How do I revive the golem?
  • 1 of 11: Take the golem building book (if you want) and coal, and go into the next room.
  • 2 of 11: You need to get the missing parts, the head and arms.
  • 3 of 11: You should already have the arm, so now you need to find the head.
  • 4 of 11: Continue into the next room.
  • 5 of 11: Kill all the halflings in there, and then go to the right.  Watch out for traps here, because there are some.
  • 6 of 11: In the next room is an adamantite and 2 stone golems.  I think that the golems you run into in the sphere depend on your level.  The higher you are, the tougher the golems.
  • 7 of 11: Take the golem head and coal from the container, and go back to the furnace room.
  • 8 of 11: You have 3 piles of coal, right?  You need 'em.
  • 9 of 11: They can be found in a container in the beginning, in a room to the right of the furnaces, and in the room where the "Golem Machine" is.
  • 10 of 11: Use one pile per furnace to activate it.  Kill the fire elementals that come out of the furnaces.
  • 11 of 11: Go back to the golem room, and attach the arm and head and activate the golem.
