Tips & Strategies
Oh a rock, I'll hit that with my pick for some stone. Oh hello mr rock element.........
As a reminder the cannon doesn't last forever it slowly breaks itself
This thing is great for the water cave on east side of the island basically nothing in that cave attacks it’s and it doesn’t run out of oxygen so you can go through the whole cave safely and even after hitting things they won’t fight back but may bite you randomly but usually only once
When playing schorcthed earth look in the trees they can spawn there
To tame it you need a cannon ball and a trap
All rock elementals have the same rock skin when disguised. It is a bright yellow boulder and is very noticeable against dark mountains. Keep your distance, as they can aggro on to you when you get close.
We used 7 rocket launchers and 56 rocket missles
Knockout works best if you use a cannon
For some reason, after the latest update, X-rock elementals (haven't checked other variants) are no longer tameable. Whenever you knock them out, they don't eat and don't have a taming bar. Forcetame also doesn't affect them, so I believe it's a glitch
If you kill them using a thyla’s gnashed ability then you can harvest their body with an anky. Killed a level 95 and just got 198 stone, 114 Crystal, 134 obsidian, 123 oil, and 78 metal from it. Hope this is useful to someone!! Have a nice day!!! :)
First time I saw one of these I was looking in my inventory and suddenly it just stepped on me and squished me
The equation is actually
(5000y+100x)/1800+2y, then bring 2 eaxtra cannonballs
X is the level, and y is a single cannonball
Had to fix that
For the lava elemental kite it out of the magma springs entrance/exit knock it out and it will eat.
Build 5 stone dinosaurs gates and place them beside each other they should snap... now remove the middle and drag a Golem and lead it in the middle section.. now the Golem is stuck the paracer should be holding the cannon or any KO weapon face the cannon to the Golem and start shooting its head if the Golem is aggro on the stone gates go up to it until he losses aggro and focuses on you grab a shield so it will take less damage while it throws rocks at you the Golem can't run away because the two gates are holding him... hope this work make sure to carry extra ammo for the weapon if you miss the head
I think there should be a metal golem which is stronger and harder to tame. Maybe it could collect metal only and more effectively than anything else. ps. It’s just some idea I came up with in my spare time
Unless you are unmounted (rock throw can OHKO unarmored survivors), the Rock Elemental is really easy to run away from, it’s incredibly slow and loses interest in the survivor quickly once you get away a good distance.
Killing one is a bit tricky without a Giga (which ignores the Elemental’s armor). You have a few options however…
1. Bleed. Thylas, Carnos, etc… Bleed ignores HP and armor and can kill the elemental, just be aware you probably won’t get any XP this way unless you kill the Elemental with regular (non bleed) damage from an attack.
2. Explosives. I wouldn’t advise this without a crap ton of resources or a high quality RPG. Elemental’s take full damage from explosives but their massive base HP pool means this will still take a while.
DO NOT USE A TAMED ROCK ELEMENTAL. Like the Giga, tamed Elementals are weaker than their wild counterparts even when saddled. Unless your Elemental is a much higher lvl with a very strong saddle, do not even think about fighting fire with fire.
This rock elemental can be tame by chalico but not sure 100% but i tried it it work for me no mod idk if it work for u
