The Rock Elemental/Golem is a tanky beast to tame, and here is a guide to it. #1. The Rock Golem is found on a few maps: Scorched Earth, Valguero, Gen 1, and Fjordur. It has armor, so it will take less damage with a lot of attacks. To tame it, you need either a cannon, or rocket launchers, and aim at the head. It will eventually knock out, and you can give it extordinary kibble. #2. It has multiple abilities. It has a standard attack that breaks through other elemental’s armor, a hand swing, and can throw rocks.(The rock throw is the strongest attack) The saddle unlocks at level 70, I think. #3. When killed, it gives you stone(Big surprise), Sulfur, Obsidian, Crystal, and Flint. There are multiple variants: Rock, Chalk, Ice, X, and Rubble. This is my guide to the Rock Elemental/Golem.

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.

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.

Store your loot on one underwater in rock mode, no one will ever find it

Direwolves can sniff them out. Up so more can see

Disguised rock golems will kinda move a little bit when coming into render. You can also use a spyglass, I’ve found… I think someone’s already said this, but ima go ahead and echo them.

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.

Don't steal someone's 190 lightning wyvern egg or expect one of these at your base.

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

Rock Elemental can take a lot of hits reducing damage by 50% from all non-blunt damage. A TAMED Rock Elemental can NOT fight a wild one. It works the same as a Giga so I would advice against it.

Rock golems spawn on astaros i saw it with my own eyes there out there

PRO TIP: on 2x taming weekends (Evolution Events) on official servers. You can knock out a level 20 or below elemental, slap some sulfur in it, and call it a day as it will not require narcotics on 2x but WILL still take 4 hours.

Tried to melee on with my wyvern (32k health, 600% dmg) and just gave up. The damage resistance of rock elementals just makes it so freakin hard to kill them. Not to mention their wyvern breath resistance.
