i just made my first iron golem and he didnt seem to get the aura.. did i mess up?

What item did you use to make it?

i figured it out i tried to put spirit into a polearm instead of insight. i did it again when i found another four socket polearm but caught myself before i turned it into a iron golem. SO i wasted a 4os thresher and a hel rune as well as 2 spirit sets... not the worst but very annoying

Try it again 3rd time is the lucky charm

You need to put the Amn rune in first to make a spirit in a polearm.
