If you find yourself in a place where you want to tame one but cant build a trap try flying up to high space or shoot off a tapejara (if you can't fire rocket launcher off a tapejara please correct me) if need you can also lure it to a trap built near by.

Tried to tame one with stone, ended up taming a Giga while waiting

To tame it make sure your shot does around 400 DMG and make sure you see him make the animation touching his face

I used flying tame stand near him but not enough so he can't hit it

And another player place canon and hit him

Sulfur tame take long but it's worth it it is immune to dragon breath

Use the formula y=(5000+100x)/1800 to figure out how many cannonballs are necessary to knock the golem out. Y is cannonballs. X is level. I suggest bringing at least 2 extra cannonballs.

It's a bit silly that kibble tames it a lot better than rocks or sulfur because even in the dossier it says that it lives off of absorbing nearby rocks and minerals. So mabey they should make it so you have to feed them a rare mineral like obsidian what if they made it so you could tame one fast and with high effectiveness by giving one a few hundred or few thousand obsidian . or what if there kibble was made out of a combination of ores and minerals .

They should make the boulder throw able to knock out other rock elementals.

If you have a level 9999 and use stone and are on 0.01 times taming it takes 80 years....

Me: hits it with canon ball trying to nick it out

Golem: u should have aimed for the head( dies)

ROCKET LAUNCHER WORKS AIM AT THE HEAD AND WAIT FOR IT TO GO UNCONSCIOUS I JUST SUCCEEDED AT TAMING ONE WITH THIS

There is a great little natural passage that you can kite the golem in to at 64.1 - 49.9. We tame all our Golem there. They can't get out but once tamed can be moved out. It offers a great firing position for your cannon.
