How do I kill a rock elemental? rock elemental battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
This creature I've found easiest to avoid due to its orange rock appearance. Also if you have high enough movement speed on any dinosaur, you can run past one without agroing it.
It killed me. And then it killed me. And then it killed me. And then my dropped inventory it was guarding "expired".
U can pick golems with a hover skiff
Make sure to put high walls if your in Scorched Earth server... This creature wiped us out killed my 136 T Rex :( and most tames.. It was a lv 5 Golem -__-
They have like + 20000 health wild but lose so much health when tamed make this change for the better
They have a lot of armor, so most normal attacks can't hurt them.
Once you manage to bring one down, you can mine obsidian and oil from them.

When tamed these guys can throw rocks
If you tame a parasaur, you can spot a rock elemental by searxhing for enemies. It will show the red ping, hovering just over the rock. It won't move around like it does with other animals. Great way to search for danger when you first start out on the map, and takes way less time to spot them than the spyglass.
You can kill them relatively safe with a bleed attack, e.g. Thylas attack, tried it several times, always worked, just bite it and then back off and yeah do that as long as needed and you get some free resources
Managarmars are great at killing them with a high enough damage points. By using the jump and breath you can go behind and shoot it with the ice and they are too slow to do anything about it.
If you aren't a high enough level for rockets yet, putting (at least) 5 C4 on a wooden spike wall will make the C4 go off when the spikes break.
The bolder (from Avatar)
When kiting one away, use a flier with decent hp like an argy. They won't throw boulders unless you land, or if they aggro on something else.
A level 40 ENRAGED rock elemental just destroyed my base and killed all of my carnos (over 30 of em) and i cant find anything about enraged rock elementals...very scary
If you notice a golem rock aboid if possible. If it's in the way of something important like a trail leading further up a mountain you can try kiting them out of the way. Use a fast and expendable mount like a raptor and aggro it by shooting arrows. Try moving unpredictably to avoid thrown rocks. They may lose interest midway, just shoot them and continue leading them out of the way. Once they get there keep your distance and they'll settle down in the new spot. Hope this helps.
