The Basics
•Location: Whispering Woods: This boss can be found in the Whispering Woods area, south of Mondstadt, specifically near the southern part of the region where the woods meet the cliffs.
•Appearance: The Golden Wolflord is a massive, golden-furred beast with a majestic mane, resembling a regal wolf or lion. It exudes an aura of power and is often seen atop rocky outcrops, emphasizing its dominance.
Combat Mechanics
•Phases: The fight with the Golden Wolflord includes distinct phases:
•Initial Phase: The Wolflord starts with an aura that must be depleted to deal direct damage.
•Elemental Shifts: After its initial aura is broken, it might shift its elemental focus, often between Anemo (Wind) and Electro energy.
•Summoning: At certain health thresholds, it might summon smaller creatures to aid in combat.
Attacks:
•Pounce: A powerful leap that can cover a significant distance, dealing physical damage upon landing.
•Wind Blades: Unleashes a series of wind blades that can track the player.
•Electro Charge: Charges up and releases a burst of Electro energy, damaging and potentially stunning players.
•Roar: Emits a mighty roar that can knock back players and deal Anemo damage.
Strategy 
•Elemental Weakness: While not as straightforward with a clear elemental weakness, the Wolflord can be susceptible to reactions like Electro-Charged (Hydro + Electro) or Overload (Pyro + Electro) when it shifts to Electro mode.
Avoiding Damage
•Use characters with good mobility or crowd control like Venti or Jean to avoid the wind blades or manage the battlefield when smaller creatures are summoned.
•Characters with high defense or shields, like Zhongli, can mitigate the damage from its powerful physical attacks.
DPS Focus
•When its aura is down, focusing on high DPS characters like Diluc or Eula can be effective. Its large size makes it an easy target for AoE attacks.
Elemental Reactions
•Given its shifts, having characters that can switch between Hydro and Pyro or Electro can be beneficial for triggering reactions.
•Healing and Shielding: With its mix of physical and elemental damage, having a versatile healer like Diona or Kokomi, who can heal and apply elemental effects, can be very useful.
Team Composition
•DPS: Characters like Keqing for Electro or Hu Tao for Pyro can deal significant damage.
•Supports: Characters like Fischl for consistent Electro application or Xingqiu for Hydro.
•Healer: Qiqi or Bennett for healing, with the latter also providing a Pyro resonance.
•Utility: Sucrose for Elemental Mastery boosts or Venti for crowd control if smaller enemies are summoned.
Rewards
•Defeating the Golden Wolflord grants:
•Primogems
•Hero's Wit
•Mystic Enhancement Ore
•Talent materials like "Teachings of Prosperity" or higher tiers for character ascensions.
Tips: 
•Environmental Awareness: Use the terrain to your advantage. The boss often fights on elevated platforms, which can be used to dodge its attacks.
•Elemental Mastery: Characters with high Elemental Mastery can benefit from the potential reactions, especially if the Wolflord shifts to Electro mode.
•Stagger: Physical damage can stagger the Wolflord, providing windows for uninterrupted attacks.
•Dodge Timing: Learn to anticipate its pounce and charge attacks; these are telegraphed but cover a lot of ground quickly.
The Golden Wolflord stands out for its majestic appearance and challenging combat mechanics, combining physical prowess with elemental shifts that require players to adapt their strategies on the fly. This makes it a favorite for players seeking a dynamic and engaging fight in Genshin Impact.
