Unlocking Golem Summoning in Diablo 4

If Necromancer is your preferred class in Diablo 4, you can rely on the golem to support you in battles. However, you must complete a quest named 'Call of the Underworld' to acquire the ability to summon them. Level 25 must be reached for this quest to appear.

You can navigate to the Shrine of Rathma, located in the Fractured Peaks region, near a waypoint named Menestad. Interacting with Maltorius is part of this quest. Your prime objective is to collect 12 Unbroken Bones, which can be obtained by slaying foes in the area.

After collecting the bones, you can head back to Maltorius, upon which you are assigned a new objective that involves heading to a cave. Gear up, as you will face more adversaries once you interact with another shrine within the cave.

You can resort to the following process to equip the golem first:

• You can bring up the inventory/character menu.
• Navigate to the Abilities tab (the final tab) on this menu.
• Press the left stick (L3 on PlayStation), opening a pop-up menu on the left.
• You can spot the Golem ability within this menu and assign it to the ability bar (by pressing X on the PlayStation controller) at the bottom of the screen.

Furthermore, there are three golem types: Blood, Bone, and Iron. Each type has a unique strength that you can leverage in battles. They also have some bonus stats and buffs, making it enticing to experiment with each.

You can make a note of the following characteristics of each golem type:

• Blood: Ideal for draining life from foes, which grants a healing effect.
• Bone: It can taunt the surrounding enemies.
• Iron: Potent in unleashing a rush attack and stunning adversaries impacted by its slam attack move.
