Attacks

Golem's main body cannot move through blocks, but its fist and laser attacks can. Its stone head can also travel through blocks once it detaches in the second stage.

First stage

The Golem will shoot ricocheting fireballs, attack with its fists that extend from chains, and jump around. These increase in frequency as each part takes more damage: When the fists are damaged, they will attack more often; when the head is damaged, the Golem jumps and shoots more often. Golem's fists can travel through blocks, but have limited range, and will also retract immediately upon being hit with any weapon.

• When the head falls below half health (8000), all previous attacks continue, but the head will begin to fire lasers that can travel through blocks. It fires more rapidly as it takes more damage.

Second stage

When the head has taken full damage, the fist and laser attacks stop, and its stone head detaches to reveal its "true" mechanical head. The stone head flies around with increased speed, becoming invulnerable to attacks, and traveling through blocks. The true head then becomes available to target, with 9,000 health, and must be attacked to defeat Golem.

• When the true head falls below half health (4500),the flying stone head will again begin firing lasers that travel through blocks while flying around. It fires more rapidly as it takes more damage.

Notes

• The Golem can only be summoned in a world where Plantera has been defeated. Attempting to summon it in a world where Plantera has not yet been defeated will fail, and a Lihzahrd Power Cell will not be consumed from your inventory.
• In order to use a Lihzahrd Power Cell on PC, you must right-click the altar. Holding a Power Cell and left-clicking will do nothing.
• Like most bosses, Golem will despawn if the player travels too far away, including traveling back through the Lihzard Temple.
• In the mobile version it is possible to blow the door up and summon golem pre-plantera, even pre-hardmode. In the console version it is possible to summon golem pre-plantera by using the power cell when you're under the room's floor.

Tips

For more elaborate strategies on defeating Golem, including weapon and arena recommendations, see Guide:Golem strategies.

• When summoned, the Golem will spawn above the Lihzahrd Altar and fall. If you have already beaten the Golem, you can use the Picksaw to pick up the Lihzahrd Altar and move it to a more suitable arena.
• The Golem's fist attack will only fire at you when you are in the middle or to the same side as the fist. A fist will not cross the Golem to strike a player, even if the other fist has been destroyed.
• Another way to summon him is to farm Chaos Elementals for the Rod of Discord so you can teleport into the temple before defeating or fighting Plantera, but you can only get into the temple, yet still get the power cells without wasting a key to get in.

Trivia

• A "golem" was originally a being from Jewish folklore, created from mud or clay and brought to life through rituals in order to defend townspeople from attacks. The theme persists in stories and video games today.
