Stone Golem

Not to be confused with .

The  is a returning stone construct monster in Risk of Rain 2, and is part of the monster family.

Skills & Behavior
Any single instance of damage that deals more than 30% of the Stone Golem's total health will stun it and interrupt its attacks or movement.

Primary: Seismic Slam
The Stone Golem can slam its fists together which creates an explosion dealing 300% damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0 in a radius of 5.5m with linear falloff.

Using this attack will not disrupt the Golem's laser charging. This attack has an animation duration of 2 seconds.

This skill has a cooldown of 1 second.

Secondary: Laser Attack
The Stone Golem uses a slow-charging laser attack from its eye that tracks the player for 3 seconds (scales with attack speed). The laser then explodes dealing 250% damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0 in a radius of 4m with sweet spot falloff. The explosion occurs at the end point of the laser beam. This attack also deals knockback with a force of 5000 and has an end lag of 2 seconds (scales with attack speed).

The Stone Golem is able to use his primary attack while the laser is charging.

The laser is blocked by physical objects, but it will still charge and track its target even if line of sight is broken.

This skill has a cooldown of 5 seconds, which starts only after the laser has exploded.

Behaviors

 * 1) Use primary: the Stone Golem must be within 6m from its target.
 * 2) Use secondary: the Stone Golem must be within 10-45m from its target and have line of sight.
 * 3) Chase: no requirements.

Tips

 * The laser can be avoided with a well-timed dodge, or if the player is hidden behind a physical object. Having high enough movement speed can also allow the player to avoid it if they dash to the side. Because they cannot turn quickly without jumping, hiding behind the golem will work as well.
 * The melee attack can be easily avoided by keeping space or dodging, but keep in mind that it will damage the player regardless of which way the Stone Golem is facing.
