    I am now lvl 18, and did a few quests, but now I have a problem with those damn ore golems..

    Now, I can defeat him, BUT, it will hurt my weapons ALOT, and secondly, bullets do crap all damage, I am a expert gun user, and I dont have glass rifle yet... just one more lvl grrr...

    So what is the best way to deal with him?

    Should I go for the glass looking rifle, or have to go back and forth from tarant to the caves (long long time to get it?)

    Take Chakka (Bates's bodyguard) to your team and give him a hammer... I mean buy 3 cheap hammers and large armors, that should help.

    complete the firearm master quest to get master status then you kill them easily even with a fine revolver but the rifeled canon is the best vs ore golems cuz the gun ignores all resistances

    Any Ogre will do in fact 2 is good.

    Recruited Sog and Chuckka or whatever his name is and those 2 will do a double team on almost everything out there. 22 st what the heck!!! Personally i prefer to root them the floor and cast spells but with those 2 on your side i guess any crap hammer will do too.

    Here's how I defeated them:

    character: human melee specialist
    followers: Virgil & Jayna

    I gave the Mystic Staff to Virgil and my character & Jayna fought bare-handed. The staff would not get damaged and as we hurt ourselves from punching it Virgil would heal us. I also used the Stun spell so the golem never got a chance to fight back.

    Axe take a lot less damage than other weapons like sword. You could use Pyrotechnic axe, and kill them much faster. A schematic found in the sewers in Tarant.

    Chakka

    How does one recruit Chakka? I have played through several times and still never have been able to recruit him. How is it done?!

    I think you can do that if you have enough charisma and persuasion around the time you need to go to the isle of despair. Since Gates?Bates told me I could try to recruit him then.

    bmc

    do the bmcquests, then talk to bates about isle of despair, he offers to let you have chukka, about golems... the firedamage doesn't hit them w/ the pyro ax... since sogg and chukka are pretty neutral on the magic/tech scale... you can hand them arcane/mystic/enchanted axes to pound out the damage... axes take no damage. also magic works well... incase you care.

    silly techs fiddlin with their guns and pyrotechnics , the answer to all lifes problems lies in disintegration!
    (although im not sure if it works on golems hehe)

    and is it me or is my harm getting /really/ deadly? ive started to get arm-being-torn-off animations for killing people with harm (specifically the orc and dumbass in the 'museum' in tarant from whence i liberated a 'stillwater giant pelt')

    Generally speaking, ore golems are highly resistant to normal damage. So, anything that causes fire, electric or other type of damage is great. I defeated them by giving Sogg and myself a couple of charged swords. Yeah, the weapons took some damage, but we were able to defeat them rather quickly.
