The Messenger

Quite frustrating but here is a video of me finally doing it:

Once you've reached the end of the Tower of Time, you will now face off against the Arcane Golem. His attack patterns are simple and easy to avoid so long as you remain standing on his hands the majority of the time. Here are the attacks to look out for.

He uses one hand at a time to try and push you from one side to the other off the ledge so make sure you jump over his hand to avoid being pushed off. Alternatively, you'll want jump on his hand and climb up onto the other and from there jump towards his face and slash him or throw shurikens to damage him.


His next attack will fire beams out of the palms of his hands down at the ground. Jump on top of the lower hand and use it to jump to the next hand and slash his face or throw shurikens at him from afar.


After slashing up his face a bit more, he will bring his hands together and clap causing a shockwave to throw you back. If you don't have the Second Wind ability, you probably should get grinding and purchase it before this fight. The shockwave will knock you off the ledge and kill you and he uses this ability every time you hit his face 4-5 times.


Once you've hit him a few times, he'll summon glowing orbs that revolve around his head while moving his hands around. What you want to do is try to cling to the side of either hand and get on top of them once again and wait for the orbs to come flying at you so their initial destination will be up high. Once they start coming your way, jump off the hand and run to the opposite side to avoid the others.


Once you've slashed his face even more, he will combine two attacks. Palm beams moving back and forth with static orbs you have to jump over/under at the same time.


Now, you're entering the final portion of the battle so his hands will grab the platform you're standing on and send beams skyward on certain sections. You'll get a brief moment before the beams shoot up to see where the safe spots are.
