The devs said a long time ago that he wasn't a miniboss, but was "something else " so I figure he's only valid to be described as scenery/an environmental addition, especially since he behaves in ways that enemies wouldn't by not proceeding to the exit.

I must have missed that. Thanks anyways!

One thing to note is that Catha's Hero Spell stun lasts half the duration for minibosses and bosses (not including the Twilight Golem, which really isn't a miniboss). I also have noticed that her pixies and her regular attacks never put minibosses and bosses to sleep, and this even includes the Golem. Only the Hero Spell works...

Well, that makes the Golem even weirder. Still quite sure it's not a miniboss, though. Cerberus is entirely unaffected by things that a Golem would normally be exposed to. It can still be teleported back, and most effect abilities still work on it.

I'm pretty sure the Golem is a normal (albeit larger than most) enemy, with an inherent resistance against insta-kills. IT might as well be in it's encyclopedia entry.

^^Mm, yes. I always considered the Golem's resistance to instakills as a passive ability, since it didn't really make sense for it to be a miniboss.

Considering that he can be teleported back by the Mages' passive ability, frozen by the Sorcerer's Stones, targeted by Hunter's Mark and Sylvan's Curse, and even put to sleep by Catha's Hero Spell, he's nothing special to be a mini-boss.

All enemies even bosses are effected by Catha's stun.

Lol, the Mages' teleport isn't a passive. It's an innate. A passive is when an ability is always, always active, while an innate ability is one that's always there by default.

True that. My bad.

Minibosses are the enemies that have the word miniboss in their description.

This argument ended nearly a month ago, by the way.

I know.

Instakills work on the Golem idk what your talking about. I can vise Regson hero spell on Golems and its instakills, and I I'm pretty sur ethics either a bug or a glitch but I used to be instakill bosses With Regsons Instakill

Reg'son's instakill is the exception to the rule, you cannot crimson sentence or eldritch doom golems, vindicator is the only instakill that works on them.
