How to Beat the Rune Golem
As the Rune Golem relies on swinging and slamming its sword, you need to prioritise evading its strikes as best you can. You need to stay away from the boss as much as possible, which isn’t the easiest if your character is part of a melee class. If your class relies on close range combat, you must try your best to block and parry any oncoming attacks as much as possible.
