Bestiary Entry

Genus: Rank VI Mark
Classification: Augmented Automaton

"A magickal Fiend of great Size, appearing Sometime after the Destruction of Nabudis. The Manner of its Fashioning and the Source of its Power are both Mysteries, its apparent Materials and Accoutrements being wholly different from other such Constructs. Of late, Interest in this Fiend has spread beyond the usual scholarly Crowd, leading Barrong, an aspiring Author of Bestiaries to post a Bill for this Mark."

Battle

To find Goliath, enter the Necrohol of Nabudis from the Nabreus Deadlands. When fighting Goliath, crowd control plays an important role. The moment you see Goliath, immediately cast Dispel on him. Ignore the Baknamy(s), just Dispel it. This move is crucial since Goliath will erect a Magickal Paling in the start of the battle, if you fail to Dispel it, be prepared for a long battle. First, dispose the Baknamy(s) (no matter you success in Dispelling Goliath or not), and focus on attacking Goliath. Like Automaton-enemies, Goliath can cast Graviga, which shave away about half your HP, unless you are relying on constant Bubble status by equipping Bubble Belts, do not cast Bubble spell on your characters since this will increase Graviga's damage. Goliath mostly relies on its Graviga Magick, as well as other types of Magicks, but it can dish out moderate damage sometimes. It can be fatal if you did not heal in time after its Graviga attack, since this will leave your characters in a very bad condition. Be sure to finish Goliath quickly when its health hits critical, since it will hit fast and hard.

An alternate, simpler tactic is to cast Reflect on your characters, or equip Mirror Mails to reflect Goliath's Magicks and bash him from afar using long-ranged weapons like guns, bows, or crossbows. Expose works well on him, so use it if you need to deal more physical damage.

• Goliath is the earliest farmable source of Holy Crystals in the game. The other monsters which you can farm Holy Crystals from are Hell Wyrm and Yiazmat. Farming Holy Crystals from Goliath is much easier than farming from the other two much more deadly monsters.
