The Topaz Golem is a foe and a summon in Epic Battle Fantasy 5. It is an endgame foe, almost strictly found in The Rapture and the Lava Lake, along with one or two squirreled away in Redpine Town. It is a member of the Golems enemy group.
Appearance[]
The Topaz Golem is a roughly humanoid figure constructed out of a mass of jet black stones, each of which has multitudes of orange and yellow crystals jutting out. The yellow are presumably topaz while the orange would be rubies. The crystals on the shoulder, hands and "core" are yellow while the rest (arm connectors and legs) are orange. The crystals on the hands are akin to blades, being very sharp and with a sort of a triangular baguette cut. Unlike the golems from Epic Battle Fantasy 4, Topaz Golems have a set of "eyes" on their core, in this case three small circular yellow gems.
Overview[]
As befitting both a golem and a foe found in the final area, Topaz Golems are strong foes that are not to be trifled with. Boasting three elemental absorptions and a diverse selection of statuses it can inflict from its many attacks, the Topaz Golem can pose some trouble to an unprepared party (particularly on harder difficulties), though abusing their lack of Freeze resistance can make them relatively harmless.
Topaz Golems do have nine different attacks to throw at the party, but these are all either Fire or Thunder elemental. They are capable of inflicting Burn, Stun, Dry and Stagger, which can improve the Topaz Golem's damage output or mess with the player's strategies. They may also apply Defence debuffs. The Topaz Golem is also capable of summoning additional foes in the form of Ruby Ore and Topaz Ore with several of its attacks; be prepared to deal with the additional foes coming in.
Topaz Golems absorb, Fire, Thunder, and Earth, resist Dark and Bio and are immune to Wind, and are weak to Bomb, Ice and especially Holy. They are immune to Poison and Virus, and heavily resist Stun and Instant Death. They are also slightly resistant to all stat debuffs, aside from HP. With "More Foe Resistance" enabled, they become neutral to Ice and Holy, become immune to Bio, absorb Dark, and oddly their Thunder absorption becomes an immunity instead. They also become completely immune to Stun, Chill, and Freeze, and gain a high resistance to Attack and Magic Attack debuffs.
Topaz Golems are notable for being the only foe to drop Donuts. See the farming section for more details.
