Description
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.

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 LimgraveGrace. 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 LimgraveGrace Site of Grace or return to use the Limgrave Tower BridgeGrace 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 CaelidRegion deals additional Magic Damage.
There is unique Golem from CaelidRegion near "Redmane" painting location. This one uses a halberd infused with Magic and can summon orbs that fire lasers, 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 variants 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.
