The Forge Ice Golem Boss Guide

The Ice Golem boss is one of the toughest enemies in The Forge, challenging your loadouts but providing some of the strongest drops. On paper, this enemy will make you feel stressed about your dodge and parry timing. However, if done right, you can take the boss down without shedding a single drop of sweat. In this guide, learn how to beat the Ice Golem boss in The Forge, along with the loot it drops after defeat.

The Forge Ice Golem Boss Location

The Forge Ice Golem boss spawns in the boss room at the Peak on the third island. You will find the boss behind the rune door at the Summit’s Edge. To reach the Frostspire Expanse, first, you must reach level 70. Once there, walk to the top of the mountain and enter the cave full of Orcs. Take the right lane, and at the end, you will find the boss room door. You can skip the running part by completing the Ice Man’s quest and using the launcher to reach the Peak directly from your spawn area.

The Forge Ice Golem Boss Details

Before you take the boss head-on, it is important to know about the Ice Golem in The Forge. As for its appearance, the Ice Golem is literally made out of ice. However, it is larger than any other enemy in The Forge. Moreover, it wears dark cyan armor that keeps its appearance unique. But who cares about looks, right? Here is a full overview and the details you must know before challenging the Ice Golem.

How to Challenge Golem Boss in The Forge

The timer for the Ice Golem works independently for each player. Any player can challenge the Ice Golem every 30 minutes by interacting with the door. However, you can party up with nearby players. To do so, go near the door and press the E key. Select the nearby players and start the challenge. If a player has the challenge cooldown active, their name will not appear on the list. The cooldown applies whether you win or lose against the Ice Golem.

Ice Golem Boss Attacks in The Forge

Just like other enemies in the game, Ice Golem follows a fixed attack pattern. These attacks show a red indicator before dealing damage.

• Basic Melee: When you enter melee range at any point in the Golem’s attack cycle, it throws a Basic Melee attack. This attack is parryable and deals heavy damage, so mistiming a block can cost you a large chunk of health.
• Falling Icicles: If you stay outside melee range, the Golem summons three icicles that fall directly on your position. The attack is parryable, but it is easier to avoid by constantly moving, as the targeting locks in early.
• Ice Spikes: After lifting one leg and stomping the ground, the Golem sends a straight line of Ice Spikes toward your character. This attack is parryable, but it has no bright warning indicator. You must read the Golem’s animation to react in time.
• Slam Dunk: The Golem jumps into the air and crashes into the center of the arena after about one second. Despite the huge area of effect, this attack can be avoided using dash iframes and is also parryable. It deals very serious damage if it connects.

• 3 players: 30,000 HP
• 4 players: 37,500 HP

Tips and Tricks to Beat Ice Golem in The Forge

Now that you know about its attacks and HP, check out some tips and tricks to defeat the Ice Golem boss in The Forge:

• The first thing we discuss is obviously the best weapons and armors to use in a boss fight. Spear is one of the best weapons to use against the Ice Golem. It has balanced attack speed and damage that helps you solo the Ice Golem in The Forge. For armors, a heavy loadout is a must.
• If you are just reaching level 70, we suggest you grab some better weapon recipes before you make a spear. Using Iceite or Snowite on the weapon and armor recipes will help you get better damage, passive, and defense to fight against the boss.
• When the Ice Golem does the icicle attack, keep running toward the snow pillars and climb them. This place is beyond the boss’s reach, making it ideal to let you heal up.
• To deal with the Ice Golem, we suggest you Archangel or Demon races in The Forge. If you are unable to roll them, use The Forge Codes or go with the Vampire class. The Vampire race is great for lifestealing.
• Before you go into the challenge area, make sure you upgrade your weapon and armor. You can also use runes that suit your loadout. This will make the fight easier.
