A Runic Golem is a companion in The Golems of Amgarrak DLC. It is one of Caridin's golems, modified by the Amgarrak researchers.

Involvement Edit

The golem is crushed by a falling boulder at the end of the DLC.

Notes Edit

• The Runic Golem gets new powers each time a research note is found. Gathering all 6 notes unlocks the A Secret Stitched Together achievement.
• The Runic Golem is difficult to heal because it cannot use health poultices. The only means of healing it are injury kits and spells. If you are not a mage, prepare a proper amount of injury kits before starting the DLC.
• Although the Runic Golem has the same equipment slots as Shale, it can't equip any crystals.

Trivia Edit

• The Runic Golem is the only companion who does not speak at all (excluding the darkspawn in The Darkspawn Chronicles).
• The golem has the body of a steel golem, yet its head is that of a stone golem.
