How to beat GOLEM

Hi welcome to how to beat GOLEM you can kinda call this endgame.... so yeah we are soon at the end like i said last time
*if you wanna battle duke fishron first then do that*





how to spawn golem
Golem is one of the four bosses added in 1.2. It is summoned by inserting a Lihzahrd Power Cell (which is dropped from Lihzahrds and found in Lihzahrd Chests) into a Lihzahrd Altar, though only after Plantera has been defeated in the world.


Location
The Lihzahrd Altar used to summon Golem is located in the Lihzahrd Jungle Temple, which can be unlocked using the Temple Key which drops from Plantera. However, if the player has a Picksaw from a previous fight with Golem, they can move the altar to another location to fight the boss wherever they like.




Battle Info
Regardless of which phase the battle is in, Golem will always shoot ricocheting fireballs which are unaffected by gravity and jump around the area in an attempt to crush the player.

Stage 1
Golem's head (16000 Heart) and fists (7000 Heart each) will take damage during this phase.
The fist closest to the player will launch at their current location at a speed which scales up as the fist loses HP. The fists will instantly retract when they take any kind of damage, but will go through any walls that a player is hiding behind.
Once the head is at half health, it will start shooting lasers at the player. It will fire one laser directly at the player at regular intervals. The time between lasers will shorten as the head takes more damage.
Stage 2
When the head's health is completely depleted, it will become invulnerable and detach from the main body. Any remaining fists will still function, and the body (9000 Heart) will become vulnerable to damage.
If the fists are still alive, they will launch at the player as in stage 1, but both will be able to target the player at once regardless of which side of the boss the player is standing on.
The detached head will float above Golem firing two yellow lasers and spitting fireballs at the player. The lasers and fireballs will shoot faster as the main body's health depletes.

Strategies
One of the easiest ways to beat the boss is to make a box that he can get trapped in and collect all the traps in the dungeon; set them up in the room somewhere where you can run back and forth and activate it with a button, avoiding the lasers whilst doing major damage with the various traps to swiftly dispatch the boss.
Hang with a hook on one corner and shoot with Magnet Sphere and wear full Spectre Armor to resist damage caused by fireballs.
Build a box around you and use something such as a Death Sickle or a Chlorophyte Partisan to damage him, although you will still take damage from his lasers.
Wear at least a Turtle Scale Mail and Chlorophyte Armor, and use a strong weapon to get it down to its Eye-Laser form. Once there, use about 250 Heart Arrows along with a Chlorophyte Shotbow, so that it cannot hit you. You cannot prevent it from attacking you in its final form, though, so use a strong ranged weapon at the end to dodge easier.(MOBILE ONLY)
Fill the roof of Golem's chamber with Spiky ball traps. Connect the Spiky ball traps with wire, and connect the wire to a 5 second timer. Once you have summoned the boss, turn on your 5 second timer and watch Golem get destroyed. To make the fight faster, just use any ranged weapon of your choice.
Make a box so that there are only some spaces in it's fist's sides. For that, you need a Piranha Gun. The gun will hit him even when he transforms, so you only need to dodge. To make it easier, if you have Neptune's Shell or Moon Shell, you just need to flood the room (Just dig a water deposit, they are common in the jungle). In merfolk form, Golem will be slowed down and you will be able to swim like you did have infinite flight. (Tested only with Beetle Armor, not sure with other types of armors.)
Use a Bunny Cannons and Explosive Bunnies to quickly kill Golem as the Bunny Cannon can constantly be fired and it causes around 350 base damage.
Wear full Turtle Armor and use Vampire Knives as you will heal to full before he can damage you and the knives shoot about 5-6 knives on average and shoot really fast along with the turtle armor reflective damage and dmg boost will allow you to solo this boss anywhere.
A way to do the above strategy and barely take any damage is to make a small area in the ceiling so Golem's head can fit in and have a separate hole with platforms as the floor. First, use any kind of Grappling Hook and grapple to the first hole and hold down the attack button with Vampire Knives in your hand (Aim down). It is recommended but not required to stay on the bottom and attack Golem's fists first. When Golem goes to his second form, exit the first hole and go to the second hole so Golem's head will get stuck in the first hole and won't do any melee damage to you and his fireballs won't either. When in the second hole, just camp there and keep firing the Vampire Knives. The only damage you will take here is Golem's Eye Lasers but the healing effect of the Vampire Knives will regenerate your health faster than the Lasers can damage it. After trying this strategy out it may be noticeable that his second stage is easier to defeat than defeating Golem in his first stage. As said from the above strategy, this is very easy (disregarding getting the Vampire Knives) to defeat Golem and you can easily solo him anywhere.
An easy way to win is to walk in the hall way and get him stuck jumping up and down, by doing this your only threat is the enemies spawning in the hall and his lasers.

Notes

the fireballs he shoots will bounce repeatedly in straight lines, originally being aimed directly at your character. You can use the fireballs as a dodge practice, so you can get better at dodging his fireballs and other projectiles as you practice.



The lasers that Golem shoots have a very high unit speed making them incredibly hard to dodge unless you are moving directly perpendicular to their original direction. The use of Asphalt would be a good idea so you will be dodging them really fast or the use of Master Ninja Gear will allow you to dash and it will have a small chance for the lasers not to damage you.


He will temporarily stop shooting lasers when transitioning to the second stage of the battle, until his health gets low again. A player can trap him and get a breather from the battle to regenerate and recover potion cooldown.


Golem is one of the few bosses that is slowed down underwater. This makes them much easier to fight when being merfolk and filling the chamber with water, because not only does the water slow Golem down, it also speeds the player up when becoming a merfolk.
