Golem Pet Guide – Grow a Garden (2025)
The complete guide to Golem, the Sprout Egg pet that accelerates mutation cycling for end-game players.
The Golem is a Mythical Rarity pet from the Beanstalk Event, available exclusively from the Sprout Egg.
Its singular, powerful role is to act as a **"Mutation Machine Accelerator."** By periodically reducing the machine's remaining time, it allows players to dramatically speed up the process of finding and applying ideal mutations to high-value crops.
A Rare Prize: 6% Hatch Chance
Path to Obtaining Golem:
- 1
Join the Beanstalk Event
Contribute crops to help grow the server-wide beanstalk.
- 2
Reach Goliath’s Goods
Climb the fully grown beanstalk to access the event shop at the top.
- 3
Acquire a Sprout Egg
Purchase **Sprout Eggs** from the shop, which restocks hourly. You can also pay a high, escalating fee in Sheckles for manual refreshes.
Hatch for a 6% Chance
Hatch the egg (approx. 4h 10m) and hope for the Golem.
Sprout Egg Hatch Pool
| Pet | Chance | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Dairy Cow | 50% | Growth boost (General) |
| Jackalope | 31% | Applies mutations (e.g., Sandy) |
| Sapling | 12% | Routes mutations between fruits |
| Golem | 6% | Reduces Machine Cooldown |
| Golden Goose | 1% | Generates Fortune eggs |
The Golem's passive ability, "Stonework" (a community-coined name), is a game-changer for mutation farming.
- Cadence: Approximately every 5 minutes.
- Effect: Reduces the remaining cooldown on the Mutation Machine by about 61 seconds.
Why This Is Crucial
This ability directly translates to more attempts at getting rare mutations in less time. For end-game players hunting for perfect traits like Fortune or powerful pet mutations like Ascended, the Golem saves dozens of real-world hours.
While some guides call Golem "underwhelming," they miss its most powerful, hidden feature: **its ability stacks with multiple Golems.**
Each Golem you own triggers its ability independently. A team of Golems can reduce the Mutation Machine's cooldown so frequently that it becomes nearly instant. This transforms the mutation process from a long wait into a rapid, efficient production line.
| Golem Count | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 Golem | A noticeable boost, saving ~12 mins/hour. |
| 3 Golems | Significant acceleration, cutting wait times by more than half. |
| 5+ Golems | Game-changing. Near-instant, continuous mutation cycling. |
Golem is the engine in a perfect mutation-farming team. Here’s the ideal workflow:
1. Source Mutations: Use Jackalope to generate common mutations.
2. Accelerate Cycle: Use Golem to constantly reduce the Mutation Machine timer.
3. Route Mutations: Use Sapling to move a valuable mutation to a target crop.
4. Monetize: Use Golden Goose to create and spread the high-value Fortune mutation for massive profit.
| Pet | Role | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Golden Goose (1%) | Direct Value Creator | Immediate, high-profit gains |
| Golem (6%) | Efficiency Multiplier | Long-term, strategic players |
| Sapling (12%) | Strategic Tool | Advanced mutation routing |
