'''Mechanics'''
 +
 
 +
Goliath Tanks will only sustain significant damage if one of their thrust engines is destroyed. Each tank possesses four engines, each of which is located on a corner of the main body of the tank. Although it is possible to destroy a Goliath without destroying all four of its engines, it is highly impractical. Goliaths are best fought from a distance as they possess a wide array of highly-damaging abilities designed to discourage close-quarters engagements. When engaging a distant target, the only method of attack available to a Goliath is its main cannon. The cannon must charge before each shot, giving players time to move behind cover; doing so will reset any accumulated charge.

*[[File: Check mark icon1.png|25px]] This boss will consume an active [[Three of Coins]].
 +
 
 +
===Mechanics===
 +
 
 +
This encounter features no unique mechanics; the boss may be damaged at any time with any weapon or ability. Adds (additional enemies) will enter the arena through the doors located on either side each time the boss' HP is reduced by 10%. Note that if a sufficient number of enemies are present when the boss' HP falls to the next increment of 10%, no additional adds will be summoned until the existing enemies have been eliminated. The boss has access to three attacks:
 +
 
 +
*'''Missile Volley''' - This attack lobs a volley of homing missiles toward the nearest player who has a clear line of sight to the boss.
 +
**If the player who is targeted happens to be a [[Nightstalker]], he or she can use [[Shadestep]] to break the missiles' tracking.
 +
*'''Gatling Gun''' - This is a concentrated attack similar to an Ogre's gaze.
 +
**If the targeted player moves behind cover, the boss will continue to fire at the player's last known location for several (5 - 15) seconds.
 +
*'''Stomp''' - This is the standard melee attack shared by all enemies in the Colossus family.
 +
**This is a radial area-of-effect attack centered on the boss and is triggered when a player gets too close. Damage inflicted varies with proximity to the boss.
