Description

Rock Golems, referred to as Stonelife Golems in the Bestiary, are large, bulky stone constructs with a distinct glowing white core, and three peculiar stone discs on their "stomach" and "kneecaps." Their bodies look as though they're fragmented, but they remain intact regardless. They are given life by the Duke's unique Stonelife resonance. After the Duke found the Forge of Sin, the once protectors of the island turned on its inhabitants, now turned into mindless husks who do nothing but attack anything they see.

Rock Golems are only found in Upper Erisia, commonly in Burning Stone Gardens, and they can also be found through the following events:

• Rock Golem fighting a Megalodaunt (Upper Erisia)
• Rock Golem found at the final wave of the Bandit Invasion (Erisor's Church)

In combat Rock Golems are very hardy, having moderately high health and high slash resistance. Despite this, their attacks are relatively predictable and easy to punish, its flashiest attacks are the easiest to exploit, and the remaining ones are very easy to avoid.

Attacks

Name/Danger	Description	Media
Rapid Spin (★☆☆) ◉ Blunt	The golem starts spinning its arms, rapidly dealing low damage. Hits 30 times in total. Grants autoparry frames. You can attack the golem through these autoparry frames. 𓆩✧𓆪 Parryable ⛊ Blockable § Dodgeable
Laser (★☆☆) ◯ Typeless	The golem charges a laser from its core before firing it, creating a small AOE at the point of impact and dealing medium damage. Uses Telegraph Red ⚠︎ Unparryable ⛉ Unblockable § Dodgeable
Stomp (★☆☆) ◉ Blunt	The golem raises its leg before giving a powerful earthshaking stomp. Auto-grips if low enough 𓆩✧𓆪 Parryable ⛊ Blockable § Dodgeable
Ground Slam (★☆☆) ◉ Blunt	The golem brings both of its arms over its head, before quickly slamming them down into a vicious swing. 𓆩✧𓆪 Parryable ⛊ Blockable § Dodgeable
Uppercut (★★☆) ◉ Blunt	The golem winds up its arm before quickly swinging it outwards. Uses Telegraph Purple ☣ Unparryable ⛊ Blockable § Dodgeable ↗ Ragdoll
Scream (★★★) ◉ Blunt	The golem screams, making the ceiling above it drop rubble, dealing high damage if landing on player. This attack is only used if there is a ceiling above it, making it rare outside of the Trial of One. The rubble falls in a random location within a fairly large AoE. The rubble falls incredibly fast making it very hard to react to. Due to the above two points, this attack is generally not worth defending yourself against, as there's a chance that it won't even hit you, and even if it would hit you, the chance of you reacting to it and responding accordingly is relatively low. This can lag players on lower-end devices. Uses Telegraph Red ☣ Unparryable ⛉ Unblockable § Dodgeable

Tips

• Occasionally a Megalodaunt (or Terrapod) will spawn near a Golem, causing a fight to break out. It's a good idea to use ranged mantras to sneak in a bit of EXP and when one loses, go in for the kill on the other as it will be weakened from the fight.
• Do not try to block it's Spinning attack, as it will shred your posture quickly. However, parrying said move gives a lot of EXP, making it a sort of risk/reward. The best way to dodge this is to run since he will be slowed when doing this and you can run from him. Additionally, parrying the spinning attack with a weapon enchanted with Providence Thorns makes it way easier to kill.
• When parrying its spinning attack, sometimes it will force you to start blocking again, to combat this, just start parrying again when you start blocking
• The uppercut is actually not an instant blockbreak; however, you need a lot of posture to block it.
• It is possible to block the Laser using the pillars created by the Relic Axe's critical attack

Trivia

• Marcus seems to be related to the Golems, although he doesn't attack you on sight, drinks coffee and is infinitely more cool than the other Rock Golems as a result.
• The Spinning attack can destroy the gate in Duke Erisia's Manor and terrain around it, like trees.
• You are able to interact with some of these golems, though nothing happens upon pressing the E key.
• These are known to attack you regardless if you have the Mute Regalia or not, likely due to their nature as inorganic constructs, rather than animals.
• Rock Golems will always win their fights against Megladounts, due to having more health and do more damage and attacks.
• There are giant Golem statues placed along Duke Erisia's Manor, suggesting that there could have been much stronger golems.
• One of the several mobs that gives one Knowledge upon killing them for the first time.
