Personnaly, i've done tons of Chaos run with a Pride Iron Golem and he never died. As soon as a minions gets close to the Oblivion Knight(Caster) they only cast Decrepify. Additionally, they dont always cast Life Tap. They also use Weaken, Amplify Damage and Lower Resist.

It worth the risk and if you see your Golem under Life Tap and a Monster is close to him, Teleport him away.

Also, Skeleton are much more faster than the Iron Golem. So they gets to the front line before your Golem, reducing the chance of getting hits.


I thought Lower Resist got patched out with IM?

hoto+spirit or hoto+darkforce
I prefer darkforce but that's just me

hoto is 3 all skills/40 fcr/40 res/15% mana regen
Hitting the fcr bp = faster corpse explosion = higher damage output, as well as moving between areas faster


you are always making really good points

thank you sir!

appreciate you

Insight, Bramble, Exile, etc. There is plenty of non optimal but fun options.

Harmony for the lulz?

don't max revive or mages
don't do chaos if you use iron golem

max skele/mastery
10-20 points in CE and amp
1 revive
1 summon resist

If you're not using a secondary damage skill like bone spear or poison nova you can dump the remainder of the points into golem mastery


1.Why can't you do chaos with iron holem? Iron maiden is not there anymore, or am i missing something

2. Why would you put remaining points into golem mastery and not mages (assuming with proper gear iron golem never dies anyways)? Unless iron golem get substantial damage boost from master, i am pretty extra mages with extra damage (consider infinity) will be better for damage output.

mages can shatter body, so you wont be able to use corpse explosion, which is your best damage output. There's a bug with the life tap curse that can be cast on your golem in chaos that will make him die easily

1. life tap causes your golem to take absurd amounts of damage

2. mages do no damage even when you max them.
taking the time to unsummon the cold mages negates any time you may have saved from using them

I'm 99% sure you can't make bow golems
if you don't use pride, then use insight or clay golem

And don't use exile like he said, the lifetap turns off your amp curse and time spent recursing is time not spent blowing up corpses. It's pointless.

ah yeah cold mages indeed is good point, never thought about that.

So the life tap bug only applies to iron golem, and no to, say, merc or skeles? never heard of this bug. That's sad as i wanted to make iron golem out of insight but now not sure anymore if i cannot do chaos

anyways, i have a hardcore merc, so i max CE and point extra points into bone walla to synergies with bone armor
