What to know
- The Earthen Golem is the early-game boss blocking the Forgotten Temple Gateway in the Emerald Wilds.
- It moves slowly but has strong melee attacks (overhead strike, punch, stomp, and spin) that drain stamina fast.
- Ranged weapons (shortbow, crossbow) and dodging/blocking with a shield are the safest ways to fight it.
- Defeating it drops emeralds and green crystal shards, and opens the path into the Forgotten Temple.
The Earthen Golem is the first major boss in Hytale, guarding the Forgotten Temple Gateway in the Emerald Wilds. Slow but strong, its heavy melee attacks drain stamina quickly, so dodging, shielding, and using ranged weapons are key. Defeating it rewards emeralds and green crystal shards and grants safe access to the Forgotten Temple, unlocking new zones, gear, and story content.
Where to find the Earthen Golem
The Earthen Golem stands right in front of the Forgotten Temple Gateway. It’s usually the first major boss encountered in the game, blocking the portal into the Forgotten Temple. On the map, look for a large cross‑shaped structure and follow the gateway icon on your navigation bar to reach it.

If you don’t want to fight it yet, you can lure the golem away from the portal and quickly jump through before it catches up.
How to prepare for the fight
Before facing the Earthen Golem, make sure you’re well-equipped to handle its heavy attacks. Bring a reliable weapon like iron or better, along with a shield for blocking, and wear armor that provides good physical protection, even light armor helps. Stock up on healing items such as potions and food to restore health and stamina mid-fight. A shortbow or crossbow can give you a significant advantage, as the golem is slow and can be safely kited from range.
How the Earthen Golem attacks
The Earthen Golem uses a set of predictable melee moves; learning its patterns is the key to staying safe.
- Punch attack: Swings one arm straight forward; telegraphed by a wind-up animation.
- Overhead strike: Raises one or both arms and slams down; deals heavy damage and can knock back.
- Stomp attack: Lifts one foot and slams it down, dealing area damage around its foot.
- Spinning attack: Rotates its arms rapidly, hitting multiple times; blocking with a weapon drains stamina quickly, so dodge or block with a shield instead.
Its slow movement makes it easy to keep distance and attack from the sides or back.
