Tips & Strategies
A good way to knock one out is to lure one into near the entrance of a cave such as the one near the red obelisk. You stand inside the cave, the golem will stand at the entrance and try to throw boulders but they cant reach inside thus you're safe. You can simply time yourself at shooting 1-2 rockets after he tries throwing a boulder at you. It is very important to aim for the head or you will kill the golem. (It took us 43 rockets using primitive launchers found in drops to knock out a 112)

Is it possible to just walk backward with a rocket and avoid the thrown rocks to tame them???
Tried to tame one with stone, ended up taming a Giga while waiting
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.
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.
If you have a level 9999 and use stone and are on 0.01 times taming it takes 80 years....
If you tame it with stone you will end up taming a giagantosaurus with cooked fish meat
ROCKET LAUNCHER WORKS AIM AT THE HEAD AND WAIT FOR IT TO GO UNCONSCIOUS I JUST SUCCEEDED AT TAMING ONE WITH THIS
Me: hits it with canon ball trying to nick it out
Golem: u should have aimed for the head( dies)
