Kyshakk Koan Firecage Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I need some help getting through it. The golems are eating me alive. I am a shaper with a highly upgaded vlish, and a few non upgraded artilas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 What level are you? Do you have any zones to explore or sidequests to complete that would get your level up? Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Depending on the difficulty, I would recomend going into that hellhole when you're around level 24ish. Probably more. You can recruit two pairs of golem's near the eastern and southwestern corridors, alothough the ones on the east side will run out of power after a while.

Kyshakk Koan Firecage Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 The ones on the southwest side...uhhhhh....if tis the ones I am thinking of, I did not know I could controll them and I destroyed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 If they're golems that attack you on sight, they're the wrong ones. If they weren't hostile, you just destroyed them. —Alorael, who recommends gaining experience anywhere else you can possibly go for now. The Stoneworks are hard! Once you've exhausted your possibilities, you can try again. Acid and physical are good for killing golems, but expect to start depleting your stock of healing and buffing items.

Kyshakk Koan Firecage Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Well, I beat it. I created alot of unupgraded artilas and let them take out the golems. Thx for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Geneforgeisformeyukkyu Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I don't know what you are talking about, on torment, when I tried to use acid on golems, it had almost no effect on it whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which spell did you use? Searer is now poison, not acid, so it won't do much to golems. Burning Spray is acid and it works fine even on Torment.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Burning spray and lightning aura are the only real spells to do damage to golems that early in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 It actually works out fairly well for just about every play style. If you shape, you have a source of acid or physical: bugs for battle, roamers for fire, and the admittedly more difficult artilas for magic. Magic is tougher, but you can manage with the spells Randomizer named. Hack 'n slashers do their usual thing. —Alorael, who definitely ended up with more roamers than he expected to use on his first Stoneworks playthrough.

Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I just went through there last night on my first playthrough of GF5. I'm an Agent with a drips acid steel broadsword, so my main strategy right now is pretty much to burning spray/melee someone or lightning aura them, then move on to everyone else around until all the baddies are getting done 200 points of auto-damage per turn while I just heal/cure myself.

Curious Artila Propaganda Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hi everybody! Well, I am at lvl 25 (Shaper biznitch!)w/three cryoas and a battle alpha at moderate levels. So far I am at the ROOM OF DEATH, well for me... My strat with the golems are physical attacks from the creatures while thorny auro is up. It's not melting butter but it works... right now I am stuck in that dizamm room... it might be time to drop the cryoas. =( they are the first to hit the floor.

Garrulous Glaahk Shaper Tristan Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 huh ive never thought of the stoneworks as particularly hard. my advice is beef up your mechanics and go for melee( or if shaper make melee creatures)the golems have great elemental resistance so any magics kinda sucks. and get the controllable golems they'll save your life.

Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 You'll notice 4 levers in the room. Two of them are next to doors. One door opens if left unchecked, and guardian roamers come and attack you. The other is the exit. The other two levers control the bursts of energy. By clicking on each lever in order (although the order doesn't matter, just stick to it), you can keep the energy from blasting you, keep the roamers from attacking you, and eventually unlock the exit door. Just keep running in circles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 You're stuck in the room with the sparking machinery, right? Restoration aura helps a lot. So does getting your creations into the roamer room and out of the machinery's way. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Stay in combat mode. It'll reduce the pace of the damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Cryoas are a poor choice to get through that area since only their melee attack does significant damage against the golems and they don't take physical damage that well. I got through with a sorceress and 3 cryoas by finding a room where I could stand near the doorway with my cryoas safely behind me and acid attack the only golem that could hit me from the doorway. It's painful and you spend most of the time healing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 When i went through stoneworks i was a fairly powerful shaper. 4 alphas got me through the area. My first set died after we got out of the powercore to golems and i had to shape 4 more, but we took down makar with relative ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 On my very first play through, I did it with cryoas. I may have had a bug or two, but it's doable on easy. Put up all of your buffs. If you don't have regeneration aura, cryoas don't stand a chance.

Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 everything is doable on easy. I play on torment...as do most people as im aware of. FYI im not trying to down anyone because difficulty depends on the person. And heck, i played on easy the first 3 geneforges the first few times through.

Tenderfoot Thahd Drowklath Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Sorry for the necropost, but the most effective strategy for stoneworks is to apply acid and wait, as almost every enemy has 50% physical res or more, and are effectively immune to fire and cold. Shaping builds can use corrupted thahds, magic builds get burning spray, acid batons, so on and so forth. if you're playing a guardian you should be prepared to suffer already.
