Mortal Shell 2 No, You Still Can’t Win Trophy Guide / Achievement Guide (Tar Golem Boss FIght) - Take the Tar Golem to his Minimum Health [Bronze]
MISSABLE TROPHY
This trophy is awarded for reducing the tutorial boss “Tar Golem” to 0 health. This boss works like typical soulslike tutorial boss where you are intended to lose against it, and reducing it to 0 health will cause this to happen immediately regardless of your own current health. You only fight the Tar Golem once during a playthrough during the tutorial section, you don’t fight it again during New Game+, so you need to earn this trophy at the start of your playthrough. You can make a backup save beforehand (PS+ Cloud) to reload if needed, and if you feel you start doing poorly during the fight you can pause and quit to main menu, which will put you right before the Bone Gate when you reload the game.
The Tar Golem is a relatively slow enemy, and you can reduce its health to zero by mostly taking it slow and chipping away at it. It will end the fight eventually if you take too long though, so you need to still actively keep attacking. The main thing to watch for are the big unblockable attacks, like when it jumps into the air and tries to smash the ground where you are standing. Always pay attention if it’s doing this attack, if you get hit by it directly it can instantly end the fight. The normal attacks you should aim to parry whenever possible, because you can get a large amount of damage into the boss if you stagger it and then perform a Riposte attack.
If you are struggling you can slightly reduce the damage you take by defeating the miniboss Tainted Vestige which is in the area just before the Disciple’s Grotto Beacon. Defeating it drops a Burnt Effigy which when equipped in your passive item slot reduces the Fire damage you receive, which is what the Tar Golem primarily does.
