This article is about the enemy in Granite Caves. For other uses, see Golem (disambiguation).

The Granite Golem is a pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in Granite Caves. Every five seconds, it will shield itself from all attacks for two seconds[1], making it completely invulnerable. It can still deal damage to players during this invulnerable state should they walk into it.

Like the Granite Elemental, it will always drop a small amount of Granite Blocks. It can also rarely drop the Night Vision Helmet.

Notes

  • The Granite Golem enters its invulnerable state every five seconds; hitting it reduces the current cooldown period by 0.25 seconds. It can only enter the invulnerable state if it is standing on any kind of surface.[1]

Tips

  • The player will know they are near a Granite Cave if they are able to hear the grunts the Granite Golem occasionally emits.
  • Granite Golems can be summoned by activating a Granite Golem Statue with Wire. This can be a very useful way of farming them for Geodes, which drop gems, and the Night Vision Helmet, which sells for 1 GC each.

Trivia

  • Until 1.3.5, enemies had an unused internal name. The Granite Golem's name was Grolem[2], a portmanteau of granite and golem, in similar style to the Granite Elemental's Grelimental.
  • In Jewish folklore, a golem (/ˈɡoʊləm/, GOH-ləm; Hebrew: גולם‎) is an animated anthropomorphic being that is created entirely from inanimate matter (usually clay or mud). The word was used to mean an amorphous, unformed material in Psalms and medieval writing.
  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Granite Golem: "Strong are the magicked spirits which inhabit the granite masses deep below, this type in particular taking on a humanoid shape."

History

  • Desktop 1.3.5: Changed inconsistent banner name from "Grolem Banner" to "Granite Golem Banner".
