Towering titans of the frozen blizzard
Ice Golems are rare miniboss-tier constructs that awaken in the Snow biome during Hardmode Blizzards, which occur when rain falls over icy terrain. Stalking through heavy snowfall with broad strides, these giants command 4,000 health and 32 defense, dominating the frozen surface with devastating ranged assaults.
Dodging freeze beams and forging frost armor
Their eyes fire concentrated Frost Beams that inflict 60 damage in Classic and 120 in Expert, freezing players solid for several seconds. Conquering an Ice Golem always awards a Frost Core at a 100% rate, essential for forging hybrid melee-ranger Frost Armor, along with the Ice Feather at a 33.3% chance for crafting Frozen Wings.
Trivia
- Ice Golems only spawn while rain or blizzard conditions are active in the Snow biome.
- The Frost Beam fired by an Ice Golem can completely immobilize players via the Frozen debuff.
