Learn how to beat Goliath in Dead Rails with this step-by-step guide. Explore the best ways to take him down without wasting ammo.
Dead Rails introduced a new and first miniboss: Goliath, a green, Hulk-like zombie that has about 3000 HP and does about 20 damage per hit, armed with a modified cannon. He deals high melee damage, but despite wielding a cannon, Goliath does not actually fire it. This means you should treat him like a buffed zombie.
To fight Goliath, you’ll need to visit a location called Stillwater Prison. Make sure to check our Stillwater Prison Guide. It usually spawns on the left side of the road while you’re traveling.
Inside the prison, you’ll see two main sections:
- Min Security: Check this area for loot like Snake Oil and other useful items.
- Max Security: You can climb up the walls here and access a nearby tower.
Before triggering the boss, make sure you’ve cleared out the inmates and guards. They’ll keep spawning for a couple of minutes, so bring enough ammo. Aim for their chests instead of their heads to save bullets; your shots will pierce through their armor better that way.
How To Summon Goliath in Dead Rails Roblox
In the center of the prison, there’s a glowing sword, Excalibur. Once you start pulling it from the ground, a boss named Goliath will spawn. He’ll blast through the wall and come straight at you with a cannon in hand.
He moves at about the same speed as you, so don’t panic. You can backpedal to stay out of range or lure him into the prison, where he tends to get stuck in corners and walls.
Best Strategy To Beat Goliath in Dead Rails
Here’s what works best:
- Lure him inside the prison. He’s more likely to get stuck, giving you time to heal or switch weapons.
- Use the tower or upper platforms. You can climb up and stay out of reach.
- Use the sword. Once you fully pull Excalibur, it becomes one of the strongest weapons in the game. It even has a 20% chance to strike lightning on hit.
- Avoid using explosives. Gunpowder barrels don’t do much damage, and you might end up hurting yourself.
Even with just one bottle of Snake Oil, you can outrun him. Just don’t get caught in close quarters, or he’ll deal massive damage fast.
More Tips
- Don’t start the boss fight until the area is clear.
- Grab Snake Oil from the cells to help with stamina.
- If Goliath gets stuck, take advantage and deal damage safely.
- Watch out, he can sometimes climb up after you.
With the right setup and timing, Goliath isn’t that hard to beat. And once you get Excalibur, the rest of the game gets a whole lot easier.
