The Golem

The Golem is the eighth boss encounter in the Citadel of Darkness. He is located inside the depths in the citadel. The Golem is a more difficult boss because of the strong adds during the encounter.

Strategy
First of all, the Golem has a ton of health. The Golem has the most health out of any boss in this raid, besides the Legend Mode only boss.

Second of all, he summons adds. Sometimes, near the end of the encounter, you will be swarmed with adds if you are not fast enough to kill him. Sometimes, killing the adds is not recommended, because they take long to kill, and by that time another one would have spawned.

The Golem must be kited around the boss room, or else you will not defeat the boss. He can hit hard sometimes, so it is recommended not to let him get very close to you.

One strategy for this boss is to avoid the adds and burn the boss. This strategy is not always effective, because if you don't do enough damage to kill the boss fast enough and he summons the swarm of adds, you might not survive the swarm.

For this strategy, you will kite the boss around the room without worrying about any adds. You will not want to let the adds corner trap you, or else you're going to wipe on the fight.

Another strategy is to occasionally attack the adds, but attack the boss mostly. This is a little more effective than the previous strategy, because this strategy will allow you to kill of a few of the adds to make them less of a problem.

For this fight, you will attack the boss mostly, and sometimes if an add is next to the boss, you will strike the boss and then immediately strike the add to make sure you can still get the boss down as fast as possible. This strategy is more effective than the previous one, because if done correctly, you will kill the boss in the same amount of time but still be able to slay some of the adds.
