Changes: Steel golem

Latest revision as of 23:11, 9 January 2023

Steel golems are a golem variant created by Paragon Caridin. They are made entirely of steel and are presumably stronger than their stone golem counterparts.

Involvement[]

Dragon Age: Origins[]

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Origins.

As steel golems are all but wiped out, Paragon Caridin is one of the last remaining. Caridin is able to help Shale remember some of her past, as well as being the person to side with if you want the Anvil of the Void to be destroyed.

Inside the South Wing of Bann Franderel's Estate, during the quest the Tears of Andraste, two steel golems in a secret room of the cellar are guarding the Tears of Andraste. They remain inactive unless someone steps over a Pressure Plate which will fill the room with poisonous gas and activate the two golems.

If the Warden chooses to help Branka and saves the Anvil of the Void, four steel golems will be available as allies against the darkspawn in The Final Battle. They are counted as their own army but do not have their own emissary in the party camp, and as such resources cannot be donated to them. They are, however, perhaps the best army in the game in terms of damage and durability, and it is possible to overcome the entire siege of Denerim by only calling them in for aid. As allies, the golems possess the same abilities as their counterparts seen throughout the campaign and Shale.

Darkspawn Chronicles.

The dwarven armies in the Palace District are accompanied by several steel golems, indicating that the Anvil of the Void was preserved in this timeline; they are formidable opponents, requiring the aid of several well-armed darkspawn to bring down.

Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening[]

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening.

Three steel golems can be encountered at Hirol's Shrine in Kal'Hirol, and two more during the quest Shrine of Korth located in the Deep Roads of Vigil's Keep. A heavily-modified and dangerous steel golem known as the Inferno golem appears in the Lower Reaches of Kal'Hirol being controlled by the Lost. The Golems in Hirol's Shrine will remain inert unless the player disturbs the sarcophagus, which results in their hostile awakening. In the Shrine of Korth, they will only attack if the player steals from the altar.

Dragon Age: The Golems of Amgarrak[]

This section contains spoilers for:
Golems of Amgarrak.

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

The 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.

Strategy[]

When encountering the two steel golems in Origins which are part of the Slim Couldry line of quests, it is possible to bypass them without a fight. The golems are triggered by pressure plates within the room, spread out in a checkerboard pattern of five. Disable all five (which requires a rogue with the appropriate skill) and the golems do not activate—allowing the Warden to enter the vault and retrieve the Tears of Andraste untouched.

If you do desire to destroy the golems, note that they behave precisely as stone golems do, just with increased stats. They have greater armor, health, and damage, and triggering the traps will also fill the room with poison gas, dealing damage to all companions.

The most experience is gained from disarming four of the traps, then activating the fifth and killing the two golems. The traps are all deactivated (and cannot be disarmed) if even one is activated.

-Outside of Caridin two more Steel Golems exist in the first game, and can be found near the end-game during the "robbery" quests, they will be automatically hostile to you. And while they are weaker than Caridin is in a fight (due to the fact Caridin is a boss while these two are Lieutenants) they still carry the same attacks and can be rather annoying if they decide to fire off the lightning DOT/AOE that Steel Golems have.
