Hi, Looking to try to tame one of these? Great idea! In this tip is what I would recommend bringing, it’s entirely your choice what you want to use! :D Now, the first thing to pack is a cannon and at least 50 cannonballs (I suggest bringing an extra cannon!) Next simply a foundation of any type, as the first thing the rock golem will hit is the cannon, whatever is underneath it is safe! And finnaly taming food! This would normally be where I state the narcotics needed, but this creatures torpor would take days just to wake up! I’m pretty sure they like extraordinary kibble! And I would recommend bringing kibble, as taming it with anything else could take days! And this one is optional but I would also recommend bringing at least 5 metal gateways for a trap! Now that your all ready (assuming you packed armor and regularly used weapons of your choice) for the knockout process! These guys are disguised as rocks, they are very easy to distinguish because of the way off in color of its disguise, compared to the natural rock formations around it, it will also if you have a spyglass confirm whether it’s a rock golem or not! Ghillie is recommended if you plan to trap it! Equip ghillie and go prone, now you are basically invisible to the golem, you can safely place the metal gates arround it with ease! Once complete feel free to get up and walk around! Next place the foundation and the cannon far enough away to where it can’t hit it, (other than the rock throw) and to the point where you can shoot it easily! Now VERY carefully shoot for the head of the golem, as the closer to the middle of the face you get, the less damage the golem will take, and the more torpor it will gain! Missing after a confirmed headshot is completely fine, as it will take hours for the torpor inflicted with one cannon ball to completely drain so take your time and cleanly make your shots! This knockout process is optional if you have something else in mind feel free to give it a shot! Once it’s finnaly unconscious (witch I would consider a feat in and of itself) it’s time to start the taming process, it’s just one step then wait for it to tame, just put the kibble in its inventory and go do something else until it tames! Now you have yourself a sturdy and tanky tame! Here’s some info on what they are commonly used for; Pvp In this game mode this is a GREAT and effective way of soaking turret damage, also in this case they are a walking catapult, they can throw rocks and do about the same dmg as a catapult! Pve, great base defenders as they can like in pvp, soak a lot of dmg before needing to heal! If encumbered it will use its rock throw unless close enough range to use it’s melee attacks! This guy eats stone or other natural minerals, crystals, obsidian, metal, Etc. I hope this tip helped, happy taming, and Take care!!

the Rock elemental is an excellent fighter against most Dino's due to the fact that it's mostly only weak to blunt attacks, Making it a perfect mount for patrolling or hunting death worms.

Oh a rock, I'll hit that with my pick for some stone. Oh hello mr rock element.........

Get a Pteranodon then make his following distance on highest then aggro a Rock Elemental, fly high enough so he cant damage the Pteranodon and jump down the pteranodon and use parachute.

Now place the Cannon, make the right settings and shoot on the head of the rock elemental.

The Rock Elemental will do nothing because he is aggro on the Pteranodon.

This is very good for soaking bullets from turrets due to its damage resistance and can easily handle multiple heavy’s. But if they have tek turrets the turrets will ignore his damage resistance and he will likely die or be very low so do not use on tek turrets, the stego is better for those. Oh also this is completely useless but you can whip him in rock form and he will move.

Keep in mind that these dinos are completely immune to all elemental damage, so agains Wyverns of any type they will take no damage from breath attacks and very little damage from bite attacks.

As a reminder the cannon doesn't last forever it slowly breaks itself

These are on Fjordur they can be found in the magmasaur nest in the volcanic biome

Metal billboards!!! Use 5 (or more) billboards and trap the dang golem in one spot. Make sure you get one on each side AND through the golem.

You can set up a cannon defense wall a little ways away. 3x1 foundations across and the cannon is in the middle. Place a metal single door frame in front of the cannon and then solid walls on either side and one level higher. Good defense! Aim and shoot!

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.

There are lot in the chalk cliffs in velguro

Up if this helped.

Great for killing wyvern at the scar

Just wandering how many doedicarous's will i need to kill the golem?

I had a mob of 8 scorpions kill a golem by having the golem walk over them and get suspended in the air above them since there were so many scorpions, he eventually died, he could not attack.

Glitchy to say the least. Try to hit the head to knock it out for taming. Seems to not take the “head hit” if it recently finished throwing a rock… sometime. lol glitchy.

First time I saw one of these I was looking in my inventory and suddenly it just stepped on me and squished me

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!!! :)

For the lava elemental kite it out of the magma springs entrance/exit knock it out and it will eat.

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

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
