'''Crystal Golems''' are large, ogre-like enemies embedded with purple crystals. They arm themselves with a ring of purple diamonds, shielding themselves from almost all damage; these shielding crystals must be destroyed in order to effectively defeat them. Crystal Golems attack by smashing the ground with both fists, dealing heavy damage and causing a line of crystals to erupt in the direction they're facing.


In the 3DS version of ''[[Skylanders: Swap Force]]'', Crystal Golems are much more easier to deal with, as they are smaller and lack protective crystals.

Game description

Crystal Golems are large, Trog enemies in Skylanders: Giants, first encountered in Drill-X's Big Rig.

They are embedded with purple crystals and arm themselves with a ring of purple crystals, shielding them from almost all damage. These shielding crystals must be destroyed in order to effectively defeat them. Crystal Golems attack by smashing the ground with both fists, dealing heavy damage and causing a line of crystals to erupt in the direction they're facing. However, if their shielding crystals are destroyed, their smash attack will no longer produce a line of crystals.

In the Nintendo 3DS version of Skylanders: Swap Force, Crystal Golems are much more easier to deal with, as they are smaller and lack protective crystals. These are first found in Shimmer Shard Shire. Enhanced Crystal Golems can be found in the Water Elemental Gate of the Tower of Time.

Trivia

  • If a Crystal Golem's shielding crystals are destroyed, the golem's ground-slam no longer creates burrowing crystals.
  • In the Earth elemental gate in Bringing Order to Kaos!, Frigid Chompies can be seen running around a Crystal Golem with it arms up in the air.
  • In the alpha version of Giants, Crystal Golems reuse the model of Stone Golem from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. Their bodies are shrouded in an ethereal blue tint, and they possess a shield of three green crystals which render them immune to all incoming damage. Like their finalized counterpart, their ground slam creates a burrowing line of large purple gems. When their shield is destroyed, these alpha golems momentarily collapse and afterwards adopt a new visual appearance.[1]
  • The Crystal Golem is the only alpha Giants enemy with a placeholder model to have its own intro cutscene.[2] Not only was this cutscene updated in almost every subsequent build of the game, but it also created the cracks in the ground that formed a Giants' leaping point in Drill-X's Big Rig.
  • The Crystal Golems' early description was "Don't run, just hide."[3]
