Guardian Golems are enemies in Elden Ring.
Overview[]
Golems are giant stone warriors said to have been made with an impure crystal by a golem crafter long ago.[1] They were built to defend a civilization now gone to ruin.[2] Though many are long broken, some golems still protect the ancient ruins.
Their hard, stone bodies are very resistant to physical damage, and Fire and lava can be seen through the plates on their chests. They can eject streams of fire through their helmet. Many golems carry massive Golem's Halberds with surprising reach that can tear the earth asunder. Others fire Golem Greatbows with great precision.
Variants[]
Guardian Golem (Halberd)[]
A golem carrying massive Golem's Halberd with surprising reach that can tear the earth asunder. It can eject streams of fire through its helmet.
Moveset[]
Guardian Golem (Greatbow)[]
A golem carrying a massive greatbow. It pulls back the hardy string with its immense strength to shoot great arrows infused with the storm.[3]
Almost defenseless at melee range since they can't point their bow further down at that point. The actual danger lies mostly in approaching them, after that the stomps should be of minimal difficulty.
Moveset[]
Guardian Golem (Magic Halberd)[]
Be wary of the instance of this enemy on the cliffs just east of the Minor Erdtree in Greyoll's Dragonbarrow that wields a magically infused halberd, as it is extremely powerful and capable of using the halberd to summon three orbs that shoot a very destructive magical beam.
Guardian Golem (Magic Greatbow)[]
Be wary of the Golems that guard the approach to the Great Jar of Caelid, as their arrows unleash a magical explosion upon landing.
