How do I kill a rock elemental? rock elemental battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To escape this creature is run
If you, just like me, live on SE mountains and always get your dinos killed by it, all you need is a carno with 7k health (not hard to lv up) and 550% damage, you will be able to bleed to death a lv max one and still have up to 15%/20% health
if you get attacked by these anoying bastards, just take out your allos and they will do a bleed attack and take them down easily
Get a flight mount and go to the mountains the yellowish rocks are rock elementals
It killed me. And then it killed me. And then it killed me. And then my dropped inventory it was guarding "expired".
Make sure to put high walls if your in Scorched Earth server... This creature wiped us out killed my 136 T Rex :( and most tames.. It was a lv 5 Golem -__-
U can pick golems with a hover skiff
Best weapons are pickaxe,metalpicaxe metalsword for close up and for range rockets and grenades so sharp and explosive tings.
They have like + 20000 health wild but lose so much health when tamed make this change for the better
fjordur players! cant find one? well you can actually find a R rock elemental (lava like rock elemental) in the magmasaur pit. if you dont know where that it its at the south end of the fire wyvern trench. it should spawn not in the lava but the trail you used to get in here in the magmasaur part. idk but i think they spawn in the 3 sections before you get in the actual magmasaur pit part. be wary about the onyc or magmasaurs!
Me: THIS THING IS SO STRONG WHY IS IT IN THE GAME
Ian: Life uh uh finds a way
My time ended with a very dead bob
When tamed these guys can throw rocks
When kiting one away, use a flier with decent hp like an argy. They won't throw boulders unless you land, or if they aggro on something else.
If you tame a parasaur, you can spot a rock elemental by searxhing for enemies. It will show the red ping, hovering just over the rock. It won't move around like it does with other animals. Great way to search for danger when you first start out on the map, and takes way less time to spot them than the spyglass.
If you aren't a high enough level for rockets yet, putting (at least) 5 C4 on a wooden spike wall will make the C4 go off when the spikes break.
They have a lot of armor, so most normal attacks can't hurt them.
Once you manage to bring one down, you can mine obsidian and oil from them.
You can’t escape...help help help
If you notice a golem rock aboid if possible. If it's in the way of something important like a trail leading further up a mountain you can try kiting them out of the way. Use a fast and expendable mount like a raptor and aggro it by shooting arrows. Try moving unpredictably to avoid thrown rocks. They may lose interest midway, just shoot them and continue leading them out of the way. Once they get there keep your distance and they'll settle down in the new spot. Hope this helps.
Tried to melee on with my wyvern (32k health, 600% dmg) and just gave up. The damage resistance of rock elementals just makes it so freakin hard to kill them. Not to mention their wyvern breath resistance.
