Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Adventure 2

The Egg Golem (エッグゴーレム Eggu Gōremu?) is an antagonist that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It was a giant, Egyptian-themed robot created by Dr. Eggman[1] to fight Sonic at the Hidden Base during the Space Colony ARK incident.

Appearance[]

The Egg Golem is a colossal humanoid robot with armor made of beige stone. His head resembles a human face with a pharaoh's headdress on it.

History[]

Games[]

Sonic Adventure 2[]

In Sonic Adventure 2, the Egg Golem was called forth by Dr. Eggman to destroy Sonic and his friends when they reached the center of his Hidden Base. Though shocked at the size of his opponent, the hedgehog engaged the machine and eventually disabled him by landing a kick on his restraining mechanism. His restraints now broken, the Egg Golem started rampaging and soon targeted its own creator, forcing the doctor to destroy it.

Personality[]

Like many of Dr. Eggman's own creations, the Egg Golem is obedient, silent and unwaveringly dedicated to his master's orders, as long as his restrains are in place. It appears to lack in intelligence though, given the primitive and often brutish fighting methods that are used, as well as exceptionally vindictive, quickly turning on and attacking the doctor once his restraining mechanism had been broken.

Powers and abilities[]

The impact of Egg Golem's strikes, from the 2012 remaster of Sonic Adventure 2.

Extremely large and sturdy, the Egg Golem has impressive strength, capable of moving around in quicksand without hindrance and hit with enough force to topple platforms and create powerful shockwaves. He also possesses an outer armor made of rock which makes him very durable, as it takes several shots from the Volkan Cannon to penetrate his armor.

The Egg Golem possesses articulated joints, allowing him to rotate both his head and torso 360 degrees around. Though also not near superhuman, the Egg Golem is fairly fast for his size and structure, his swings being able to keep up with even Sonic's speed. He can also generate an electrical aura that can shock anyone who touches it.

The Egg Golem possesses a number of weak spots, the most noticeable being the restraining mechanism on his head. If that is destroyed, it will return freedom to the Egg Golem. He also has weak spots under his armor, though they are protected by said armor.

Battle[]

Hero story[]

In the Hero Story, the Egg Golem is the fifth boss of the Hero story in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. He is fought as Sonic the Hedgehog after defeating King Boom Boo.

Boss guide[]

The battle takes place on a ring of platforms with the Egg Golem in the center. Below is quicksand which will eventually pull the characters into a bottomless pit. However, Sonic can avoid sinking by jumping repeatedly. To get up from there, the player has to use the nearby Pulleys.

The Egg Golem starts out by trying smash Sonic with his fists, offsetting and eventually shattering segments of the platform. This can be dodged by moving out of the way. After that, he will stick his arms out and whirl around like a tornado for a sweeping attack. This attack can be avoided by either getting off the platforms, jumping over the hands, or hiding in recesses. It takes the Egg Golem a moment to recover from each attack, which allows the player to counterattack.

While the Egg Golem recovers, run around behind him and jump up the ledges protruding from his back. The top three ledges in particular are marked with yellow symbols that the player can use to Homing Attack to the top. From the top ledge, the player can attack the Egg Golem's head, damaging him. After three hits, the Egg Golem will smash his whole head into the platform, instantly shattering whichever segment he strikes. Land two more hits, for a total of five, to defeat the Egg Golem.

Boss guide[]

The battle takes place on a ring of platforms with the Egg Golem in the center. Below is quicksand which will eventually pull the characters into a bottomless pit. Unlike Sonic, Dr. Eggman's Eggwalker will sink immediately in this quicksand. To get up from there, the player has to use the nearby pulleys.

Like with Sonic, the Egg Golem starts the fight by hammering with his fists, offsetting and eventually shattering segments of the platform. This can be dodged by moving away. After that, he sticks his arms out and whirl around like a tornado for a sweeping attack. This attack can be avoided by either getting off the platforms, jumping over the hands, or hiding in recesses. Between each attack, the Egg Golem a moment to recover.

Begin by shooting at him with the Volkan Cannon until one of the cracks in the Egg Golem's chest opens up. When it does, lock-on onto the exposed mechanical parts three times and fire the Lock-On Missile. Repeat this process with the other two cracks to finish him off. Eventually, the Egg Golem will smash his whole head into the platform, instantly shattering whichever segment he strikes. It is advised to just keep running in a circle, but if the Health Gauge gets low, Hover down onto the platforms below to find some Rings and a Health Item Box.

IDWEggGolem

The Egg-Golem, from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2019.

An Egg-Golem was used by the residents of the Lost Pyramid of Dr. Eggman in Dusty Desert to defend themselves against intruders.[2]

When Rough and Tumble arrived to get the treasures of the pyramid, the Egg-Golem got in their way and attacked them. Rouge, who had come to the pyramid herself to look for treasure too, then flew in search of the remote control used to control the Egg-Golem. Eventually, she stumbled upon the inhabitants of the pyramid controlling the Egg-Golem. In the meantime, Rough and Tumble managed to destroy the Egg-Golem together, only to get scared out of the pyramid by Rouge.[2]

Trivia[]

  • The Egg Golem is the only boss in Sonic Adventure 2 to have the prefix "Egg" in its name.
    • It is also the only boss to be fought in both the Hero and Dark storylines.
    • This is also the only boss fight of which the intro animation can be canceled.
  • In the Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia, it is stated that the Egg Golem was an ancient guardian repurposed by Dr. Eggman to fight Sonic and his friends at the Hidden Base.[3] However, this is contradicted in the Sonic Adventure 2 recaps, where the doctor himself states that he created the robot for the same purpose.[1]
  • In IDW Publishing, the Egg-Golem is used by a remote, a trait very similar to its Sonic X counterpart.
