Yeah here's a tip don't try and get flint from this thing with your anky lemme tell ya

If you are unsure if a rock is a disguised golem or not, a spyglass shows their name and level even when disguised. Also, when disguised, the rocks often move slightly as you get close, re settling onto the terrain.

Direwolves can sniff them out. Up so more can see

If you see a rock 🪨 fall frome the sky it was a golem spawning so be carefull ! Hope this was help full

😃

DO NOT hit a rock that falls out of the sky. Thats a spawning rock elemental and it will roll you into a ball when awoken.

I don't think anyone has said this yet but, you can kill them easily with the pyromaniac. Just bite it a couple times, run away, and watch it burn to death. The pyromane's fire negates the golem's damage reduction

REX & TAPEJARA TEK SADDLES CAN EFFECTIVELY KILL ROCK GOLEMS UPDOOT SO BOBS AND NOT BOBS KNOW HOW TO KILL THES E DOUCHEBAGS

Don’t get them mixed up with a rock.

What will happen will not be good

Rock Elementals hate spike walls. They will get stuck on them and destroy your entire base.

They can be found on genesis2, they just take 12 hours to find.

Oh a rock, I'll hit that with my pick for some stone. Oh hello mr rock element.........

I thought one of these was a rock so I hit it and then it got mad at me and these are can’t kill them with a gun it will throw rocks at you and it will kill all of your animals so be careful wen you see rocks

All rock elementals have the same rock skin when disguised. It is a bright yellow boulder and is very noticeable against dark mountains. Keep your distance, as they can aggro on to you when you get close.

I had a mob of 8 scorpions kill a golem by having the golem walk over them and get suspended in the air above them since there were so many scorpions, he eventually died, he could not attack.

First time I saw one of these I was looking in my inventory and suddenly it just stepped on me and squished me

If you kill them using a thyla’s gnashed ability then you can harvest their body with an anky. Killed a level 95 and just got 198 stone, 114 Crystal, 134 obsidian, 123 oil, and 78 metal from it. Hope this is useful to someone!! Have a nice day!!! :)

My first encounter:

Did that rock just move?

‘Looks away for 2 seconds’

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!

Unless you are unmounted (rock throw can OHKO unarmored survivors), the Rock Elemental is really easy to run away from, it’s incredibly slow and loses interest in the survivor quickly once you get away a good distance.

Killing one is a bit tricky without a Giga (which ignores the Elemental’s armor). You have a few options however…

1. Bleed. Thylas, Carnos, etc… Bleed ignores HP and armor and can kill the elemental, just be aware you probably won’t get any XP this way unless you kill the Elemental with regular (non bleed) damage from an attack.

2. Explosives. I wouldn’t advise this without a crap ton of resources or a high quality RPG. Elemental’s take full damage from explosives but their massive base HP pool means this will still take a while.

DO NOT USE A TAMED ROCK ELEMENTAL. Like the Giga, tamed Elementals are weaker than their wild counterparts even when saddled. Unless your Elemental is a much higher lvl with a very strong saddle, do not even think about fighting fire with fire.

How to spot them:

If you go to the mountains on SE, were golems spawn more frequently, you can easily tell golems apart from rocks as they look SANDY compared to the grey or shiny metal rocks.

In the dunes or else where the golems have better camouflage, apart from being more textured, either use a Parasaur or spyglass to confirm your suspicions.

Also if you see a rock on the horizon ‘Fall’ like creatures spawn, then take it as red it’s a golem.

Disguised rock golems will kinda move a little bit when coming into render. You can also use a spyglass, I’ve found… I think someone’s already said this, but ima go ahead and echo them.
