Mobs › Echo Golem

Echo Golem

Building one

Place an Echo Totem, then place a Soul Block on top of it. The two blocks turn into an echo golem facing the same way as the totem’s carved face. This earns Some Assembly Required. A Drained Soul Block on a totem builds one too, once it recharges in the Swift during Thrive.

Dormant golems

Golems at arrival gates and Lullaby Circles, and one at the Echo Den, are asleep. They stand perfectly still and can’t be hurt. In the Swift they only wake during Thrive, the daytime tide: at other times using one tells you it sleeps until Thrive. Wake one by:

  • using it (right-click);
  • playing a note block within 10 blocks;
  • letting a Singer sing within 16 blocks.

Waking a golem earns Rise and Shine.

Awake golems

  • It stays near the closest player and walks over when you get more than about 8 blocks away.
  • It fights hostile mobs, but never creepers.
  • Every 20 seconds it sends out a soul pulse that gives every player within 8 blocks Regeneration for 6 seconds. In the Swift the tide changes this: during Thrive, golems pulse every 10 seconds, and during Endure they don’t pulse at all.
  • It dances whenever a note block plays nearby or a jukebox within 12 blocks is playing, which earns Golem Groove.
  • Near an unlit Deep Dark portal it sings along with your melody. In the Swift, four awake golems by a dark gate relight it on their own. See Getting there.
