water, and he plunged into his magical affairs. And the executive golem dragged water until it flooded not only the sorcerer’s house, but the whole city.
Where to find a golem
When passing the game "The Witcher 3" you will meet several golems. You will find one of them in the refuge of the mysterious elf in Velen, and the other in the magic tower that stands on An Skellig. Another golem lives in a cave under Temple Island. But also these monsters can appear in any refuge of the sorcerer. Especially a lot of them in Novigrad and No man's land.
How to Kill a Golem in The Witcher 3
This is a pretty dangerous opponent. He is strong, insensitive to pain and, rushing into battle, does not retreat until he destroys the enemy. And to kill a golem, both wooden and stone, is not an easy task, because its body is solid, like a rock, therefore it is difficult to wound a monster even with a silver sword, not to mention the usual one. The only thing that somehow affects the golem is acid. So before the battle, it is advisable to cover the blade with caustic oil against magic creatures. This will increase the chances of winning. And it is also useful to use two-dimensional bombs in battle.
In battle, the golem does not use any weapons, but he does not need it. After all, with his huge fists he is able to smash granite rock. So the blows of the monster should be avoided at all costs: neither a shield nor a sword will save them. Yes, and dodging fists is not easy, because the monster is able to move at stunning speed.
Fortunately, the huge mass makes the golem very clumsy. And having dispersed to attack, he cannot stop in time. So after the attack, you should bypass the monster from the back and strike him.
Battle tactics
How to kill a golem in The Witcher:
- 1st method. Pay attention to the obelisks that are always located next to this monster. If used correctly, they will beat the golem with electricity. To do this, lure the enemy into a triangle located between the three obelisks, and he will receive lightning damage. But be careful, because if the discharge begins, and the golem is outside the triangle, then the witcher will receive an electric shock.
- 2nd method is longer. Before the start of the battle, be sure to drink protective properties and treat the blade with a potion that helps to cope with magical creatures. Then wait for the monster attack, bounce to the side and beat him from behind. And it’s also useful to use the signs of Quen and Igni during the battle and throw two-dimensional bombs. So, slowly but surely, you can kill a golem, both stone and wooden.
