If you’re playing as a Necromancer in Diablo IV, the Golem is one of your most powerful companions. Unlike basic skeletons, the Golem acts as a durable frontline unit that can absorb damage, control enemies, and support your overall build.
However, many players get confused because the Golem is not available from the start and doesn’t work the same way as other summons. Unlocking and using it requires a specific quest and understanding how the skill system works.
Once you know the steps, summoning your Golem becomes a core part of Necromancer gameplay.
1. Unlocking the Golem Quest
You cannot summon a Golem early in the game.
The ability unlocks at level 25, when a priority quest becomes available for Necromancers. This quest introduces you to the process of binding and controlling a Golem.
To begin:
-
Reach level 25
-
Open your quest log
-
Look for the Necromancer-specific quest
Completing this quest is mandatory before you can use any type of Golem.
2. Completing the “Call of the Underworld” Quest
The quest required to unlock the Golem is called Call of the Underworld.
During this quest, you will:
-
Travel to a specific ritual location
-
Collect quest-related items
-
Perform a summoning ritual
After completing the ritual, you gain access to the Golem system permanently.
This is a one-time unlock and applies to your character going forward.
3. How to Equip the Golem Skill
After unlocking, the Golem does not automatically appear—you need to equip the skill.
To do this:
-
Open your skill menu
-
Assign the Golem ability to your action bar
Once equipped, you can summon the Golem at any time, similar to other abilities.
If the skill is not on your bar, the Golem will not be active.
4. How Golem Summoning Works
The Golem behaves differently from skeleton summons.
Instead of repeatedly summoning it, you:
-
Summon it once
-
It remains active until destroyed
If the Golem dies, you can resummon it using the same skill.
The ability also includes an active command, allowing you to direct the Golem to perform a special action, such as attacking a specific target or using a unique ability.
This makes it both a passive and active tool in combat.
5. Types of Golems and Their Roles
As you progress, you unlock different types of Golems.
Each type has a unique role:
-
Bone Golem: Focuses on durability and taunting enemies
-
Blood Golem: Absorbs damage and can heal you
-
Iron Golem: Deals more damage and applies crowd control
You can choose which Golem to use based on your build and playstyle.
Switching between them allows for flexibility depending on the situation.
6. Upgrading and Customizing Your Golem
The Golem becomes stronger through upgrades in the skill tree.
You can enhance:
-
Its survivability
-
Its damage output
-
Its special ability effects
These upgrades allow you to tailor the Golem to your build, whether you want a tank, support unit, or damage dealer.
Proper customization makes a noticeable difference in how effective your Golem is in combat.
7. When to Use the Golem Effectively
The Golem is most useful in situations where you need control and durability.
It can:
-
Draw enemy attention away from you
-
Hold bosses or elite enemies in place
-
Provide consistent support in long fights
Using its active ability at the right moment can significantly impact the outcome of a fight.
As your build becomes more refined, the Golem becomes a key part of your overall strategy rather than just an extra summon.
Have you unlocked your Golem yet, or are you still working toward level 25 on your Necromancer?
