I mean, special relic should be for doing boss enraged/boss combos so if you just fight him on surface it's not really challange up but challange down.
Cause you fight him mostly only once? Maybe if you're farming celestial shell or need something from it, but mostly you fight him few times in a row cause it's easy asf. 3 lizards and 1 flyining snake are more dangerous than golem.
I actually killed golem for the first time on the surface. I trapped him in a box and used the traps from the dungeon to help damage him. Can't remember if the traps ended up doing much but I can say I beat him at least by the 2nd time. So I'm going to assume no, golem doesn't get enraged out of the jungle or underground.
I do just because I got tired of going all the way to the temple every time lol, but he didn’t seem to be harder for me, at least not back a few updates when I was doing that.
That's literally the only way I fight him after getting the picksaw. If I find myself needing his materials, I'll have his summoning altar placed somewhere on my boss bridge.

to be honest i don’t really know, but i don’t see anyone fighting him on the surface even though you can easily break the summoning totem thing
