The Infernal Golem (DLC Boss) — The First Descendant Walkthrough

Struggling with the Infernal Golem DLC boss in The First Descendant? This guide breaks down its attack patterns and offers strategies to help you defeat it.

Hey there, Descendant! Facing the Infernal Golem can be a real challenge, but don't worry, I've got your back. This massive boss hits hard, so let's get you prepped to take it down. First off, you'll want to keep a close eye on its attack patterns. The Infernal Golem has a few key moves you need to watch out for. It can unleash powerful ground slams that create shockwaves, so dodging is going to be your best friend here. When you see it winding up for a slam, be ready to roll out of the way. Another big one is its ranged projectile attack. It'll launch fiery orbs that track you. These can be tough to avoid if you're caught out in the open. Try to use the environment for cover when you can, or focus on precise dodges to weave through them. Remember, staying mobile is key! When the Infernal Golem starts charging up a massive energy beam, that's your cue to really get moving. This attack covers a huge area and can deal devastating damage. You'll need to find a safe spot or use a dash ability to get out of its path quickly. Don't try to tank this one; evasion is the only way. As for strategy, focus on its weak points when you get the chance. While it's recovering from certain attacks, you might see glowing spots or openings. These are your prime opportunities to deal significant damage. Don't get greedy, though; land a few hits and then get back to dodging. It's also a good idea to bring along gear that offers good defense against fire or explosive damage, as a lot of its attacks lean that way. If you have any skills or items that can provide shields or temporary invulnerability, now's the time to use them. Remember, patience is crucial. You might not beat it on your first try, and that's totally okay. Learn from each attempt, adjust your strategy, and keep at it. You've got this, Descendant!
