Stonework sentinels of the rocky caverns
Rock Golems are hulking elemental constructs sculpted from solid stone that pace the Cavern layer. Marching with heavy steps across underground ravines, they withstand significant punishment using their 1,000 health and 35 defense. When players remain at range, they pick up jagged boulders and fling them forward across uneven floors.
Dodging tumbling boulders and collecting stone helms
A direct hit from a thrown boulder or melee collision deals 85 contact damage in Classic and 170 in Expert, with boulders bouncing unpredictably across uneven cave floors. Defeating a Rock Golem yields Stone Blocks at a 100% rate in stacks of 10–20, along with the Rock Golem Head vanity helm at a 33.3% chance to customize player appearance.
Trivia
- Boulders thrown by Rock Golems bounce several times along sloped ground before shattering.
- Rock Golems are immune to the Poisoned and Bleeding debuffs.
