Diablo 4 how to summon Golem on PC, PS5, and Xbox

Diablo 4 is finally here for those who have opted for early access. The period will last a few days before the game launches on June 6 for everyone else. As expected, thousands of Diablo fans around the world have opted for the early access period, eager to get their hands on Blizzard’s latest entry and follow-up to the brilliant Diablo 3 after getting one final taster with the recent Server Slam.

While many of the mechanics will be familiar to those who have played the series before, there are still a few things to learn. And for newbies to the series, there are a number of mechanics that are worth mastering as soon as you can.

One such ability is summoning an undead Golem which can be tricky, but we’ll go through how to do it here. The Golem unlocks at ability 25 – so if you’re not at that level, then you won’t be able to summon it.

You’ll need to complete the Necromancer Call of the Underworld quest. It pops up as a priority quest once you’ve hit level 25. The quest marker is found northwest of Menestad in the Fractured Peaks region. The quest takes you to the Shrine of Rathma where you’ll meet Maltorius. He’ll task you with amassing 12 Unbroken Bones from nearby enemies. After returning the bones, you’re sent back out to find a vile artifact. Enter the cave marked on your map to find the Jar of Souls. Kill enemies to fill up the progress bar and complete the quest, unlocking the golem.

Remember, Golems can also only be summoned if you’re using the Necromancer class, which in our view, is one of the best classes in Diablo. There are three types of golems in the game, which we have listed below.

• Bone golems
• Iron golems
• Blood golems

How to summon the Golem in Diablo 4 on PC and console

The reason why it’s confusing is because the Golem does not actually show in your ‘Abilities’ in the main menu. However, you can access and summon a Golem through the game’s skill menu. This is just like you did if you played the open beta.

Press ‘S’ on your computer to bring up the sub menu / skill assignment menu. If you’re on console, be that Xbox or PlayStation, hover over the ability in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Providing you have unlocked Golems, you’ll see Golem in the bottom of the menu.

You then need to add it to your hotbar by dragging it to your active skill bar. It’s worth noting that the Golem has both an active and passive ability. In the passive state, you’ll be protected by a Golem that has 659 life that attacks for 143 damage. The Golem will shed corpses as it takes damage.

In the active ability, you’ll be able to make the Golem unstoppable. But you’ll be hit with a cooldown of a little under 15 seconds. In this state, the Golem will taunt nearby enemies and takes 30% reduced damage for the next six seconds.

That’s all you need to know about how to summon a Golem on Diablo 4. The Necromancer’s Book of the Dead is the Necromancer’s class mechanic. While you can summon skeletal warriors, skeletal mages, and Necromancer golems, this Book lets you customize them.

For instance, the basic warriors can be upgraded to heavy damage Skirmishers, protector Defenders, or scythe-wielding Reapers. Upgrades for your minions include additional health against physical attacks and bonus attack speed. Maximum life and damage reduction bonuses make your minions more durable in combat against physical damage.
