The Psycho Golem is a boss from Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero. One of the five mythical Golems, it eschews conventional weaponry in favour of using powerful psychokinetic forces. It has a head with spiked "ears" and a "hat" with a moon insignia to set itself apart from the rest of its kind, along with two floating arms styled like robe sleeves.
The Psycho Golem will only appear after collecting all 36 Energy Elements from Chapter 2's chip path levels and at least 6 Energy Elements from Chapter 3's levels (the number needed to unlock Null and Void). Afterwards, it will spawn on the overworld as a roaming boss. Defeating the Psycho Golem will give Zero an upgrade that halves the Psycho Chip's energy drain rate.

Battle
The Psycho Golem attacks by using one of five attacks at random, never using the same attack twice in a row:
- Firing a series of slow-moving dark vortexes from both arms, with one hovering at the top of the screen and the other to the right.
- Slowly moving its arms towards the left. They flash white during this, and attacking them causes them to fire a blast of energy identical to the Psycho Saber's shot reflection. Attacking them, however, is the only way to push the arms back.
- Flipping itself upside down and shooting small sine wave projectiles identical to the Psycho Buster. Once flipped, it won't turn itself right-side upwards until it uses the dark vortex attack.
- Shooting a burst of falling projectiles identical to the Psycho Burst from its head. If it is currently flipped upside down, the shots will have inverted gravity and will rise up instead.
- Sending out a slow homing Psycho Drive ring, which can be shot down to avoid damage.
If Zero hides behind the Psycho Golem, it will use its arms to grab him, then force him through to the other side of the screen, doing massive damage to him. Notably, the Psycho Golem flies faster and higher than the other Golems.

Yamato Man | Yamato Man: Psycho Golem?
By the Gods... these psychic brainy-wimey types are the downfalls of fighters like me! They attack us by prying open our backdoors: our minds! You can train as much as you want, They are impossible to beat! Zero: Do you have any advice? Yamato Man: Well... When it shoots that tiny orb that follows you around, shoot it down before it becomes a problem. And shoot its arms back when they start moving towards you, but watch out for the waves they'll counter with. Time your shots carefully so you don't get overwhelmed! Zero: I thought psychic opponents were impossible to beat, according to you. Yamato Man: For people like me, they are!!! |

Trivia
- While all the Golems' "one arm up top, one on the right" attacks are derived from Omega's first fight in Mega Man Zero 3, the Psycho Golem's ring-like vortexes are the closest match to the ring projectiles Omega's original fight uses.
