__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Gold Titan''' was the third major boss to be added into the game and is the final boss in [[Golden Mode|Golden]] mode, which is exclusive to [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode.

The '''Gold Titan''' walks quite slowly, slower than the [[Chained Boss]], but it has a high amount of health. It is immune to most splash damage and is a [[Boss]] enemy, granting it multiple full or partial stalling immunities and some damage immunities.

Its sword is used to stun towers. With this sword it can stab the ground which would stun all towers in the nearby vicinity. It can spawn 3-5 [[24 Karat]]s at the start of the map, meaning that you need towers to tackle these enemies. The enemy can rain golden fists from the sky as well, making an explosion upon landing, solidifying towers. It could also smash the ground in one direction, solidifying all towers in that direction, though this no longer happens in [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode.

==Appearance==
The '''Gold Titan''' is made of golden blocks to create a robot-type [[Enemies|enemy]]. In its right hand, it wields a golden sword. It has a single rectangular eye in the middle of its head. It is much taller than most enemies. A golden aura pulsates out of its head.

==Strategy==
*When using any of its attacks, the '''Gold Titan''' will become immobile. You should use that to your advantage.
**If your towers are crystallized, you can sell them and replace them, if you want to.
*Most splash damage towers, like the [[Rocketeer]], [[Mortar]] and [[Demoman]], are useless against the '''Gold Titan''' as they will deal no damage towards the '''Gold Titan''' and its summons.
**There are still some sources of splash damage that can damage them. These include the [[Paintballer]], [[Hallow Punk]], [[Grenade]], [[AirStrike]] and [[Nuke]].
**Sell them and replace them with high DPS towers such as the [[Pursuit]], [[Turret]] or [[Accelerator]].
**Some towers, like the [[Ranger]] and [[Pursuit]], despite dealing splash damage, are useful against the '''Gold Titan''' as they can deal non-splash damage.
*The [[Commander]] and [[DJ Booth]] can help massively as they can boost the DPS of your towers.
*Due to it being a [[Boss]] enemy, many forms of stalling are ineffective against it.
**It cannot be frozen, but it can still be chilled by freezing towers.
**It is only slowed down by stuns instead of being stunned.
**Knockback, [[DJ Booth]] slowdown, [[Harvester]] slowdown and [[Toxic Gunner]] slowdown are completely unable to slow it down.
**It also cannot be damaged by the [[Nuke]]'s fallout damage.

==Trivia==
*This was the third major boss to be added to the game, though if you count the [[Swordmaster]] as a major boss, this was the fourth to be added.
*''Gilded Rain'' appears to rain down golden fists with a diamond shaped eye on them. This is weird considering that the '''Gold Titan''' appears to have no visible fingers.
*The '''Gold Titan''' is a possible reference to [[w:c:riskofrain2:Aurelionite|Aurelionite]] from ''Risk of Rain 2''.
*A dead '''Gold Titan''' can be seen lying on the ground in [[Gilded Path]], with its sword next to it, likely representing the removal of [[Golden Mode|Golden]] mode.
