Golem

Golem (ゴーレム) is the first boss from Mega Man Zero. It's a giant Mechaniloid from Neo Arcadia that was developed as a guardian to keep the peace and protect the citizens. It can shoot lasers from its torso and extend its arm with a wire.

The battle starts with Ciel being captured by one Golem, and she yells to Zero to run away, because he can't damage him with a buster. After 30 seconds of fighting, a mysterious computer lights up in the background and gives Zero his Z-saber, which Zero uses to kill Golem in one hit; however, Zero must slash it on the head to destroy the Golem. (The computer has X's cyber-elf form image on monitor). The player can still kill the boss using only the buster, despite what Ciel said, but it causes less damage. After the battle, Zero and Ciel return to Resistance Base.

The player can hurt Ciel during the fight, and each hit made to Ciel subtracts 2 points at the end of the mission.

Mega Man Zero 2
In Mega Man Zero 2, there are three modified versions of the Golem: Golem Type E (electric), Golem Type F (fire) and Golem Type I (ice). All three of them appear in the Residential Area stage, during Elpizo's Operation Righteous Strike.

Golem Type E
Golem Type E appears twice as the sub-boss of the first stage, Sand Wilderness, and is the first boss of the Residential Area. It also appears hidden in Kuwagust Anchus' stage and Sage Harpuia's Crystal Cave stage.

It attacks with three electric lasers, which goes in different directions depending of the arm it uses. To dodge, stay away from it when it attacks with the arm in his front, and near when the far one is used.



Golem Type F
Golem Type F is one of the hidden sub-bosses from Phoenix Magnion's stage, Power Room, and the second boss of the Residential Area. It attacks by creating a fire ring with its flamethrower arms, and can spit fire.



Golem Type I
Golem Type I is the sub-boss of Poler Kamrous's stage, Computer Zone, and is the last boss of the Residential Area. It shoots icicles and spits ice balls.
