Tips for Fighting Golem Smiths

• Golem Smiths have a huge amount of health but a significant weak spot on their back that can deal much damage.
• Crystal Darts are a great tool, as they can cause the Golem Smiths to aggro against other enemies nearby, giving you time to prepare for combat.
• Ambush Shards is a near guarantee for hitting the gems in their back.
• Using spells with a low FP cost, like Discus of Light, can be highly efficient in dealing with Golem Smiths as long as you hit the weak spot.
• Golem Smiths have high resistances and are immune to all Status Effects. However, they are susceptible to Strike Damage.
