Guardian golem

Useful Info

Guardian golems are constructs created by the spell Summon Guardian Golem. They are unable to attack, but they can shelter your summons from injuries, and it gains the Inner Flame status effect when severely damaged.

Tips & Tricks

• Guardian golems can improve the durability of your other summons in extended combat, saving you from having to re-summon as often. Just watch out for the explosion.
• Even if you don't have any other summons, a guardian golem can still serve to block oncoming monsters so you have a chance to get away.
• You can weaponize guardian golems -- let enemies attack it until it explodes, then fight anything that survived in the ensuing flames.

History

• In 0.31, guardian golems were removed, as Summon Guardian Golem was replaced by two spells, Martyr's Knell and Summon Blazeheart Golem.
• Prior to 0.27, guardian golems only had a 1/4 chance to get Inner Flame.
• Guardian golems were added with the Summon Guardian Golem spell in 0.14.
