    Unlike Necromancer’s other minions, you need to summon Golems manually by activating its skill. You need to assign the skull to the hotbar by following the steps below:

  • Head over to the Abilities section.
  • Open Skill Assignment and choose the Summon Golem skill.

    • As we mentioned earlier, the Golems act as tanks and are a really great addition to Necromancer’s arsenal.

    How many types of Necromancer Golems are there in Diablo 4?

    There are three types of Golems for the Necromancer Class in Diablo 4:

    • Bone
    • Blood
    • Iron

    The level cap in the betas was 25, which means only the Bone types were available. Once the game gets released, you can upgrade them to the Blood and Iron types after reaching Levels 28 and 32, respectively. You can choose the version of the Golem to summon from the Book of the Dead.

    Diablo 4 Necromancer Golems: Abilities and upgrades

    Necromancer’s Book of the Dead reveals two abilities of Golems in Diablo 4:

    • Active ability: Makes them Unstoppable and Taunts enemies in near proximity. Also takes 30% less damage for the next six seconds when this ability is active.
    • Passive ability: The passive ability highlights the creature’s health as it comes with 659 Life and attacks for 35% of damage.

    Golems come with a 16-second cooldown and act as tanks, protecting the Necromancers from enemies.

    Apart from that, Golems have three upgrades in Diablo 4:

    • Each time your Bone Golem takes up to 20% of its Maximum Life as damage, it sheds a corpse.
    • Your Bone Golem gains 10% Maximum Life and the Thorns inherited from you increase from 30% to 50%.
    • Just like Skeletal Mages and Warriors, you can sacrifice your Golems for a 10% gain in Attack Speed but comes at the cost of losing the ability to summon them for the rest of the journey.

    As a result, Golems, one of the Summoning abilities of the Necromancer Class makes it exceptionally good when the fights get intense in Diablo 4.

    So, there you have it — that’s everything you need to know about Golems in Diablo 4. If you want to know about more class builds and the game in general, be sure to check our other guides and content:
