Ancient Golem

The Ancient Golem is a neutral monster in League of Legends described in game as "A tough monster that attacks with slow but punishing blows. Slaying this foe greatly increases mana regeneration and reduces cooldowns." It only appears on Summoner's Rift, where it spawns with two Young Lizards.

''Imbued by the power of the Nexus, the planet itself rises up to bring forth a protector of its lands. The Stone Golems roam the forests of Summoner's Rift, imbued with the strength of the Nexus and acting against any who disturb the peaceful wake of this isolated battleground.''

When killed, the Ancient Golem grants the buff to its killer, which increases his/her Mana regeneration and Cooldown Reduction.

Strategy

 * With at least one point in, clearing the Ancient Golem camp at level 1 will grant a level up.
 * Many jungling paths kill the Golem first due to the large boost in overall speed it gives.
 * can kill the Golem without by placing lots of es. This gives a very large boost during the laning phase, and so it is often a good idea to grab it.
 * Starting at the Golem is not recommended for new junglers, or junglers that lack runes. It has very high health and good damage. Asking for assistance(3-4 hits and walking away) can prove helpful in such a case.
 * Ganking is common at Golem as well in mid-level or higher play if one jungler is present. It's recommended to wait until the enemy team has arrived in their lane, or start somewhere else if you're unsure.
 * Controlling the Golem buffs can give your team an advantage in the match. Most junglers will attempt to control not only their own but also the opposing team's golem buff.
 * The golem spawn is indicated by a gold marker on the minimap. If your team has vision (via a champion or ward present) when the golem is killed, the gold marker will disappear and reappear when the golem respawns. You can use this to know when the golem is up.
 * The summoner spell will not remove the gold marker even if it allows you to see the golem is gone.
 * can use her to reveal the area and this will remove the gold marker if the final explosion of Hawk Shot is on the golem camp.
 * The golem respawns despite the buff still being around, so there can be more than two buffs around. The same applies for the Lizard.
