{{U|=While many mages spend their lives devoted to studying the transmutation of base metals into gold, the Necromancers have always had a somewhat different approach to transforming metals. Through complicated arcane rituals and great mental concentration, a Necromancer can summon forth a Golem from common base metals. The construct takes on the properties of the original source material, including any magical effects or other properties the original metal might have possessed.}}

**[[Prevent Monster Heal]]
*Off-weapon +% Damage from any source (including Fire Golem synergy bonus) applies to the sum of any weapon damage and base damage. [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/114831-ig-quick-q/&do=findComment&comment=1430849]
*Translucent when made from an ethereal armor or weapon.

*Stats are set at point of casting.
*Golem Mastery and Summon Resist apply.
*+% Life from [[Battle Orders]] and [[Oak Sage]] is applied after +% life from Golem Mastery.
*Iron Golem thorns only applies to itself and is always overridden by [[Thorns]], even if the Iron Golem skill level is higher or Iron Golem thorns returns more damage. When Thorns is no longer applied, Iron Golem loses its own thorns as well. [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/120563-iron-golem-thorns-question/&do=findComment&comment=1493186]
* D2R: caster's [[Physical Immunity Sundered]], [[Magic Immunity Sundered]], [[Fire Immunity Sundered]], [[Lightning Immunity Sundered]], [[Cold Immunity Sundered]] and [[Poison Immunity Sundered]] are applied.
*Summoned again in a new game if Necromancer has at least one skill point invested or a skill bonus. Stats are based on skill bonuses applied at the beginning of the game.
*Can open doors.
*Cannot be put into [[hit recovery]] or [[Knockback|knocked back]].
