How to tame Dragon Golem in Rune Factory 5

You can tame most of them!

Dragon Golem is one of many bosses you encounter in Rune Factory 5. It’s the only monster that drops Dragon Golem Ashes, a rare item used for crafting. Taming it will not produce the items you need, but you do get an amazing monster to aid you in your adventures.

Here’s how to tame it:

  1. Go back to Bandit King’s Old Base 3F after your first battle with it.
  2. Brush Dragon Golem until the music note icon stops appearing above its head. This will make it friendlier toward you and, thus, easier to capture.
  3. Do not attack it. Instead, give it items that it likes. Dragon Golem loves Rock food, such as Sand Flounders, Rockfishes, and Rockfish Stew. It also likes Potatoes grown from Starfall Seeds.
    • You’ll know you’re doing it right once you see the heart icon over its head with every gift. It will take a while, but it will eventually come with you.

If you’re still unsuccessful after many attempts, try again at a higher level. The wider your level gap, the higher its chances of being tamed. Plus, make sure you have space in one of your Barns. Monsters won’t come with you if there is no room. You can add a room to an existing Barn at Studio Palmer.
