Summoning

A Lihzahrd Power Cell activates the Lihzahrd Altar in the Jungle Temple's final chamber to summon Golem.^[3]

Behavior

Golem's components are a body, a head connected to it, and a fist on each arm.^[4] The body cannot be harmed until the head is destroyed, and the fight ends when the body is defeated.^[4]

Second form

Once the head is depleted, it detaches, becomes immune to damage, and hovers above the player while the body becomes the main target.^[5]

Enraged behavior

Leaving the Underground Jungle enrages Golem, making it leap more quickly and, when the head is under half health, shoot Eye Beams at a higher rate.^[6]
