Golgra, the formidable chief of the Gestrals in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, is a boss that will test your combat skills. This guide will break down how to beat Golgra.

The key to defeating Golgra is mastering the parry and dodge mechanics. Golgra’s attacks are relentless, but they are also predictable. I remember the first time I faced her; I was so focused on dealing damage that I completely ignored her attack patterns. I died within a minute. It was only after I took a deep breath and focused on her movements that I started to see the openings. Her combos are fast and furious, but with practice, you'll be able to anticipate and counter her every move. One of the most important things I learned was to not get greedy. It's better to get in a few quick hits and then back off, rather than trying to land a full combo and getting caught by her counter-attack. A helpful resource for mastering this is our guide on how to parry in Expedition 33.

Golgra's Attack Patterns

Golgra has a few key attack patterns that you need to watch out for:

• Three-Hit Combo: Golgra will start with two quick slashes, followed by a powerful overhead slam. The first two hits can be parried, but the overhead slam must be dodged.
• Spinning Attack: She will spin around multiple times, creating a whirlwind effect. This attack is difficult to parry, so it's best to dodge out of the way.
• Leaping Attack: Golgra will leap into the air and come crashing down with a powerful slam. This attack has a large area of effect, so you'll need to dodge roll out of the way to avoid taking damage.

I remember my “aha!” moment when I realized that her leaping attack could be used to my advantage. I would bait her into using it, and then as she was recovering, I would rush in and get a few hits in. It was a risky strategy, but it paid off in the end. It's these little things that make the difference between victory and defeat.

Recommended Build

For this fight, I recommend a build that focuses on speed and agility. A light weapon, such as a one-handed sword or a pair of daggers, will allow you to get in quick hits and then retreat before Golgra can retaliate. I also recommend equipping armor that has high evasion and stamina regeneration. This will allow you to dodge her attacks more effectively and keep up the pressure.
