How to beat the Guardian Golem in Elden Ring

It's all about the Achilles heel!

When exploring the dungeon of Highroad Cave, you will eventually meet a Guardian Golem boss at the end of the dungeon. Luckily beating this boss is relatively easy. Start by equipping your best armor and a fast heavy-hitting weapon such as a Mace, Flail, or Ax.

You will also want to bring along one of your best summonable spirits, such as Godrick Soldier Ashes. If you don't have these spirits yet, you can get them in a cemetery near Stormveil with many jellyfish.

You will want to look for a body next to a grave at the cemetery. Looting the body will reward you with the Godrick Soldier Ashes.

Once you are prepared, head into the dungeon and find the boss. When you reach the boss room, you first want to avoid the boss's large AOE attacks. The best way to do this is to sit back and let your spirits take the brunt of the assault.

When there is an opening, you will want to rush in and hit with all you got at boss's legs shown above. The Golem's legs are its weakest point, and you will want to focus on the legs because of this.

Hitting the boss hard enough in the legs will down it, allowing you to deal a ton of damage without fear of reprisal. That said, keep focusing on the legs and using hit and run tactics, and you will beat the Guardian Golem in Elden Ring.
