Admantium golems are made out of the hardest substance there is in Baldur's gate. Only magical weapons +3 or better can hurt them at all, and only then the magical damage only gets through. No weapon damage at all gets through their armor, only the magical bonuses.
So you might do 2-4 damage a hit. Thats it. The overall way to kill them is either have a well protected warrior with very Low AC and backup healers waiting take it on, or gank it. Have all 6 characters with +3 or better weapons hit it all at once, and try and take it down as fast as possible. Since it can only hit one of you at a time, the one taking the damage can drink healing potions.
The are also slow, you can run back from them and heal up if damaged with enough time. Then head back in. A great tactic is to get some summoned monsters to act as fodder. And yes, melfs meteors work well.
