Tips & Strategies
When a tribe is attempting to attack your Base using rock elementals the most effective method to kill these gigantic bullet sponge is to aim below the knees and shoot multiple rockets at it, it should kill the rider instantly and the elemental fairly fast, warning do not aim for the head you'll only waste rockets

Up if you think Ankys and dodics should do extra damage to these boys
Yeah here's a tip don't try and get flint from this thing with your anky lemme tell ya
If you are unsure if a rock is a disguised golem or not, a spyglass shows their name and level even when disguised. Also, when disguised, the rocks often move slightly as you get close, re settling onto the terrain.
If you see a rock 🪨 fall frome the sky it was a golem spawning so be carefull ! Hope this was help full

REX & TAPEJARA TEK SADDLES CAN EFFECTIVELY KILL ROCK GOLEMS UPDOOT SO BOBS AND NOT BOBS KNOW HOW TO KILL THES E DOUCHEBAGS
Don’t get them mixed up with a rock.
What will happen will not be good
Rock Elementals hate spike walls. They will get stuck on them and destroy your entire base.
Oh a rock, I'll hit that with my pick for some stone. Oh hello mr rock element.........
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.
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.
