Furnace Golem

Furnace Golems are exclusive elite enemies located in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion Shadow of the Erdtree: Charo's Hidden GraveRegion sub-region. Shadow KeepDungeon Army Campsite. Scorched RuinsGrace Ruins of UnteLandmark Ruins of UnteLandmark, unlit Furnace Golem East of the Cathedral of Manus MetyrGrace within the Scadu AltusRegion region Ancient Ruins of RauhRegion, West Ellac River, just before Cerulean CoastRegion Stance:. Parryable: No Is vulnerable to a critical hit after being stance broken Recovery time is very long Riposte is done to furnace face and it deals high damage From semi-extensive testing, it's been found that a critical strike on a Furnace Golem will always do roughly 53 of it's health. While not completely certain, it seems that the damage scales with your weapon's attack rating, even if very slightly. For example, a weapon with an attack rating of 1408 did 86,803 damage while a weapon with an attack rating of 234 only did 84,781 damage. Must be staggered three times before stance is completely broken Damage: Standard, Strike, Fire Weak spot: Legs (if unarmored), Furnace/Face When unarmored - Pest Threads or Pest-Thread Spears is a highly effective way to fight them, even without an optimized build at point-blank it deals a significant amount of Damage. When legs are armored - Seek the high ground nearby and throw Hefty Fire Pots and Hefty Furnace Pots into the basket to deal high damage It is possible to quickly apply stance damage to an unarmored Furnace Golem by casting Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike while standing between the feet of the Golem. Other ceiling-to-floor spells may have similar effects. (Needs Testing) Rather than trying to optimize stance damage, you should try optimizing how much base damage you can do. Furnace Golems are not stance broken based on stance damage but instead stance broken based on health thresholds on the individual legs. Carian Slicer, Shard Spiral, Pest Threads and other high damage and/or multihit spells against the legs all have the potential to perpetually stagger the unarmored Golem until you can critically strike its mask and kill it outright.
