DONT USE A TRAPP!!!

Sometimes they dont work or the grpund is not leveld and they throw rocks at your cannon. Instead, tag a friend (or splitscreen on console) with a flyer to agro the elemental and let them fly slightly above the golem so that they dont take damage. Once the golem is distracted, place your cannon not to close and aim for the head. It is also prefered that you use kibble to tame it since they take hours to tame and that decreases taming effeiciency.

Hope you don't get Arked! (Check your surroundings when doing this. No seriously, do it.)

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)

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.

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

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.
