Stone Titan

Armor | 20

*Not to be confused with .*

The **Stone Titan** is a Boss Monster introduced in Risk of Rain 2, and is part of the   Golem monster family. Being a Boss, the Stone Titan may be encountered after initiating a stage's Teleporter Event. It can otherwise spawn naturally during higher difficulties.

## Environments

* Golem Family Event only:
* Other Environments with the Artifact of Dissonance enabled

## Skills & Behavior

### Secondary: Stone Fist

The Titan bends downwards and forces its fist into the ground, which erupts at the player's location, inflicting damage and launching them high into the air. The Titan begins by tracking the target for 0.5 seconds to predict their movement and then a fire ring appears at the predicted location from where the first appears after 1.5 seconds. The fire ring can be blocked by  before the fist appears. This attack has an end lag of 4.2 seconds.

The attack deals 100% damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0 in a radius of 5.5m with no falloff. The launching force varies between 3000 and 4000, depending on the player's vector from the center of the explosion. Note that the fire ring indicator has a slightly smaller radius than the attack covers.

The skill has a cooldown of 10 seconds.

### Utility: Stone Construct

The Titan summons a glowing cluster of rocks above it, which periodically fires homing lasers towards targets. The summoning lasts for 9 seconds (scales with attack speed), after which the Titan will be able to move and attack again. The construct will attempt to maintain its position above the Stone Titan's head, even adjusting its position as the boss bends down to perform its Stone Fist attack.

The stone construct lasts 25 seconds and fires the first laser after a 6 second delay. It then fires every 1.5 seconds for a total of 13 shots. Each laser moves at 50m/s and deals 30% damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0. The skill has a cooldown of 40 seconds.

### Special: Eye Laser

The Titan fires a laser from its eye after charging it for 3 seconds (scales with attack speed), inflicting heavy continuous damage to its target. While the laser is charging, a small red laser aims towards the player as an indication that they're being targeted. The laser locks onto the target and will not switch to a different one during its duration until the target has died, even if the target becomes or the laser is momentarily blocked by cover.

The skill deals 24 x 12.5% damage with a proc coefficient of 0.15 per tick over 3 seconds, and it has a cooldown of 20 seconds.

### Behaviors

1. **Use special**: the Titan must be within 20-80m from its target, have line of sight, and have less than 95% health. The minimum range means the Titan will not use the Laser if the target is very close to it.
2. **Use utility**: the Titan must be within 90m from its target and have less than 60% health.
3. **Use secondary**: the Titan must be within 200m from its target.
4. **Chase**: no requirements.

## Tips

* When fighting Stone Titans, the player's greatest survival tool is the terrain itself. The Eye Laser is its most powerful attack, so it is essential to hold a position close to obstacles which can break the Titan's line of sight while firing at the player. This is especially important for Survivors with poor (or a lack of) movement skills, such as  and  .
	+ If there are multiple Titans, the player can use one to block the Eye Laser of another.
	+ If there is no cover in sight, the player can strafe the Titan at very close distances. Staying close can prevent it from using the Eye Laser at all, and even if it does use the attack, it may not be able to rotate fast enough to keep contact with the beam.
* Another method of avoiding the Eye Laser is to bring in a collection of Drones to use as distractions while attacking the boss. Players should still be mindful, however, as the Stone Titan's laser can sharply divert its attention back to the player after destroying a drone.
* can massively reduce the damage of the Eye Laser, making the attack far less of a threat.
* The Stone Titan's Stone Fist attack can be used in tandem with its Eye Laser, leading to a deadly combo where the Titan launches players up into the air and lasers them in their defenseless airborne state. Even when hiding behind cover from the Eye Laser, players must make an effort to stay on the move.
* excels at fighting Stone Titans, as his  blocks both of the Titan's projectile attacks.
	+ With that in mind, players inside a shield are still vulnerable to the Stone Fist attack, which can also launch them out of the shielded area and expose them to lasers. Unlike players, however, Engineer's  cannot be launched.
* Despite the Titan's colossal stature, it possesses no melee attacks, and none of its attacks are any stronger point-blank than they are at longer ranges. This makes it relatively safe to fight it up close since it will additionally not use its eye laser as long as the target circles its legs.

## Lore

```
“A flash of red lightning, and a hillside moved to form this gargantuan stone warrior. A larger cousin of the Stone Golem (see Chapter 13), this mighty Titan commands not just lesser stone constructs, but the earth itself. Shaping rudimentary weapons out of dirt, the Titan is capable of striking from any distance with incredible force. Though, reflecting on the Titan’s immense power, that leads me to think... For what purpose do these constructs serve?

Compared to the Golems of the planet, the Titans do not seem to be created on the spot, but emerge from underground. Why are they buried underground? Are they kept there for safe-keeping, or are they imprisoned? Were they created as weapons, or as guardians? What happened to their creators? Further analysis of the planet will hopefully shed some light on these mysteries.”

## Trivia

* The Stone Titan is a possible successor to the Colossus, a boss in Risk of Rain 1 that shares the stone theme and has a similar appearance. The Colossus may have been replaced due its gargantuan size possibly being a challenge to work around in 3D.
	+ In Distant Roost, the silhouette of a massive, dormant Colossus can sometimes be visible off in the distance. This is clearly intentional as an Easter egg or development gag by the developers.
