All Praetorian Golem locations in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact 4.6 has introduced a new type of enemy group called the Praetorian Golem, which can be found in Faded Castle and the ancient civilization of Remuria. You can defeat them to obtain a few materials, such as Ruined Hilt, Splintered Hilt, and Still-Smoldering Hilt. These items are required to level up Arlecchino's signature weapon, Crimson Moon's Semblance.

This article lists all the Praetorian Golem locations in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact: All Praetorian Golem locations in Fontaine

Before we start, it is important to note that the following locations can only be accessed after starting The Shadow Over Petrichor World Quest in Genshin Impact. Doing so will remove the seal and open the path to the underwater Faded Castle.

Tips to defeat Praetorian Golem in Genshin Impact

Use a Geo unit to break its shield (Image via HoYoverse)

Before you engage in a battle against one of the Praetorian Golem, it is important to note that they can summon a Geo shield, which increases their damage resistance. While you can use brute force to defeat them, it ends up taking a lot of time. Therefore, bringing a Geo unit is highly recommended since it can break the shield easily.

Zhongli is one of the best characters to use against Praetorian Golem since his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst can effectively reduce the mob's shield health.

A Praetorian Golem NPC in Petrichor

You can also find one Praetorian Golem in Petrichor near the entrance of Faded Castle. However, you cannot engage it in a battle since it is an NPC/enemy in The Shadow Over Petrichor World Quest. It will also not drop any materials.
