The Golem always spawns, even if you don't have AotA. You're probably on an outdated version of the game.

Try talking to the Giant Blacksmith with a basic Catalyst (Sorcerer's, Tin Banishment etc.) in your inventory. If you can make "Manus Catalyst", you have the AotA patch, otherwise, you need to update your game.
