The Runic Golem is a companion in The Golems of Amgarrak DLC. It is one of Caridin's golems, modified by the Amgarrak researchers.

Involvement[]


This section contains spoilers for:
Golems of Amgarrak.


A Runic Golem is found in the Deep Roads Grotto after the Warden-Commander and Jerrik Dace go through a few battles with some darkspawn. To activate the golem, the Warden must first find its control rod, which is located not too far from where the golem is resting, as part of The Runic Golem quest.

The golem is crushed by a falling boulder as Amgarrak collapses from structural damage after the death of the Harvester.

Upgrade locations[]

  • The first healing upgrade is in the north-westernmost room of Amgarrak.
  • The second healing upgrade and Tempest are in the northernmost room of Amgarrak, along with The Reaper's Cudgel. (Must be in the Green Dimension to attain.)
  • Flaming Weapons and the first attribute upgrade are in the Ancient Hall. (Must be in the Blue Dimension to attain.)
  • The second attribute upgrade is in the path above the Forge. (Must be in the Red Dimension to attain.)
Note: The healing upgrades are Group Heal and Revival, but you always get Group Heal first, regardless of the location.
Note: The attribute upgrades won't work if you import a level 35 Warden, since the golem will already be max level.

Notes[]

  • Runic Golem gets new powers each time a research note is found. Gathering all six notes unlocks the "A Secret Stitched Together" achievement.
  • Runic Golem is difficult to heal because it cannot use health poultices. The only means of healing it are injury kits and spells. If you are not a mage, make sure you have a proper amount of injury kits before starting.
  • Although Runic Golem has the same equipment slots as Shale, it can't equip any crystals.
