ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Around 15 45 north on map is a small rocky area at side of cliff with 2 spikes there are some ruins there which make the perfect tame pen for these. It is indestructible as a natural in game building and has an archway which stops the rock throw hitting you. Make a cannon placed on foundations and you can easily tame elemental here wall up the back side and it's a perfect safe place to tame. So easy to kite these guys all across map on an argent never get hit they are so slow and argent doesn't even need to sprint so never need stam. Such an amazing spot. Can easily hut the head with cannon at this spot have a box at side of cannon just fill up with cannon balls and go ham on taming those 150's
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)
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.
If you tame it with stone you will end up taming a giagantosaurus with cooked fish meat
