It's a huge design flaw to have people pop out of the golden golems when the creature dies because one of the best pyro spells is greater chaos fireball which has lingering damage. I had no idea why I couldn't find Dusk, which means no crown of dusk this playthrough and no DLC vendor/story since Dusk was the main NPC for the DLC story. Similar thing with golem later in the game in Duke Archive and onion knight, but at least I knew not to use the spell any more. But the game didn't have much indication of what was going on, so if I hadn't googled why I couldn't find Dusk then I would have never known.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
