Golems are hulking man-shaped monsters made of clay bricks. This sums up most of their appearances with their face being the only other detail: a slit-like opening with two eyes glowing from the darkness.

Since the appearance of the first golem the species has solidified itself as a hefty force of physical might but one that lacks in resistance to spells. One of the most notable vulnerabilities of the golem is that of sleep-inducing abilities, an Achilles' heel that made the first golem easy to defeat and has since, for the most part, stuck with the monster as one of its more unfortunate qualities.

==={{DQMCH}}===
Golems do not appear until near the end of the game, acting as mechs piloted by [[platypunk]] members of the Plob within the Flying Clawtress and can also be piloted by the player once unmanned. They are potent monsters, capable of delivering charging punches and hitting their fists together to ward off opponents that are too close for comfort. If one is already being manned by a platypunk, it must be struck with three Elasto Blasts before the pilot will be forced to disembark. These 'liberated' golems, and ones left unattended, can only suffer another three attacks before they go inoperable and explode, regardless of whether the player is piloting them or they are unmanned. Since they are too big and heavy to be knocked into the air and carried around, a [[chimaera wing]] must be thrown at them in order to send them back to town.
The Golem is a three-star members of the [[Material family]] with a weight of 3. It naturally learns [[Save Power]], [[United Soul]] and [[Body Slam]]. Its in-game description reads "A giant formed out of the soil in order to protect people."


Golems can also be used in tank battles, though they act the same way as they do outside of these battles, meaning they do nothing more than stand idle until the player jumps in to command one, being somewhat disadvantageous since only two other crew members will be left free and even more disadvantageous if these remaining crew members are poor at handling the cannons. This aside, golems can be incredibly useful when it comes to sabotaging an enemy tank since their fist-clapping move can quickly break open the entryway of an enemy tank, and their charging punches can wreck a whole wall of machinery when positioned right and easily enable one to reach the enemy's engine when the time arrives, but they can still only deal with three attacks before being defeated. An exploding golem can damage the player both inside and outside of tank battles, so it is recommended to gain some distance when a golem has taken as much as it can.

Golems do not appear until near the end of the game, acting as mechs piloted by [[Platypunk]] members of the Plob within the Flying Clawtress and can also be piloted by the player once unmanned. They are potent {{MFamilies}}s, capable of delivering charging punches and hitting their fists together to ward off opponents that are too close for comfort. If one is already being manned by a [[Platypunk]], it must be struck with three Elasto Blasts before the pilot will be forced to disembark. These 'liberated' Golems, and ones left unattended, can only suffer another three attacks before they go inoperable and explode, regardless of whether the player is piloting them or they are unmanned. Since they are too big and heavy to be knocked into the air and carried around, a [[Chimaera wing]] must be thrown at them in order to send them back to town.

Golems can also be used in tank battles, though they act the same way as they do outside of these battles, meaning they do nothing more than stand idle until the player jumps in to command one, being somewhat disadvantageous since only two other crew members will be left free and even more disadvantageous if these remaining crew members are poor at handling the cannons. This aside, Golems can be incredibly useful when it comes to sabotaging an enemy tank since their fist-clapping move can quickly break open the entryway of an enemy tank, and their charging punches can wreck a whole wall of machinery when positioned right and easily enable one to reach the enemy's engine when the time arrives, but they can still only deal with three attacks before being defeated. An exploding Golem can damage the player both inside and outside of tank battles, so it is recommended to gain some distance when a Golem has taken as much as it can.

The '''stone golem''' (originally ''Stoneman'' and ''Rock Golem'') is a golem constructed of stone blocks instead of clay bricks.


While some games have had stone golems as being superior to their normal brethren, other titles have shown the stone golem as being weaker, though they still boast the strength and stamina of their relatives. They are especially prone to charging up power for increased strength to their already crushing blows.
==={{DQB}}===
{{Enemy
Like in the original {{Dragon Quest}}, the Golem is the first boss fought in the game. At the end of Chapter 1, the Golem attacks [[Cantlin]] and must be defeated. Regular enemy Golems after this point drop chunks of '''Golemite'''.
|float =  
====Strategy====
|name = Stone Golem
The player must use Cantlin Shields to deflect the Golem's attacks as it hurls boulders at the city. After about three times, the Golem will be enraged and begin spinning around in circles. When it stops, it is dizzy. This is the time to use a wrecking ball on it. The wrecking ball will blast it into pieces and take a chunk of its {{HP}} off. Then, the pieces reassemble and the Golem begins hurling boulders anew, repeating the cycle.

Latest revision as of 22:13, 15 January 2024

For the monster class in Dragon Quest VII, see Golem (vocation).

The Golem is a recurring Material monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in the first game as a boss, it has since appeared in several other installments of the series, primarily as a normal enemy.

Characteristics[edit]

Golems are hulking man-shaped monsters made of clay bricks. This sums up most of their appearances with their face being the only other detail: a slit-like opening with two eyes glowing from the darkness.

Since the appearance of the first Golem the species has solidified itself as a hefty force of physical might but one that lacks in resistance to spells. One of the most notable vulnerabilities of the Golem is that of Sleep-inducing abilities, an Achilles' heel that made the first Golem easy to defeat and has since, for the most part, stuck with the monster as one of its more unfortunate qualities.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest[edit]

The Golem guards at the outskirts of the town of Cantlin, and must be defeated before that town may be entered. It can be put to Sleep with the Faerie Flute to make the battle easier, though casting Snooze will never work.

The first reappearance of the Golem since it was introduced in the original game. Though they possess no notability in the game's story, they are among the easiest monsters to recruit and far and away one of the most powerful as well.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]

The Golem is encountered as a boss before entering The Tower. Later in the game, the Collum o' golem look-a-likes can be encountered as common enemies.

While normal Golems do not appear until later on in the story, the player can find a wandering one in the Maella Region that they can recruit for their monster team.

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime[edit]

Golems do not appear until near the end of the game, acting as mechs piloted by Platypunk members of the Plob within the Flying Clawtress and can also be piloted by the player once unmanned. They are potent monsters, capable of delivering charging punches and hitting their fists together to ward off opponents that are too close for comfort. If one is already being manned by a Platypunk, it must be struck with three Elasto Blasts before the pilot will be forced to disembark. These 'liberated' Golems, and ones left unattended, can only suffer another three attacks before they go inoperable and explode, regardless of whether the player is piloting them or they are unmanned. Since they are too big and heavy to be knocked into the air and carried around, a Chimaera wing must be thrown at them in order to send them back to town.

Golems can also be used in tank battles, though they act the same way as they do outside of these battles, meaning they do nothing more than stand idle until the player jumps in to command one, being somewhat disadvantageous since only two other crew members will be left free and even more disadvantageous if these remaining crew members are poor at handling the cannons. This aside, Golems can be incredibly useful when it comes to sabotaging an enemy tank since their fist-clapping move can quickly break open the entryway of an enemy tank, and their charging punches can wreck a whole wall of machinery when positioned right and easily enable one to reach the enemy's engine when the time arrives, but they can still only deal with three attacks before being defeated. An exploding Golem can damage the player both inside and outside of tank battles, so it is recommended to gain some distance when a Golem has taken as much as it can.

Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors[edit]

A Golem named Briquet is the boss of Galantyne Glades.

Dragon Quest Builders[edit]

Like in the original Dragon Quest, the Golem is the first boss fought in the game. At the end of Chapter 1, the Golem attacks Cantlin and must be defeated. Regular enemy Golems after this point drop chunks of Golemite.

Strategy[edit]

The player must use Cantlin Shields to deflect the Golem's attacks as it hurls boulders at the city. After about three times, the Golem will be enraged and begin spinning around in circles. When it stops, it is dizzy. This is the time to use a wrecking ball on it. The wrecking ball will blast it into pieces and take a chunk of its HP off. Then, the pieces reassemble and the Golem begins hurling boulders anew, repeating the cycle.
