Tried to tame one with stone, ended up taming a Giga while waiting

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.

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 .

If you have a level 9999 and use stone and are on 0.01 times taming it takes 80 years....

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)

If you are on fjordur, Don't try to tame with ptrerenodon they fixed that bug, now ptrerenodon can't rideable when you go to magmasaur cave, you have to use Desmodus latch on some distance so it will aggro on it and try to setup cannon for knock out.

ROCKET LAUNCHER WORKS AIM AT THE HEAD AND WAIT FOR IT TO GO UNCONSCIOUS I JUST SUCCEEDED AT TAMING ONE WITH THIS

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!

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.
