Golem Fist in action.

The Golem Fist is a Hardmode, post-Golem flail-type weapon that has a 12.5% (1/8) chance of being dropped by the Golem. It fires a large fist attached to a chain that retracts on impact, similar to the one Golem uses. It fires forward at a rapid rate, similar to the KO Cannon and Harpoon. Firing at closer targets causes its fire rate to increase. The Golem Fist is one of the few Flail-type weapons which contributes a Gun Firing Mechanism.

It has the second highest knockback of all weapons, beaten only by the Slap Hand.

The Golem Fist has no cooldown period; therefore its auto-fire rate is dependent only on the distance to its impact, meaning that an enemy or object in close range will cause a faster autofire rate.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.

Notes

• Although technically a Flail, the Golem Fist's projectile has no difficulty passing through terrain on its return trip.
• The Golem Fist shares a similar velocity to the Golem's Fist Attack.
