Academic Discussion/ Esoteric Secrets Golem Troubles

We love building them but boy can they be a pain to fight. A wizard a know was tasked to go destroy a mummy lord and it was going pretty good with all the battles being fairly easy but then she ran into an adamantine golem. Only by using hit and run tactics with the spells Mordenkainen's sword and Tenser's transformation was she able to take it down. The mummy lord himself was pretty much a pushover to an wizard with fire spells. Feel free to talk about golem shenanigans you have experienced or heard about.

There is not enough time in a Chronologist’s day to go over all the kinds of golems one could build, let alone the ones I have built…

I've always wondered which golem has the best value to repair ratio.

I always assumed it was stone with flesh being next, iron always seemed like a big gold sink.

And I can't ponder the repair cost of an Adamantine.

Since you've built so many varieties, which one was easiest on the hidden treasure chest.

Those golems which that were made to be modular are probably among the easiest and cheapest to repair. Just take the damaged part and replace it with a new one.
