Tips & Strategies
They are beasts at soaking normal turrets but take more damage agenst tek turrets so be careful when planning to use one to soak when you raid someone. Also when you soak you can ether walk back wards or forwards with your elementals chin up to not get your survivor killed also they are really good at defending desert bases because they can blend in with the rocks in the area and ambush people trying to break into your base also if your on lost island the desert is a good place to build because not many people go there due to the heat and insects but if you find a good sheltered spot itβs a hard to find protectable base hope this helps this is A.L.N.A and see you in my next tip ;)
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
