The weapon to beat bonemass with works great on golems. as Tangoblue mentions:

BUT what you want is to parry and then pickaxe. I was the same with like "why is pick good here" till i started parrying, then it goes a bit faster than mace. (ps: just dont parry with pick ofc)


Also golems have peculiar attack patterns, you need to learn when on parry they have very short stagger and when its very long. You want to focus on parry the attacks that give long stagger and dodge the combo ones. Then the fight gets pretty easy.

Or leave them in peace, they cant follow too far and they suck aggro from drakes, or even wolves. They are more useful alive tbh, as there is tons of crystals in caves.
