Statue of Marble and Brass in Genshin Impact: how to find and defeat

In Genshin Impact The Legatus Golem is a Marble and Brass Statue and elite boss, added to the game With You the release of update 4.6. It drops a Fragment of a Golden Melody, which is necessary for the rise of certain heroes. In this guide, we will tell you where you can find this enemy, what team you should prepare to fight him, and the fastest way to defeat him.

Where to find Golem Legate in Genshin Impact

The arena with this boss is located in the Dilapidated Castle, which is located underwater east of Petrichor. You can get here during or after completing the quest chain "Canticles of Harmony". Move to the teleporter shown in the picture below, and then run forward and go down the stairs.

Continue down until you reach the second teleportation point - activate it, go up, and you will find the enemy you need here. He will not come to life until you come close to him, so prepare well and only then engage in battle with the boss.

Golem Legate Respawn

After you defeat this boss, he will recover approximately in 3-5 minutes – you need to teleport to another area or re-enter the game for the monster to appear again. Remember also that to collect rewards from it you will have to spend 40 units Original resin.

Golem Legate Characteristics

In his normal form, his resistance to all types of damage (including physical) is only 10%. However, from the very beginning of the battle, this enemy has a Geo Noelle: Protector, which increases resistance to all elements by 60%. For this reason, damage dealers and owners of two-handed swords should be taken into the Geo squad in order to quickly destroy its Hurdle. While paralyzed, the Golem Legate's resistance is reduced to -70%.

If we talk about the combat performance of this statue, then in terms of health and attack power it is significantly superior to such bosses as Setekh Wenut or the Iniquitous Baptist, therefore it is a rather dangerous opponent. For example, at level 90, her base HP is 594 thousand units (the baptist has only 371 thousand), and ATK is 19 thousand units (the baptist has 15.2 thousand). You can see all the characteristics of the enemy in the image below (2P, 3P and 4P show the parameters when playing in co-op).

Tips for choosing heroes

Given the boss's relatively large health bar and high attack power, we recommend that you pay as much attention to your squad's survivability as to its damage. If you see that your shield guy can’t cope with the incoming damage, then take a healer into your pack as well. It will help the characters recover from the Golem Legate's powerful area attacks.

We strongly recommend taking Geo damage dealers or fighters using a two-handed sword, as you will have to break through the boss's strong Geo Noelle: Protector . He also lends himself well to falling attacks, so teams with Xiao and/or Xianyun will look good. In the absence of such heroes, you can take any Electro, Hydro, Cryo or Pyro characters to create reactions such as Melt, Steam, Elemental Reaction: Overloaded and Charged.

Dendro and Anemo do not combine with Geo in any way, so it is better not to use damage dealers of these elements. But at the same time, you can take supports of these elements if they can strengthen the main damage control, apply shields or heal allies.

Optimal commands

Taking into account the above information, we have prepared some of the most suitable units that will be the easiest for you to deal with Marble and Brass Statue. They are shown in the table below.

Golem Legate Attacks and Movements

Overture

After the start of the battle, the boss jumps from the pedestal towards the player, dealing physical damage over an area.

Geo Noelle: Protector

From the very beginning of the battle, the boss is protected by a Geo barrier, which is vulnerable to falling attacks and attacks from a two-handed blade. After destroying the shield , the Legatus Golem will be paralyzed for approximately 12 seconds, and then his defense will be restored.

At the same time, the strength of the shield is halved with each restoration. At most, it can drop to 25% of the initial values.

First combo

The boss performs 2 horizontal slashes and 1 downward slash with his sword, dealing damage to Pyro.

Second combo

The boss performs 2 horizontal slashes and then slams his shield onto the ground, creating cascading explosions in front of him that deal Pyro damage.

Third combo

The boss slams his front hooves into the ground and then swings his sword downwards, dealing damage to Pyro.

Fourth combo

The boss slams his front hooves into the ground and then does the same with his shield, causing a cascade of explosions in front of him that damage Pyro.

Jerk

The boss lights his sword on fire and rushes towards the player, ending with an upward slash with his sword. This attack deals damage to Pyro.

Triple Fire Blades

The boss fires three vertical fiery blades towards the character, which, when hit, cause Pyro damage.

Resonator explosion

The boss will sometimes summon a resonator that can be destroyed with 6 hits, which will reduce the strength of the statue's Geo Shield. If you do not manage to destroy the device in time, it will explode and cause Pyro damage in the area.

Burning Barbara: Flow

The boss fires several note bombs at the character, which deal Pyro area damage upon contact with the ground.

Fiery Rain

The boss creates multiple projectiles above him, which soon rush down, dealing Pyro damage in a large area around the Golem Legate.

Fulgent Fortissimo

The boss sets the sword on fire and then causes 3 consecutive explosions around him, which affect a larger area each time. He then raises his blade, gathers energy and performs a powerful jumping strike, dealing massive Pyro damage to the area in front of him.

How to defeat the Golem Legate

Preparing for battle

Before the battle begins, you can eat dishes that increase attack power, critical damage and critical hit chance. It would be a good idea to drink potions that increase certain elemental damage to strengthen your damage dealers. In this case, the following will be useful:

• Shocking Essential Oil – Increases Electro damage by 25% for 5 minutes.
• Frosting Essential Oil – Increases Cryo damage by 25% for 5 minutes.
• Flaming Essential Oil – Increases Pyro damage by 25% for 5 minutes.
• Unmoving Essential Oil – increases Geo damage by 25% for 5 minutes.
• Streaming Essential Oil – Increases Hydro damage by 25% for 5 minutes.

The boss also primarily deals Pyro damage, so we recommend you take a Heatshield Potion, which increases resistance to fire damage by 25% for 300 seconds.

Battle strategy

Fortunately, there is nothing difficult here, especially if you have assembled a squad with a two-handed Geo. All you have to do is dodge the boss's attacks and try to destroy his Noelle: Protector. This can be done using reactions (Steam, Melt, Elemental Reaction: Overloaded, Charged), falling attacks or Geo strikes. In this case, you will deal damage to the enemy, even if he still has a Hurdle.

Also try to destroy the resonators in time, which the Legatus Golem will summon. Thus, you will not only save yourself from the need to dodge the next explosion, but also significantly reduce the strength of the enemy’s shield.

As soon as the Hurdle falls from the statue, it will be paralyzed, and the damage it receives will increase noticeably. Therefore, we advise you to use your characters’ ults at this very moment in order to have time to destroy the boss before he recovers.

Achievements for Golem Legate

During the battle with this boss you can get two trophies. Next we will tell you what you need to do to open them.

Beware of the Remurians

Start the battle with the boss and try not to deal a lot of damage to him. Wait until he summons the resonator, and then destroy him as quickly as possible, otherwise the device will explode. As soon as you destroy the mechanism, your achievement will immediately open.

Theater Fire Drill

Start a boss fight and lower his shield bar to about 5%. Then wait for him to perform the Fulgent Fortissimo attack. As soon as the enemy raises the sword up, immediately attack him and destroy the Noelle: Protector, after which the achievement will open for you.
