Rocky Hill - Top (Golem Boss)

[Krovah]

Hey guys, anything I can do to help run this boss down? I noticed on some bosses, like the Treant I could use fire skills to burn the branches and negate some damage but I'm struggling on this one. Is it just going to be more about being able to tank the hits here?

Edit
Setup my party as the following per the answers below in case anyone in the future runs into the same problem!

Role - Summon - Skill
Tank - Rock Turtle - Mana Bite (for defense buff)
Air - Phantom Whale - Hunting Blow (Air Attribute)
Dmg - Brown Slime - Animal Attack / Courtship Tackle (Dmg)
Air - Rock Spider - Hunting Blow (Air Attribute)
Dmg - You - Cavalry Assualt (dmgdmgdmg)

This is my current spell list, is the best route Air Cutter here even with the low attack power?

If you head over to the discord, there is a channel for each area with pinned posts for some of the fights. Over there I basically posted you should try a group with the following formation:

tank, summon with a wind attack or spell, dmg dealer, summon with a wnd attack or spell, you as a dmg dealer

As ArcanisCz mentioned, wind has a special effect.

My Rock Turtle does not have Mana Bite. Do I miss something. I have everything cleared only thing i have to do now is to beat the boss but i struggle doing it. i get half of the health down actually.

[Darnavir]

Mana bite is a tamer class skill. Available skills, MP/stamina/elements are class dependent (at least in the first run) - use whatever you have to fill the positions.

aaahhh ok.. Thank you... I will try

I beat the golem with a breakdown similar to this, but using ALL air magic (air bazooka), and kept the black insect last instead of having a phantom whale. As a sorcerer, i too had no mana bite, but it wasn't a problem.

I should mention that this is just barely enough, and doesn't succeed every try.

While it is a bit out of date there is a guide to the first run in the guides section. The most helpful thing in the guide is telling breakpoints for how much base attack you need and the most useful summons to focus on. The breakpoints are actually a bit less now but if you follow the guide you can get through the first playthrough in about 3-5 days of relatively active play.

As a warrior class? I don't have Mana Bite,Hunting Blow,Animal Attack / Courtship Tackle, Calvary assault.

I use air cutter and phantom fog and can't beat this thing.

if you have unlocked gluttony (i forget the req, but look up the guide mentioned by others for that), consider setting auto-consume of foods that gives bonuses to matk (fish - phantom whale through regen or fishing action at coastal city, mushrooms as a dungeon clear reward over at the forest) - of course, having mentioned these two foods, gluttony is designed for players who aren't really bothered by the time required, especially because building up to a respectable level would require a number of days iirc...
