The Redstone Golem is a Miniboss mob found in various levels in Minecraft Dungeons. They were the first mobs created by the Orb of Dominance even before Archie took hold of the Orb, as there are some unactivated ones already in the cave where the Orb is located. When spawned, a music soundtrack plays.[1] The music soundtrack of the redstone golem is the exact same as the Redstone Monstrosity's soundtrack when they are spawned as a mini-boss.
Appearance
The Redstone Golem is a smaller and weaker version of the Redstone Monstrosity, with more prominent cracks, no horns or visible mouth, and two slime-like eyes. There is also a block of redstone attached to its back and two inside both its upper arms. It is made from cobblestone and redstone blocks, with redstone dust wiring it. There were possibly made by the illagers to counter iron golems, being larger and having fully jointed arms and fingers.
Spawning
A Redstone Golem appears as the main boss of Redstone Mines. Afterward, they appear as mini-bosses in the Fiery Forge, Obsidian Pinnacle, Highblock Halls (Adventure), Redstone Mines (Adventure) and rarely in other levels on Apocalypse difficulty. It can also be rarely be summoned by the Arch-Illager during the battle with him. A few unactivated Redstone Golems appear in the intro cinematic. A redstone golem is also seen attacking iron golems in the cinematic as well.
Behavior
The Redstone Golem has two attacks. While not attacking, it runs toward a player, stomping its feet loudly, and alerting players. The Redstone Golem is much faster than the Redstone Monstrosity, with its speed almost matching that of the player.
- Melee Attack
When the player gets in range, it swings one of its arms across to attack, dealing massive damage (30 to 112 damage on Default) and high knockback.
- Mines
The Redstone Golem smashes into the ground with both arms, causing 14 mines to appear randomly around the golem. If a player walks over one of these, it detonates in a small radius, dealing immense damage (30 to 112 damage per mines on Default) to the target and anyone near. The golem cannot move while using this attack, so players can use this as an opportunity to hit it or to escape. The Redstone Golem does not use this attack on pets, but this attack still damages them if they happen to trigger one of the mines. This happens every 10 seconds after it chases the player. This is its most powerful attack.
Health
The amount of health depends on the difficulty; on Default Mode, it has 0.5K to 5K hp, on Adventure Mode, it has 5K to 25K hp and on Apocalypse Mode, it has 25K to 133K hp.
1K = 1000 or one thousand.
