Golems can be summoned at Level 25 but there is a catch, you will need to prove yourself worthy first before this can happen.

Necromancer Golem Quest

To unlock the ability to summon Golems, you will need to complete a quest called Necromancer: Call of the Underworld.

This quest will become available once you reach Level 25 with a Necromancer and will allow you to unlock the ability to summon Golems.

After following the quest and completing all of the objectives, the ability to unlock Golems will now be yours to use.

How To Summon Golem?

To summon a Golem, all you need to do is add the Golem skill, which will now be available among your other skills.

The moment you place the Skill into a Skill Slot, a Golem will be summoned and you can reactivate the skill to cause it to use its ability.

Removing the Golem skill from your Skill Bar will cause the Golem to crumble as it can only be summoned if the ability is equipped.
