Were you able to use the 2 "unfishished" golems to help you? Because I think that's the only realistic way to do it. With them, it is a piece of cake.

Thanks all. I went through again and this time made sure I had leadership 7, which really wasn't a problem because I think I leveled 2 times just fighting the regular golems on my way to the end. I was able to get the golems to help me. It made all the difference in the world. Even not controlling the dark golem, it was a piece of cake.

For blade, I was thinking of getting 1200 gold steel shaped blade (14 - 70 HP) and enchanting it with something. Maybe fire. BUt I'm not sure just how valuable the extra strength and dex from the Empathy Blade for creations is. Maybe I should just keep using it, stand back during the big fight, and use magic to support the creations like you said. To check leadership, I went back to he beginning of the Stoneworks and made sure i put one more point into leadership. I was able to obtain the unfinished golems, but the self destructed pretty quickly. I guess that is because of my lack of leadership? The message didn't indicate that. It just said they were "old" or something.

I am using 2 clawbugs and 3 roamers. I did not have the leadership to command the dark golem. As for getting golems on my side, I assume you mean the ones that are not yet finished. I brought them to life and they turned on me. Or perhaps you mean the 2 in the maze. I think I screwed that one up because I flipped the switch BEFORE meeting the golems. Maybe I should have got their attention first and then ran for the switch? Anyway, one thing I do need to do for sure is get a better sword. I'm just using the Empathy blade.

I finally made my way through the Stoneworks to the end and man is it hard! I've tried the fight every which way and I can't seem to get the upper hand. I kill the dark golem, but the last guy (won't say who... spoiler and all) just won't go down. I use up every pod I have but he's relentless. So what's a good time to try this one? Is it late game? I think I'm about level 18, shock trooper.
