10 Tough Video Game Bosses That Can Be Instantly Defeated With One Simple Secret
6. Golyat Can't Stand Losing His Eye - The Witcher 3
The Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine DLC begins with Geralt traveling to Beauclair with three knights of the duchy’s ruler, Anna Henrietta. On your way to the lady’s palace, you come across a raging giant called Golyat, and even though you’re accompanied by a whole team of veteran warriors, the beast can still prove to be quite a challenge.
With his large arms and long club, Golyat can not only deal huge amounts of damage but also cover the entire battlefield when striking. To make things worse, he has an equally humongous health bar, so an average fight with him amounts to minutes of careful dodging and patiently dropping down his health with small slashes here and there.
That said, Golyat, like his biblical namesake, has a secret weak point that can be exploited to make him die in one strike.
It turns out that the barrel Golyat wears on his head isn’t just a fashion statement, but genuine protection for his weak spot: His singular eye. If you shoot it with your crossbow, the giant will immediately lose all health and die.
Technically, the original Goliath lost to a slingshot, but maybe a crossbow is an appropriate upgrade against an actual giant!
