ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Me and my brother were hunting loads of wyverns with our maxed out wyvern and then I was spy glassing and looked at a rock and frickin-we went to base got pillars and stuff after i did my research we made the trap and 4 cannons . . . My brother accidentally killed it because he didn’t hit the head and second one we did it right, don’t get to close or your dead we put the trap but closer and it didn’t move and we hit 5 cannon balls in the head and tamed it with narcs and sulfur and we have it level 49 so far so we used about 60 pillars and 4 cannons and 5 cannon balls for every cannon and only hit head or you’ll kill the rock elemental after 2 years of searching and lots of material wasted bring narcs and bring sulfur after killing wyverns and knocking Rockwell’s head from ragnarok to extinction to the island and wait the ark island speed run (3:23:00) and you’ll have yourselves a dead rock golem after fighting a 102 rock dude and realizing they’re as good as a a literal rock and rage .
More Rock Elemental Taming & KO Tips
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.
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.
Me: hits it with canon ball trying to nick it out
Golem: u should have aimed for the head( dies)
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
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.
Use cactus broth. Sneak up to it but not to close and place metal gates around it. Then setup your Canon. Do something to it to wake it up and blow its head off
