ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Go to a cliff and build a barricade with stone pillars( at least 3 high). Lure a rock golem to the pillars with an argentavis so it cant pass. Stand with your paracer at the other side. 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)
ROCKET LAUNCHER WORKS AIM AT THE HEAD AND WAIT FOR IT TO GO UNCONSCIOUS I JUST SUCCEEDED AT TAMING ONE WITH THIS
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.
Thank you to those who said shoot In head only because I lost an over level 100 one of these things and wasted so many cannonballs and use way to many resources.I was even had a name for him. Hit the head only you might have to adjust the cannon to hit the head.(Or have another cannon ready just in case it runs away and you can't hit itβs head) that happened to me before.Hit the head only or you will end up killing it.This help is for cannons well is easier for cannons because I used cannons. Hopefully this helps.
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.
