Talk:Golem

Summoning Requirements? -- So I'm at the Lihzahrd Altar, with several (five) Lihzahrd Power Cells. But Golem does not appear. [ie I kill Wall of Flesh in (v1.2) World 1 (Hardmode begins). Kill Plantera in World 1, get Temple Key. Go to newly created (v1.2) World 2, which is still in pre-Hardmode, in order to not have to deal with Hardmode-only mobs. Enter Lihzahrd Dungeon, arrive at Lihzahrd Altar. Golem does not appear when Lihzahrd Power Cells are placed on the Altar.]

Is it absolutely (confirmed) necessary: A) to have the world be in Hardmode (Wall of Flesh beaten) AND B) to beat Plantera in the SAME world in order to trigger a flag fight the Golem? -- I don't know what the issue is on your end. I have taken a Lihzahrd Altar and power cells to a pre-hardmode world with no defeated Plantera and gotten the Golem to spawn just fine. I think the altar and the power cells are literally the only requirements. Are you trying to use the cells on the altar? What you're actually supposed to do is right click on the altar.

new Easiest boss
1 quick note, but i think since the whole deal about the golem being really easy to defeat, perhaps there should be a moving of "this is considered the easiest hardmorde boss" from the destroyer to this page. just a suggestion, if you disagree, please give me a reason, because I cant find any within myself.

(BTW im new to this whole wiki thing, so im probably doing this wrong)


 * I understand why you think he's easy, but I think it depends on where he spawns. I could see him being difficult, but I've yet to play a game where he spawns in the open.

Shotbow vs. Megashark
Maybe it's just me, but the Chlorophyte Shotbow seems to destroy the Golem faster than the Megashark, both with the same modifiers and using venom ammunition. Can anyone confirm this?
 * Try the DPS Meter or time it. Also, you can use four tildes to sign your comment (~). Mind296 (talk) 18:15, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Trivia
"The insignia on Golem's chest is also found on several other Jungle Temple themed items, such as the Heat Ray." I don't see the star insignia on the Heat Ray, can someone clarify this please? Thanks! Mind296 (talk) 18:15, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Gender Descriptor
This article frequently refers to Golem as "he", is this correct or should we use "it" like most other bosses? Mind296 (talk) 18:15, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

For any of you that are having problems with summoning Golem, you have to be in a Hardmode, Post-Plantera world. Otherwise, it is a bug.
