A huge black beetle with great crunching mandibles and very hard chitinous armour.

A goliath beetle is a slow but powerful beetle found in the early Dungeon. It has high durability and a brutal attack, but can easily be outrun.

Tips & Tricks

  • Low-level characters should kite it in order to avoid melee, or flee it outright if you don't have the patience to whittle it down with ranged attacks. If you need to melee one, attack and step back, forcing it to waste its turn catching up to you.
  • They are vulnerable to poison attacks and have low magic resistance.
