Tips & Strategies
Paracer with a platform saddle, cannon on the back. Build a half circle of stone pillars, 2 high, to kite it back to. Make sure the Paracer has plenty of health as it will take some serious damage through the process. Bring soup that helps with health regeneration and feed it to the Paracer before the fight. Have the person firing the cannon balls put as many cannon balls in inventory as you can carry. Line up the shot prior to the kite. Quick KO and pretty easy tame.
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)
Build Cannon on the quetzal platform and thank me
When you fly with quetzal Even very low golem won't do anything just watching you then shoot it
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.
You can actually use rocket launchers to knock these guys out
ROCKET LAUNCHER WORKS AIM AT THE HEAD AND WAIT FOR IT TO GO UNCONSCIOUS I JUST SUCCEEDED AT TAMING ONE WITH THIS
