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.

Rock golems should have reduced weight for stone come on wildcard

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

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.

I was walking up a mountain on scorched earth the ground shook he threw a rock at me I died only on the death screen I learned what a rock elemental is.

Yeah here's a tip don't try and get flint from this thing with your anky lemme tell ya

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

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

If you are unsure if a rock is a disguised golem or not, a spyglass shows their name and level even when disguised. Also, when disguised, the rocks often move slightly as you get close, re settling onto the terrain.

Rock elementals are extremely tough to kill or knockout. Over encumbering them inside or around your base and setting them to aggressive allows them to defend your base with their rock throw attack without being kited away by enemies.
