Learn how to get a full stone loadout to beat Leshen in He is Coming and complete the Stone Cold challenge.
To conquer the Stone Cold Challenge in He is Coming, you’ll have to defeat Leshen with stone-tagged items. Such items include stone-tagged armor, weapons, and food. If you’re tagless or wood items, you’ll fail the run. It may feel like one of those absurd but impossible challenges, but it’s entirely beatable. With some easy and doable tactics and precautions, you can overcome this challenge.
So let’s get to defeating this abominable monster with our wits and determination.
How the Stone Cold Challenge Works in He Is Coming
You’ll have to equip a full loadout of gear tagged with Stone before starting the Leshen fight. This loadout includes your weapon, armored items, and all consumables in your inventory. You’ll have to make sure everything you have in your inventory is stone-tagged.
Stone Weapons
Granite Hammer
It has strong crowd control and works exceptionally with freeze. It is found in graves and shops. The weapon is ideal for early rock roasts.
Granite Lance
It is an epic lance that scales with armor. It needs strong food support to maintain its damage.
Ironstone Greatsword
This weapon is easy to find but is weak overall. You should use it for emergencies.
Mountain Cleaver
This mythic weapon scales from base armor. It is a near-perfect Leshen killer.
Ore Heart
It is a green weapon that gains damage from armor. The weapon works best with Cracked Whetstone.
Stoneslab Sword
It’s an epic sword that scales from Stoneslab Sandals. The sword works best with armor.
Optimal Builds That Work
Ore Heart Tank
Use Ore Heart, Cracked Whetstone, and stack up armor. You’ll have to outlast Leshen.
Sandals and Stoneslab
You’ll need to equip two IronStone sandals and use the Stoneslab Sword. You need to try to hit fast while scaling damage to defeat Leshen.
Mountain Cleaver Burst
You’ll need to equip two Rock Roasts. You are recommended to stack up armor, grab a cleaver, and hit Leshen more than 15 times.
Some Important Advice
Stack up Gold
Loose change, coin passives, and gold will help you. You can use that money to reroll shops and buy items.
Prioritize Merchants
Shops in He is Coming contain the best stone gear. Chests in the game won’t contain items you need.
Use Wishing Well Wisely
When you hit 20 gold, use chests that contain rare items or rerolls. This can help you finish your all-out stone build.
Search Graves
Some graves drop Granite/Stone items early. Search as many graves as you can to find stone gear.
That’s all you need to remember to beat Leshen. Having a full stone loadout around the Leshen boss fight might be difficult, but not unachievable.
