Killing Bopen
Bopen is a very scary character in the fact that no one knows how to kill him both Virgo and Percy have shattered his skull but bopen didn't die there are many theories on what he is how to kill him depends on what he is so how do you think he can be killed or do you think he is invincible

Bopen has been claimed to be a God, but there's one slight problem with that. If he was, in fact, a Divine creature, then the Sandbolds should have not been able to freeze him in time during the Bopen's Crew campaign. As it Is stated on the Lascene card, Divine cannot be frozen In time. Bopen would not pretend to be frozen in time and let unknown kobolds walk around the area to inspect him and his crew. Bopen has strong magic, given that the Thunderdome couldn't push him out, but even that magic could not override time being frozen. And as I recall, before Bopen slew Virgo, the skeleton king said that he should have used Pyroblast.
This means one, crucial idea: Bopen cannot be killed by destroying his body.
Although then again, Bopen was probably sealed inside the Dundanborough Royal Bunker, with no-one left to betray (for ageless is a curse that locks the soul away). The attacking ageless were probably trying to free Bopen from the bunker.
All that vanishing gold in the treasury was just Bopen casting an epic form of Command The Dead.

Still seems to me like the best candidate. If this can kill even a divine, which Bopen MAY or MAY NOT be, this has to be one of the most sure*fire* ways to kill him. If not that, maybe something more along the lines of erase.
- It was saying something about a deal.
- It was described as being purple weird magic, similar to Bopen.
- It reforms it's "body" even after being smashed apart.
Does this mean it was a teaching tool? Similar to how Rob always designs early encounters to inform the players of the mechanics of the mid and late game bosses? If it is indeed teaching us something about Bopen. Why? What more is there? Because we have seen at least twice. Bopen's skull can be smashed to bits, and it will reform. Strangely, the golem was in a campaign that aired after the showdown with Virgo Sunsword. Are we missing something? Is there a trick so obvious we have all missed it?My thoughts exactly. I actually think that the "Golem" is the one casting the magic that makes Bopen. The idea is that the Golem uses the Gold, which we know is magic, in the vault to basically cast a continues spell that animates bones so he can have something like a puppet to act trough.
That would explain why Bopen can't be killed the normal way. When his bones get destroyed all that happens is that a puppet gets destroyed. The Purple Aura (Golem) in Dundanborough can then go ahead and just pick a new puppet.
That also explains why Bopen is so interested in Gold and brings it alone to the vault in Dundanborough. The Magic needs a constant supply of Gold to be kept up.
The Sword could be some sort of catalyst or antenna that allows the purple aura to focus on a specific area in the world.
If this was true, that would mean that bopen only exists until it fullfills it’s purpose, just like what the donation for the gold golem said.
Oh hell yeah he has a purpose! He's around to make US hate what we did.
uh guys
see that circular thing in the center of the gold golem
could that maybe
just maybe
be a ring
bum Bum BUUUUUUM!
When Bopen dies, he takes the person who killed him and uses their skull. So in theory it could be like a typical hero story- as the person who killed Bopen must destroy their skull as well so Bopen does not have a skull to take then. We do see that Bopen’s body can still work without a head, so he could just kill someone else and take their skull, but maybe his magic lets him live if the person who killed him is still alive. So the person who kills Bopen must stay dead. Bopen may come back if the person is revived by greater lay on hands, so it’s like an ultimate sacrifice thing.
Kinda like Voldemorts Horcruxes. But it won't be that simple.
It isn't his skull or any of his bones because he was described as taking bones from others, Virgo, the Dundinboroughs and Percy. It'll require some kind of legendary being like a God or Old God divine decision to kill him. His weakness is that he has no weakness
@bl1ndn3rd The problem there is that there are no small black ring on the Golem, as the poem implies. The Golem's 'belly button' is a coin on a red gem (coin?).
We really do need an explanation on the Golem's connection to Bopen, though.
