Useful Info
Iron golems are tough, but slow-moving constructs. They're immune to hostile enchantments and elemental damage.
Tips & Tricks
- Use its speed to your advantage, whether you're a caster or a melee brute. Iron golems are slow enough for anyone who isn't a devotee of Cheibriados to kite.
- To actually take down an iron golem, expect to have to pound on it for an extended period of time with physical attacks or spells like Airstrike, Earth Magic, or non-elemental Conjurations. Try luring it somewhere relatively safe so you aren't rudely interrupted by something capable of keeping up with you.
- Lee's Rapid Deconstruction works well on iron golems. It has the added bonus of creating shrapnel that damages anything adjacent to the golem.
- Don't let yourself get boxed in with an iron golem; they may be slow, but they're strong enough to mash a squishy wizard in a couple hits and deal serious damage to melee fighters.
