Right now my idea is that the golems are fought in a specific location each, that is tied to a spirit that is symbolically but not directly related to each golem, and the ET is doing something to pollute or damage that locale. So you fight erion on the oil platform above where yacuma lives, you fight erace near a strip mine/solar farm in the desert where machima lives, and you fight eronze in the jungle where the ET is deforesting the jungle where patama lives.
As you beat them in each location, you are restoring balance to the spirit's homes, which unlocks the Gold city, in accordance with the legend that Northy is following, but he misunderstands to mean that there is a great source of energy in the gold city, which the ET wants to profit off of (being the enforcement of a company that funds the industrialization of the region and as such has a monopoly on shit) , and the text of the legend is worn so he misses the whole bit about how those areas need to be in balance, and not just have humanity be in control over those locations.
So the spirits are encountered or even potentially mentioned untill post game, merely that your actions in beating the ET in each location is what causes the gold city to open up.
Didn't engrave the text like the symbol because it's too hard to read, and I can't find a good font. I'll work that out later.
