Goldweaver Titan

[Hyuur]

After activating the Shrine of Gold, a portal appears at the end of the teleporter and transports me to the Gold Realm. Theres a heap of beacons you must purchase and when you do it activates the Goldweaver Titan boss however he is immune to all damage. Anyone know how to beat?

[Bordan]

after you get all the beacons, it enables you to damage him i think you might have missed a beacon

Is the shrine of gold the ones that look like the chance shrine, But gold?
We activated one of those and it added a yellow small orb at the Teleporter, but we didnt get any new Portal (Like the Celetial for example)

[Hyuur]

Ah that must've been it

@Elvarion

Yeah it looks just like that. A gold portal appeared after the teleporter was completed

The shrine is the only one made out of gold and stands out nicely. You'll know it when you see it. You need to bring a hefty sum of money with you to activate it though. It says that a Golden Orb appears, but I haven't seen any. I've activated the teleporter, fought the regular boss on level 2 and afterwards, a Golden Portal appeared next to the regular teleporter. Use it instead of the teleporter and you will appear in a new location. Looks like a bunch of islands in an ocean or something. Shortly afterwards, monsters start to spawn. You kill them to gain money and then spend said money on activating some sort of sculptures (towers?). You can't miss them, there are like 5+ (maybe more) of them on the island. They'll have a 'pricetag' above them, so again, you can't miss them. Short while after, the Titanic Goldweaver himself will appear. He looks and behaves generally like a stone golem (I don't know all the correct names for the monsters yet): he summons several spikes from the ground in a straight line, each of those hurt, but can be avoided fairly easily. Then he also has the usual eye laser beam thing that you can only avoid either by running far enough away or breaking line of sight, which can be tricky with monsters around. I was playing the Engineer at the time, so I simply threw down a shield generator when he fired that thing and hid inside for the entire duration of the attack.

Once you activate all the towers, the Goldweaver becomes vulnerable for a short time. You've got maybe 10-15 seconds to attack him. I'm not sure exactly how much time you have, but it felt like 10-15 seconds max. After that, the towers deactivate, the Goldweaver becomes invulnerable once again and you have to reactivate the towers to make him vulnerable again.

When you finally kill him, a Golden Portal appears nearby that will take you to the next normal level. There will be a golden item next to the portal. In my case, it was a "+hp +regen" item.

One thing to note, even though it maybe obvious to some - the difficulty will continue to scale normally and will make a jump forward when you leave the island after fighting the Titan. Its as if you add a +1 level to your normal loop.

Oh and make sure you have a LOT of firepower, that thing is really beefy. Its not a problem in and of itself, but it takes a lot of time to kill, making the subsequent run more difficult.
