They are covered head-to-toe in ballistic armor and are equipped with a ballistic shield and either an energy sword or a grenade launcher similar to the Pawns, but firing three shots in a burst as opposed to six (a full "magazine"). The Close Quarters Battle (CQB) Model Rook GOLEM are the next step up from Pawns. Grenades fired by Pawn or Rook GOLEMs do not discriminate either, causing damage to friend and foe alike. Though they are tough enemies in comparison to ANMC's, Pawns fall from a few bursts of 5.56mm or a few grenades. One can tell when they are being aimed at with the launcher, as it uses a laser sight to target enemies (similar to Watchers). Pawn-types are armed with either a close-range energy sword or a long-range grenade launcher firing in four-round bursts. They typically form squads of two to three and may sometimes be seen with Rook-type GOLEM. These are lightly armored, wearing green uniforms with light combat armor and helmets. The Patrol Model Pawn GOLEM are the lowest "ranked", weakest and most common of the GOLEM types. He rides a large motorcycle 1600ccs or larger. He also wears two different kinds of outfits, one with a black kevlar vest and the other with a yellow tactical vest. He uses two types of blades, a machete that he occasionally ignites in flame by first rubbing some sort of flammable liquid on it, and a Gunblade, which can be obtained by the player. 9 claims to be a "Hunter" like Aya for Neo Ark. He also could have served as a commander role of the brainless GOLEM defense units stationed in the shelter and Neo Ark. His uniform resembles the Standard Close Combat GOLEM. The transformation still leaves him slightly mad, however, evidenced by his insane laughter and actions. 9 was previously a human who requested Neo Ark to transform him into a NMC, but unlike other test subjects, he paid the scientists to retain most of his human intelligence and memories.

9 was the first human/ANMC created to help keep the ANMC under control and to hunt down escaped ones or staff in the case of Fred Bowman. 9 is not a regular enemy, but rather, a boss fought twice in the game - once at Akropolis Tower and once in Dryfield.

When GOLEMs are destroyed, they do not melt. To make up for these facts they where heavily armored to the point the it would take three magazines from a standard M16 rifle to do any serious amount of damage, also there are three varieties of GOLEM divided into two types each: a long range and melee version, with the exceptions being the KNIGHT and BISHOP GOLEM. In battle the GOLEM were slow and predictable, from raising their hands slowly to show where they were striking with their energy swords or raising their long ranged launcher to the player. For that reason, they have the highest BP scores. They are the toughest regular enemies in the game, armed with high-tech weaponry, with some versions sporting heavy armor or cloaking devices, working in squads to bring opponents down. The GOLEMs could quickly move around the shelter due to high speed transport trains. The GOLEM defense units were stationed in the first floor of the shelter on the cryo freeze lab where they would remain frozen till needed. Their main role was the defense of the shelter and securing escaped ANMC from their pens and to initiate clean-up procedures in the event of a catastrophic failure of the Shelter's systems. It is noted that these units were most likely failed ANMC humans or just picked up compatible humans for their program. They were changed in many ways for close combat or ranged fighting. The GOLEM defense units are cyborg humans that were altered by the Neo Ark shadow government.
