Bio
This article is about the post-Plantera boss. For the enemy in Granite Caves, see Granite Golem. For the rare, resilient enemy from the Snow biome, see Ice Golem. For the Hardmode enemy in the Cavern layer, see Rock Golem.

Spawn Conditions

Golem is summoned by using the Lihzahrd Power Cell ⚷ Interact on the Lihzahrd Altar, located in the final Jungle Temple chamber, while at least one Lihzahrd Power Cell is in the player's inventory. A Lihzahrd Power Cell is contained within each of the Jungle Temple's Lihzahrd Chests, and can be dropped rarely by Lihzahrds or Flying Snakes (1/50 (2%) chance). Golem spawns directly above the Altar. Plantera must have already been defeated at least once in the current world in order for Golem to spawn successfully. Otherwise, nothing will happen and the power cell will not be consumed. Because of this, to fight Golem in a brand new world, the player is required to kill Plantera, the three mechanical bosses, and the Wall of Flesh at least once.

Stratigies
• In some cases, the terrain surrounding the altar will cause Golem to get stuck when it spawns. It can attack with its fists and projectiles but will be unable to jump around. Players can also recreate this condition by placing blocks near the altar.
• It is possible to actuate Lihzahrd Bricks. By actuating the blocks below the Lihzahrd Altar, it can be picked up and placed in a different, possibly more suitable arena. This is only possible after Plantera has been defeated.
• On the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, and tModLoader version, blocks under the altar cannot be actuated.
• In Get Fixed Boi seed world, one may consider using Living Fire Blocks to light up the boss room since they will not be destroyed unlike Torches.
• An alternative would be to cover the whole room wall in White Paint and Illuminant Coating which won't be affected by the darkness.
