  • As soon as the fight starts, Goliath will shoot lots of orbs at you. Dodge them all. Lock on and keep your drone busy.
  • Another attack which Goliath uses is its sandwich attack. It tries to trap you between its buzzsaws. Dodge this attack.
  • Another attack which it uses is it raises both or one of its arms and hits you with it. This one is a simple attack to dodge. Keep this strategy of dodging and attacking till you see 9S come in.

 

  • After this, Goliath gets new attacks. When the boss disappears, run towards the camera to avoid damage.
  • It will attack with a smash attack which you can dodge only by jumping in the air.
  • Then, attack the boss till you defeat him.

  • Dodge them by running in any direction.
  • It also has a vertical slash attack which can be easily dodged as well.
  • It also attacks with a beam but you can see it coming from a mile away so it is easy to dodge as well.
