There are two weapons that will kill those big fat adamantite heads while your 30 yards away...
Two of the best missle weapons in the game. a short bow and a sling that reqire no ammo and strike as +3 or better. I plinked away for about 20 minute on one with the short bow while it was stuck in a door way. I took zero damage and got the 25000 or so EXP. I didnt get the sling til later and I found some more at took it out in 1/3 the time because I had the awesome rod that melts through em as well. My cleric with regenerate and holy power did the job backed up by a druid and a theif pelting away from far away.I forgot where I found them and I conviently lost the strategy guide so I dont know where these items are at.

Most adamantite and iron golems you face will usually be in an area where you can use the terrain to your advantage. If you get into a slugfest on open ground chances are high that someone will die just from the amount of damage it does per hit. Just do lots of scouting beforehand so you don't blindly run into them. Cloudkill does wonders to weaken them, then use things like stairways, etc which are narrow and the big golems can't get through. Then use missile weapons or summon Morden's sword and just hammer away at them.

Oh make sure you're hasted as they run VERY fast.

Had a reasonably easy time killing the first Adamantite Golem I encountered once I discovered he was vulnerable to "gas attacks". Put Boots of Speed on my wacky mage Aerie, moved everybody else back a ways, and had her use Wand with Cloudkill, run away, Cloudkill, run away, ... you get the picture. Also threw in a Magic Missile and finally a Hold Monster. Got the Golem weakened pretty fast and then sent in the wrecking crew to finish him off.

I have a deep, deep hatred for Golem Slow. No, 'deep, deep hatred' doesn't even begin to express the loathing I feel for that bloody spell. Since when does a golem have the ability to slow everyone and haste themselves?

hmm... i wonder how come i never had any problems with that...maybe because i use lower resistance and abi dahzmwhatever spell against them...oh i also shaped changed and became an iron golem... so 2 hulking giants killing each other...but i also had summoned monsters to aid me as well as my men ... gl

Can't believe no-one else got this one. Take anyone with a long weapon, staff/polearm/2-hd sword, +3 or better. Stand exactly at the limit of your striking range and the golem can't hit back. Period. Watch out for the Iron Golem's poison cloud. I used Jaheira instead of Minsc for the chore(better poison saves). Question: with 19 strength and a +4 staff I was only able to hit the Adamantite Golem for 2 points a whack. As a result I had to hit him 40 or 50 times. What's up?

I just changed into Mind Flayer form and brought down the Golem in one hit!

I just tick 'em to death with my good ole blade of roses, whilst being well armoured and having stoneskin and mirror image. It ain't creative, but it gives me a chance to drink my coffee while the battle's going on.

Hey Everybody, thanks for all the help. I ended up using a combo of lower resistance spells ,a magic missile barrage, and chipping away with +3 weapons. I got its magic resistance was lowered enough that most of the magic missiles got through. I would have used the vorpal but the blade (along with a few other things) disappeared in the Underdark. I've seen a few others had this problem also. Now if I can just beat Irenicus in Hell. Thats really pissing me off!
