You can kill this creature decently quick with a Tropical Wyvern! My stats where-

lvl- 228

health- 10,093.1

stamina- 1096.9

Weight- 669.3

Melee damage- 621.8

Movement speed- 101.0

Imprinting- 100

You simply need to hit it with the water multiple times land on a opposite side hit again then go to the other side. This strategy proved affective for me due to I got stamina quick and he couldn't hit me because I was to far away by the time he could I was ready to fight. In about 3-6 minutes I killed a lvl 20.

Lik §ō ppl know this strategy! (You can transfer the wyvern to other maps to kill golems also.

Build 5 stone gate frames snap them together at a 45 degree angle remove the middle one have some on a bird get aggro when it's in the trap and unload with cannon as long as bird is in the air it will just stand there for you to Ko. And it will not throw rocks at bird as long it is flying. Just don't hit bird with cannon.

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.

When ever getting a rock elemental always use kibble, there is no point using anything else, it will take too much time to tame.

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.

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.

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.

TRAPS ARE UNNECESSARY!!! If you have a friend fly above it and agro it on a pt/arge, it will stand there, as long as you are far enough away with the cannons.

You can’t escape...help help help

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.

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.

Why is everyone saying cannons and cannon balls, It can be tamed with catapults, with better aiming than cannons...

You can use a stryder with a phase cannon to knock it out as well. A little harder to get accurate shots though, unless you have someone maintaining agro right in front of it.

These things harvest mutagel like a beast during the ambergris cycle.

You can kill these creatures quickly with a wyvern of any kind! I killed one with mine in 3-6 minutes. the way i did this was quickly use my breath when i run outa stam i land far-ish away so by the time he got near me i was up and ready! dunno if it works for other wyverns but my tropical wyvern did awsome in killing plenty of em for me!

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

I tamed one and let me tell you it’s harder than it looks

With 1x taming with stone it would almost a day

Around 15 45 north on map is a small rocky area at side of cliff with 2 spikes there are some ruins there which make the perfect tame pen for these. It is indestructible as a natural in game building and has an archway which stops the rock throw hitting you. Make a cannon placed on foundations and you can easily tame elemental here wall up the back side and it's a perfect safe place to tame. So easy to kite these guys all across map on an argent never get hit they are so slow and argent doesn't even need to sprint so never need stam. Such an amazing spot. Can easily hut the head with cannon at this spot have a box at side of cannon just fill up with cannon balls and go ham on taming those 150's

Is it possible to just walk backward with a rocket and avoid the thrown rocks to tame them???
