Deal with dodging to the Golem’s facet and getting a number of hits in every time it sticks its axes within the floor and comes at you. You can not guard its blows every time it raises each axes into the air or jumps. You may, nevertheless, guard any assaults that the Tar Golem makes with a single axe, together with its occasional kick.

Whether or not you win or lose the battle, the result is similar – a cutscene will play, and your valiant Shell comrade Harros will surrender his quasi-living state so as to maintain shifting ahead. What a bro.
