Unlocking the Golem Fist in Elden Ring: A Complete Guide

The Golem Fist is a newly introduced weapon in Elden Ring, part of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. This unique weapon is crafted from shattered rocks sourced from the remains of forge golems.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to farm the Golem Fist and optimize it for an impressive Bleed Build that can take down any boss with ease.

Where to Find the Golem Fist in Elden Ring

You can farm the Golem Fist by taking down Stone Golems located in Taylew’s Ruined Forge, which is situated at Rauh Base, west of Scadu Altus.

To reach the forge, start from the Highroad Cross Site of Grace, heading northwest. Follow the path left, passing through a cave where you’ll encounter a Giant Miranda Sprout and some Perfumer enemies. Make sure to dodge the Stone Birds in the next area before entering the toxic swamp.

Once at the Rauh Base Site of Grace, continue northwest until you arrive at the marked location. Enter the broken building through a small entrance, leading you to Taylew’s Ruined Forge.

Keep in mind that the Golem Fist has a low 3% drop rate for every 100 points in the Discovery stat. To maximize your chances, consume a Silver Pickled Fowl Foot and wear the Silver Tear Mask to enhance your discovery rate. You can farm several Stone Golems in the early sections of the forge without issues.

Be cautious of the Flame Tears, as they can be deadly if you’re not careful while farming the Stone Golems. Follow these steps to easily get the Golem Fist weapon in Elden Ring.

Stats and Requirements for the Golem Fist

The Golem Fist in Elden Ring is classified as a Strength weapon, requiring 24 Strength, 11 Faith, 11 Intelligence, and 8 Dexterity to wield.

The Golem Fist has C scaling for Strength and E scaling for Faith, Intelligence, and Dexterity stats. Its weapon skill, known as Endure, costs 9 FP and temporarily boosts your poise.

You can apply any compatible Ash of War to this weapon, as well as various consumables, greases, and magic.

You can upgrade the Golem Fist to +25 using Smithing Stones. Starting at the base, it delivers 110 Physical Damage, which can be improved to a maximum of 269.

When executing a heavy attack (R2/RT), the player can launch the fist as a projectile toward enemies. If you’re two-handing this weapon, using a strong attack will allow you to throw both fists at once.

This fist weapon weighs a mere 5 and can fetch 500 Runes when sold to any merchant in the game.

Best Build for the Golem Fist in Elden Ring

For this build, focus on a fully upgraded Golem Fist with a blood Affinity to trigger Bleed effects. Pair it with a fully upgraded Dragon Communion Seal to cast the following incantations:

These incantations will significantly enhance your attack power. This build is optimized for an endgame character at level 180, with skill points distributed as follows:

• Vigor: 60
• Strength: 80
• Arcane: 50

To further boost your attack power, equip these talismans:

• Lord of Blood’s Exultation: Increases attack power by 20% for 20 seconds after a bleed occurs.
• Millicent’s Prosthesis: Boosts Dexterity by 5 and enhances damage on successive hits.
• Rotten Winged Sword Insignia: Raises attack power of consecutive attacks by up to 13%.
• Axe Talisman: Boosts attack power of charged skill attacks.

Wearing the White Mask of Varre will amplify your attack power during bleeding situations. For the rest of the armor, opt for Rakshasa’s Armor set to increase attack power by an additional 6%.

You can use the Great Turtle Shell shield to improve your stamina recovery speed by 7%. However, it’s optional since you’ll primarily be two-handing the Golem Fist in Elden Ring.

With this setup, you can take down any boss in mere seconds by spamming the heavy attack!
