Me: THIS THING IS SO STRONG WHY IS IT IN THE GAME
Ian: Life uh uh finds a way
A Thylacoleo can easily cause bleed on a rock golem and kill it. Tame lvl 25. Leveled up to 70. Killed up to lvl 4 rock golems pretty easy with bleed effect.
easiest way to tame is to make a double doorframe trap, then as soon as it does its spinning attack shoot just before it finishes with the cannon aimed where the head would be, and boom tamed!
I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding or what but at least in my experience they Rock Golem does not collect flint or metal from rock and metal nodes. This was disappointing to me. On the other hand they are still good because they can dual harvest both wood and stone unlike the doed. Though I would prefer if they had the weight bonus which they do not
Using a typical trap with metal Dino gates or a flyer to keep their attention if you have a stryder with a chest cannon you can shoot it with about 2.25X the amount of shots you would need for a regular cannon. For example if it’s 4 shot on a cannon you would need to shoot about 10 chest cannon shots from a stryder. I’ve tamed 3 using the same traps. Also the stryder will not damage your own tames or your structures. This is on pve in 303 PS4. Dododex can add the stryder as a taming method.
You can actually use rocket launchers to knock these guys out
My time ended with a very dead bob
If you have a paracer mount a cannon it does way more damage to X-elementals cuts cannon fire by 10%
When tamed these guys can throw rocks
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
Trust me you will want to make sure you are really prepared for taming this beast it will take a long time
Build a trap out of metal pillars about 5x5x3 (5 pillars wide, 5 pillars long and 3 pillars tall) with a ramp on one end and bring a platform saddled Paracer with a cannon ontop to fire from outside the trap. Simply lure the Elemental in and line up your Paracer so the turret is aiming at the Elemental’s head. Pump HP into Paracer incase the Elemental decides to chuck boulders at it, cannon might get a little damaged but not by much.
Here a easy way use mek with cannon and cannon shell
All non blunt force/ explosive damage is reduced to half. To add to that, with a primitive saddle, all damage is reduced so it takes about 30% damage. Always have it disguised as a rock around your base. It works better than a vault in several different situations. (For ALL smaller bases)
It seems you can not transfer them from Valguero. Please not be me and waste all these hours of work on your Main map beeing Stuck with this thing on valguero and not beeing able to transfer it.
:(
Tamed one on scorched(level 60) u might want to have industrial forge before taming it broke my 2 of my cannons and on the third one it knocked out. Fed it stone, realized my stupidity and gave it sulfur.Took 6 cannonballs.Would you think I was crazy if I told you I used stone gateways🤗
Rockets actually do knock out golems, you just have to be very careful and time your shots. 3/8/2022
