Fragment of a Golden Melody is a Genshin Impact character Ascension material used by Arlecchino and possibly other characters in the future. It's dropped by the Legatus Golem, an ancient statue that resides in the depths of Petrichor's Faded Castle.
Here's everything you need to know about how to access the Legatus Golem's lair and some tips on how to defeat it efficiently.
Where to find the Legatus Golem in Genshin Impact
The Legatus Golem is located in the Faded Castle, an area that won't show up on your World Map until you complete the World Quest called Canticles of Harmony - The Shadow Over Petrichor. The quest series automatically initiates when you enter Petrichor and will consist of multiple parts, but you only need to complete The Shadow Over Petrichor to be able to freely explore the Faded Castle.
Head to the leftmost Teleport Waypoint in the Faded Castle and go straight ahead until the path forks, as pictured above. Go down the staircase to enter the Exhibition Hall on the lowest floor of the castle.
From there, follow the path straight ahead, then glide down toward the clearing with a locked Chest and Teleport Waypoint. Enter the gate where the arrow is pointing in the screenshot above to immediately enter the Legatus Golem's lair. Don't forget to unlock the Teleport Waypoint to make it easier to get to the area in the future.
How to farm Fragment of a Golden Melody in Genshin Impact
The Legatus Golem is a Geo boss with a powerful shield but its battle mechanics aren't particularly gimmicky. You won't have to check for the day's Elemental Resonance like the Iniquitous Baptist or pick a specific form to fight like the "Icewind Suite," but you will need a Geo shield breaker in the team. I strongly recommend a character that can deal constant Geo DMG, like Ningguang, Navia, or Arataki Itto. I found Zhongli's shield-breaking capabilities to be insufficient due to his mostly Physical-based Normal Attacks.
The Legatus Golem starts out as a statue but will immediately move once it notices your presence. Your goal should be to get rid of its Geo shield so you can trigger other Elemental Reactions afterward. When the shield breaks, it won't stay broken for the rest of the battle—the boss will continue putting up new shields until it's defeated.
If you find shield breaking to be a bit tricky, watch out for Resonators, which look like small towers with their own HP bars. Destroying them will significantly deplete the Legatus Golem's shield and leave it immobile for a while, giving you a window of opportunity to barrage it with attacks.
