Golems are a type of Giant Humanoid Enemy in Elden Ring. They are massive humanoid constructs created to protect and guard against intruders, wielding their massive weapons. Though large, their weakness is their low mobility and their ankles, which will topple them with ease.

Golem Location in Elden Ring

Where to find Golems:

  • A Halberd Golem is hiding around the ruins at the southwest of Stormhill, near the Evergaol. This one is inactive and will immediately wake up and begin attacking when provoked.  It does not respawn.
  • There is another Halberd Golem hiding in the northeast corner of Stormhill, right of the Colosseum, similar to the above one. It also does not respawn.
  • An Archer Golem can be found guarding the entrance to Ainsel River Well in the east side of Liurnia of the Lakes, to the east of the Church of Vows. It does not respawn.
  • An Archer Golem is guarding the entrance to Castle Morne. It does not respawn.
  • Two Golems and one Archer Golem can be found on the bridge to Divine Tower of Limgrave (They DO respawn, good for farming Golem's Halberd) [Map Link]
  • A special Golem can be found at the east of Caelid at the bottom of a cliff by going to the east from the Minor Erdtree (Dragonbarrow). [Map Link] This one is unique as it wields a magic halberd and can summon orbs to shoot lasers at you. It is powerful and is not worth the risk to kill, as it does not drop unique items.
  • Two Archer Golems wielding magic bows guard the ravine towards the Caelid Colosseum and the Great-Jar. Their arrows explode upon hitting a surface.
  • A Golem can be found in the fields west of the Shaded Castle near Maleigh Marais, Shaded Castle Castellan. 2427  runes currency elden ring wiki guide 18 Runes (Confirmed can drop Golem's Halberd)
  • Two Golems are found guarding the Grand Lift of Dectus -- one wielding a Greatbow and one wielding a Halberd.
    • Unlike other golems, they do not attack if player approaches them after using the lift.
  • Two Archer Golems and one Halberd Golem between the Outer Wall Battleground Site of Grace and the Draconic Tree Sentinel Boss fight.
  • One Golem can be found near the Divine Bridge Site of Grace in Leyndell, Royal Capital. [Map Link] It does not respawn. The Blessed Dew Talisman is in a chest near this golem. See more information below. Does respawn in Leyndell, Ashen Capital.
  • Two are south of the Freezing Lake grace in the Mountaintops of the Giants. They can be used to break the glowing statue containing Smithing Stones. [Map Link]
    • Probably the best spot to farm for the Golem's Halberd

DLC Locations

 

Divine Bridge Golem

There's a particular non-respawning golem that is often confused with a boss due to its positioning. The "Divine Bridge Golem" can be found when proceeding across the Divine Bridge, the entrance to Leyndell, Royal Capital. The massive-sized Golem will be lying on the floor, only to slowly stand up and fight you, but it is not an enemy you must defeat and it is not a boss. [Map Link]

Melee Users

The bridge golem is extremely easy for melee users.  With any two-handed melee weapon, immediately do a fully charged heavy attack on its legs twice.  This will cause it to fall over and allow a Critical Attack on its chest.  This can be immediately repeated before it finishes standing up for an easy win.

Magic and Ranged Users

Sorcerers will want to have Rock Sling when engaging at a distance. Those good at reading attacks in close can hammer it with Glintstone Pebble, but one mistake can take a magic user out of the game with the low HP pool. Throw rocks at the ankles to knock the Golem down, then hit the chest with a couple of casts before retreating. The golem has an extremely long range reaching attack that can one-shot a magic user, so stay far back and advance to hit and run at the edge of Rock Sling's range.

 

Divine Bridge Golem Attacks & Counters

Elden Ring Golem Notes & Tips

FAQ: Where do I farm Giants Elden ring?

Some players refer to these Golems in Elden Ring as Giants. They are ideal for farming early game since defeating them will allow you to earn you Runes and additional EXP easily. This is especially beneficial for players who want to quickly level up early game. A good area to encounter multiple Giant Golems are at the Tower Bridge that leads to Divine Tower of Limgrave. This Location can be found on the map. [Map Link] Since Limgrave is the first Location available in the game, you can easily begin farming early game to level up your character. You can find a total of three Golems here, Two Golems and one Archer Golem. The Golems in the area respawn, so you can locate the closest Sites of Grace to rest at them then continue farming. There are two Sites of Grace in the area, cross over using Waygate to reach the Divine Tower of Limgrave Site of Grace or return to use the Limgrave Tower Bridge Site of Grace in order to get them to respawn and continue farming. 

The Golems in this area suffer from friendly attacks as well, so one method of defeating them is baiting the Archer Golem to attack while you are lined up with the other Golems. For melee users, focus your attacks on its legs and these giants will stagger easily and eventually fall, giving you the opportunity to deal all your offensive attacks while it is incapacitated. 

Other Golem Notes

  • Deals Standard (Halberd), Pierce (arrow) and Fire Damage. Variants from Caelid deals additional Magic Damage.
    • There is unique Golem from Caelid near "Redmane" painting location. This one uses halberd infused with magic and attacks with ranged attack dealing pure Magic Damage.
  • Weaknesses: Unarmored body parts. Attacks there deals increased damage.
    • Depending on variation, these are either its ankles, wrists, or chest.
    • Late-game variation can be fully covered in armor, but poise-breaking them is still possible.
  • Can't be parried, but can be poise broken. Poise break stuns them for a long time and allows to perform a riposte dealing massive damage (riposte is done to the chest)
  • Neutral to Strike Damage, low resistance to other types of Physical-type damages/Magic Damage and medium to other Elemental-type damages.
  • Immune to Status Effects.
  • It is recommended that you use a melee weapon (preferably a Heavy or Colossal Weapon) to bring the Golem down easily, by positioning yourself by the ankles, charge up your heavy attacks 2-3 times, the Golem will then fall down and give you the chance to deal crit damage. When it tries to stand up, position yourself again at the ankles before it could fully recover and repeat the process.

      I heard the advice to attack the arms of the secret magic golem in Caelid and I managed to send that idiot to hell. I couldn't stunlock it to death because I was using Guiza wheel that deals standard damage, not blunt. So I had to dodge its magic balls attack and do the old school strategy to stay between its legs, I missed 1 critical oportunity because the idiot fall with the chest to the wall. The runback killed me more times than that golem, I died like 8 times in a row and it was not the total number of deaths, lol, my control's L3 was a little f****ed. Dropping down directly from the spiritspring is for 200 QI nerds, I had to make the ape way.

        This piece of sh!t is a testament of how poorly designed some areas are. The idea is to stance break them and do a critical hit, but very often their upper body will clip through the ****ing ground and make the spot vulnerable to the crit inaccessible

          Can we please, for the love of GOD, switch the drop rate between the Golem Greatbow and the Golem's Great Arrows? It is so ridiculous that you would get the weapon you only need 1 of, 5 to 6 times before even getting a single drop of the consumable item that you're GOING to want more of. And if you're going to argue an incentive mindset that, "oh, this allows toxic players to abuse it more", well all that's going to do is allow those who can duplicate these via glitching and/or game save modding to simply fill their inventory while everyone else is left at an uneven playing field. Can we PLEASE raise the drop rate on the arrows? Please, FromSoftware. Listen to your player base. I'll give you a cookie if you do it, just please, though. Aaaaaaaghh lol

            Does anyone know which areas' golems can drop which smithing stones? The drop table on this page shows that they drop them up to the 7th tier, but golems appear in almost each area of the game, and you clearly can't expect a golem from limgrave to drop a smithing stone of that tier, so some better clarification on this would be welcome.

              The Archer Golem guarding the mountaintop stone bridge doesn't respawn, but the devs placed a duplicate of him that's visible outside his range that's visible even after you've killed the actual Golem. You can see the fake golem from the Statue of Marika, all the way to around 3rd stone of the bridge where he pops out of existence.

                The Caelid one is tough and the ride back painful. I think you want to hit it with ranged spells that have good range, longer than the comet azur on sword of night and flame. It's possible to hit the hands too but the hands aren't down there for long. Alternatively spam nebula. Also be careful not to get knocked off the cliff.

                  If you want to beat the laser golem in Dragonbarrow (out of vengeance since he doesn't drop anything) use a Destined Death effect from Black Knife or Black Blade (weapon or incant), bloated HP and resists won't save him from getting shredded by %HP damage

                    We know who made them now! The ancient civilization of Rauh did, given the fact that the things associated with the civilization that were introduced in the dlc have stone relief motifs that are very similar, if now exactly identical, to those adorned on the bodies of the golems. Makes sense why we also find some Golems in Rauh/Rauh Base. Also makes sense why we never learn of the Golem's origin in base game, as Rauh was sealed off when Marika veiled it, so history outside was wiped from existence.

                        At one point I killed one of the respawning Golem archers in the canyon leading up to the Caelid Colosseum, and rather than dropping a conventional item it spawned about a dozen regular environmental Gravel Stone pickups. Is this normal? I've never seen or heard of this happening before.

                          Missing the 3 Golems on the way to fight the Draconic Tree Sentinel in Altus Plateau. Two archers and one halberd. The archers do not respawn when killed but the halberd one does.

                            If you want to fight the Caelid Golem at RL 1+0 this is how I did it: Zweihander (strength + dex talismans), cragblade ash of war, opaline bubbletear, and stonebarb cracked tear. While focusing on its hands whenever possible, 2 fully charged r2’s can often chain stun it for 3-4 ripostes. In total you’ll need 10-12 critical hits.

                              New to the game so I'm not sure whether this is a glitch or not, but the ranged ones don't seem to attack you when you come into close quarters. I charged the one outside Castle Morne and half expected it to stomp me into oblivion, but all I got was a bunch of free hits?

                                At this point, the caelid one needs his own page. All of the poor golems are being held accountable for caelid ones crimes. Seriously they are my favorite mobs in the game but that caelid one is singlehandedly ruining the reputation of these guys

                                        You know how when you kill the two blue archers in Caelid, and for 30 minutes they don't drop anything? And when they do drop something, it's the ump-dozen-teenth golem greatbow or even great arrows that the golems don't even use?

                                        Man, that's the freaking best! It gets me so stoked! Like when I shatter a tooth or something... good times, good times.

                                        (Just for the record, my item discovery is 215 pre-fowl foot. I had a much easier time farming rune arcs from rats.)

                                        In addition, to anyone who'll say "it has to be this way because they're too good in PvP" then why the heck don't they get re-adjusted for PvP... you know, like everything else.

                                        5% drop rate on magic arrows my butt... at least in my game. These kinds of situations just punish honest gamers and breed cheating to the extreme.

                                        Some merely lack patience, however, we can't all be assumed to be 13 with the ability to spend every waking moment gaming.

                                        There's gotta be balance... as in all things.

                                            FromSoftware was out of their mind when they designed the Caelid laser golem. It has more health than a good 90% of main story bosses/demigods (almost all mid-game bosses and a lot of endgame ones, including freaking Placidusax). A random oversized toy soldier is canonically more powerful than the god of all dragons.

                                                      The one in Caelid has 35,000 hp (dealt 35,077) and can functionally hit a third of the arena its in with a single swing. For reference on that HP: Fire Giant has 43k and a weak spot. Malenia has 33k. Placidusax has 26k.
                                                      Get the redmane painting, take the spiritspring down there, grab the ash of war, and if you do not have a great rune active: put on a sacrificial twig, poke the giant, grab the rune arc, die to the giant. It dropped a smithing stone 4 (5%) for me along with about 5k runes. If you have a great rune active, don't hit the giant and teleport to somewhere else.

                                                      • Crystal darts turn the golems hostile towards other mobs. They take more darts than the imp statues and watchdogs, but in some cases it may be worth it.

                                                          Easy for melee users? I mean... you can barely see it's attacks and one mistake you die (unless you're over leveled). I don't think this is the best definition for easy xD

                                                              Really looking for a way to cosplay these in multiplayer, as I really enjoy the Halberd. I wonder what armour would be best for it.

                                                                Just finished farming 2 from stormville castle. This the best option. I used a plus flamberge with holy ash. Absolutely devastated the 2 with the halberd. The archer golem also hits them and helps you bring them down. Took me about 10 trys to farm 2 halberds. I am now powerstancing these with flame of the redmanes at plus 12 and and just shredding everything alive! My favorite weapons in this game!!

                                                                  • Anonymous

It was shocking but also cool as hell when I got close enough to see a giant humanoid figure with a bow instead.

                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                          The one in Caelid is definitely tough. Having gone through and completed everything, he was the last on my list before starting NG+. So I was definitely overpowered. Turns out, he isn’t that hard. First, use the spirit spring to jump aiming for the pot right at the corner of the ledge. Once you clear the ledge be sure to steer back toward the cliff making sure not to land on the tree branches. You can land all the way to the bottom without damage.

                                                                          Then after getting a few sneak attacks in while he’s sleeping, run over to the far north east corner and used any long range method. Loretta’s Mastery works great. Get as many shots in and he will eventually turn around and go back toward his station. He will keep walking toward you looking scary, but if you stay in the corner, he will always back off.

                                                                          Plan your flasks and talismans accordingly. No need to rush, or risk melee. Just slow cheesy death.

                                                                              -mix Stonebarb Cracked Tear (poise break) and Strength-knot Cracked Tear (strength) in your Physick

                                                                              -spam heavy attacks on his wrist- you might get 3 in a row before he stands up
                                                                              -this should be enough to immediately break his poise (you can try for one last heavy heel strike if not)
                                                                              -while he's broken, run over to his flaming chest and tap a light attack for a fabulous lava-spewing critical hit
                                                                              -mount Torrent and book it for the far side of the area to regroup/ heal if it got sloppy
                                                                              -you will be amazed at how little health he has left at this point!
                                                                              -when ready, charge in with Torrent and dismount right between his feet, slightly behind him
                                                                              -continue heavy attacks on his heels, he should die before he rips off another magic orb attack

                                                                                  • Every single one of these golems should be just as cool and dangerous as the one near the Redmane painting. Literally legendary fight for what it is and it’s not even a boss fight.

In addition, if you use the Grand Lift of Dectus, the two Golems at the top will not be hostile unless provoked.

                                                                                                  Yeah ngl that's pretty bad advice. These guys are very tanky and you'll probably use up all of your FP to kill them with magic, and their attacks at range are way harder to dodge and survive than their close range attacks. Additionally most (maybe all?) seem to have a built-in critical modifier like land octopi, where critical hits do crazy high damage.

                                                                                                  By far the easiest way to kill them is to just get under, two hand your weapon, and use fully charged R2s until they stagger. This can be as low as 1 hit on high poise damage weapons, but even something like a spear usually only takes 2, just be mindful that the ones wearing ankle guards will take a few more. Still though, when you are under them they tend to go for a stomp move which is very easy to dodge and gives you plenty of openings. After the first riposte, you can generally stagger them again before they even have a chance to finish standing up - effectively an infinite until they die.

                                                                                                  • Anonymous

Two archers and one with a double-ended weapon. The archers are weak to physical attacks on their ankles, and go down quickly. The doublehanded guy is awful. Strong to physical vs. ankles, strong to lightning and fire, immune to poison and rot. I'm an Enchanter and haven't tried Magic. Does this guy have any known weaknesses at all?

                                                                                                          It's possible to bypass all three of these golems, and maybe most people do. I'm just curious whether there's any easier way to knock down that third one.

                                                                                                          • The mage golem in Dragonbarrow is one of the hardest enemies in the game. Larger health pool then Flame Giant, more defense, microscopic arena, magic damage on all attacks so nothing is blockable, massive attack range that goes through all the cover in the area. Don't know who balanced that dude, maybe added one or 2 extra 0s on their health pool?

It's up high on the cliff on the northern edge, and the only way I know of to get to it is to go up to the erdtree atop the cliff and jump down a series of platforms to get to it. There's also an ash of war for bows and some other thing down there, forgot what it was.

                                                                                                                • Quick strat for the dragonbarrow golem: grab an upgraded misericorde with the flame of the redmanes(or any high crit weapon), and enough cerulean flasks to chug around 4ish times(non-leveled mind). Hop down, spam ash of war three times and he'll stagger down, during that time drink a fp flask and crit him. Wait for him to start getting up and repeat, took around 4 crits for me. You can do this with most golems, they can't attack and you get a free kill if timed correctly.
