10 Alternate Video Game Boss Strategies You Never Knew
4. Fire A Crossbow Bolt Directly In Golyat's Eye For An Insta-Kill - The Witcher 3: Blood & Wine
The Witcher 3's brilliant "Blood and Wine" DLC features an early mission, "The Beast of Toussaint," where the player faces off against the gigantic, barrel-headed boss known as Golyat.
Much like the Phantom Train, Golyat isn't too challenging, as long as you keep your distance from his powerful club attacks. But developers CD Projekt Red nevertheless included an amusing shortcut for players wanting to fell him a little quicker.
Basically, if you're able to launch a crossbow bolt directly in the eye-hole of Golyat's barrel-helmet, you'll not only score an instant kill no matter his health at that point, but also unlock the "David and Golyat" achievement.
While it might take a few attempts to land a winning shot - especially as Golyat sure likes to move around a lot - it's certainly a quicker (and funnier) route to victory than actually fighting him proper.
