Rockets no longer knock out Rock Elementals!

Always have bolas ready. They won't be for the Rock elemental, but for your tribe mate(s).

Whoever tames this thing with stone is a mad man

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.

Ok here we go Valguero... I’m at a beach wth a rock golem oh shiz. Well don’t worry, get a tribemate, get a ptero and fly slowly away from the golem. Then... STOP FLYING! the golem will look at your friend in the air and do nothing. Now set up your cannon, but hold your shield out, because they will throw a rock at you. Then fire at will! Tamed a level 55 with 6 balls and clay. Easy raids now.

Be friendly and caring when engaging this peaceful creature. He may disguise himself a rock, as he is very shy. Use stone to passive tame this gentle giant.

I have tamed this with stone so I am ultimate

Dont try to mine this thing.

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

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.

Health stay in stat calculator is wrong
I think it’s just a typo with extra zero
Upvote so designers see it.

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.

How to spot them:
If you go to the mountains on SE, were golems spawn more frequently, you can easily tell golems apart from rocks as they look SANDY compared to the grey or shiny metal rocks.
In the dunes or else where the golems have better camouflage, apart from being more textured, either use a Parasaur or spyglass to confirm your suspicions.
Also if you see a rock on the horizon ‘Fall’ like creatures spawn, then take it as red it’s a golem.

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.

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.

Can be tamed using the cannon module on the back of a Mek. Just be wary of body shots, will cause a lot of damage to the elemental. Took me 3 shells to knock out a 150

Uhhhh my rock golem doesnt collect flint. So I guess it isnt a top 10 flint collector.

Rock Elementals hate spike walls. They will get stuck on them and destroy your entire base.
