Tips On Defeating The Furnace Golem

How To Get Oil-Soaked Tear in Shadow of the Erdtree 7

Furnace Golems are mini-bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree, with a significant health pool compared to the other enemies and bosses. Bringing them down is no easy endeavor, so you must summon your trusty Spectral Steed and be ready to jump up the numerous stomp attacks. There are many new Incantations and Sorceries that you can use to dish out a severe amount of damage. Pest-Thread Spears and Impenetrable Thorns are both spells that can be acquired in the latter half of the game and can pack a serious punch to these giants if the player has high stats.

If you are facing trouble, do not be shy to summon a Spirit Ash to help you fight these Golems.

Apart from the Fire Stomp attacks, this Golem also has an attack where it charges up the fire inside its furnace head and can follow up with two attacks. The first one is homing fireballs that can hit the player one after the other, and getting hit by multiple will take out your entire health bar. In the second attack, the Golem goes down on its knees and lowers its head to summon a circling wave of fire from the furnace. The mini-boss also has a grab it can do if the player decides to stay close to it during the majority of the fight.
