The Golem Fist attacking Target Dummies.

The Golem Fist is a Hardmode, post-Golem flail that fires a large stone 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 has a (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 1/7 (14.29%) / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 1/8 (12.5%) chance of being dropped by Golem.

The Golem Fist has a very short 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.

Trivia

• The Golem Fist has a similar velocity as the Golem's fist attack.
• It has one of the highest knockback values of all weapons, beaten only by the Slap Hand(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and possibly (depending on the player's speed) the Jousting Lance(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and its upgrades.
