These enemies aren\u2019t really anything to write home about, so just blast through them with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mmo\/diablo-4-lord-hatred-content-confirmed-warlock-class-endgame-overhaul-echoing-hatred\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Warlock powers<\/a>, Paladin abilities, or whatever class you\u2019re playing.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred; A Blade&#039;s Weight (Rathma&#039;s Golem)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QX46thmZoJk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"QX46thmZoJk\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/QX46thmZoJk\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/QX46thmZoJk\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>(Fight begins at 24:14)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can teleport around the room.<\/li>\n<li>Can fire ghostly projectiles that float around the room that orbit the room to try and hit you.<\/li>\n<li>Summons ghosts from AOE circles that dash across the room and swing a scythe.<\/li>\n<li>Creates an AOE blast around itself at short range.<\/li>\n<li>Creates bubbly red lines of blood all over the room.<\/li>\n<li>Fires a cone of ghostly bullets.<\/li>\n<li>Conjures a crescent of ghosts in a red ground AOE that dash in a line and attack.<\/li>\n<li>Creates a ghostly circle to keep you pinned down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Perhaps one of the most annoying things about Rathma\u2019s Golem in Diablo 4 is that <strong>it can teleport<\/strong>. In addition, the second before it teleports, it\u2019s also invulnerable, so you just have to wait for it to finish. It constantly fires <strong>ghostly blasts<\/strong> that slowly move around the room in circles, trying to hit you. These don\u2019t hit hard, but they can add up.<\/p>\n<p>After Rathma\u2019s Golem teleports, it will also likely summon a trio of ghostly skeletons that swing a scythe after <strong>dashing across the room<\/strong>. You\u2019ll see the circles first, with a line aiming at which way they\u2019re going.

The Golem will create a crescent of bloody pools, and ghouls will rise from them, all dashing in a line to repeatedly attack. You can kill these before they get to you, or just move.
