Beast of Reincarnation contains 34 Elite Golems. Defeating all Elite Golems is required for the trophy/achievement Wandering Duelist. Elite Golems are minibosses you must defeat in combat. They are found throughout each region, sometimes along the story path but mostly in side areas guarding extra materials or collectibles.
Nothing is missable, you can still find everything after the story in free-roam before entering New Game+.
Elite Golems are marked on the map with an “ELITE ENEMY” icon when you are nearby, and they also get marked when speaking to a Keeper Golem. This icon disappears once they have been defeated. Note that Elite Malefacts are marked with the same icon, but aren’t required for Wandering Duelist.
Collectibles Overview:
Elite Golems are listed in order that they appear by region while progressing through the game. Note that some Elite Golems don’t seem to be counted toward this requirement (likely ones that are required to be defeated during story progression) so these are listed up to the point where the trophy/achievement should unlock during progression.
