Golem Fist

Lihzahrd Temple drop and heavy piston impact

The Golem Fist is a launched melee weapon dropped by Golem inside the Jungle Temple with a 12.5% drop rate. When activated, it rockets a heavy stone fist attached to a sturdy chain directly toward the cursor before rapidly retracting. It inflicts 90 base melee damage alongside 12 knockback at Fast speed, delivering sharp impacts against incoming monsters.

High-knockback spacing and single-target control

With one of the highest base knockback ratings among Hardmode weapons, the Golem Fist excels at knocking heavy enemies backwards and keeping aggressive monsters at a safe distance. While it lacks the broad multi-target coverage of the Scourge of the Corruptor, its direct piston thrust delivers rapid single-target impact against tanky foes. Because the chain retracts instantly when striking tiles or targets, fighting in enclosed corridors drastically increases its attack rate. Pairing it with Beetle Scale Mail and Mechanical Glove maximizes physical impact. The best modifier is Godly.

Trivia

• Boasts 12 base knockback, repelling aggressive enemies with substantial force.
• Retracts faster if the launched stone fist impacts a solid block or enemy target.
