Encountering Tips

How do I kill a rock elemental? rock elemental encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
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
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
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.
If you see a rock 🪨 fall frome the sky it was a golem spawning so be carefull ! Hope this was help full
😃
They can be found on genesis2, they just take 12 hours to find.
Don’t get them mixed up with a rock.
What will happen will not be good
REX & TAPEJARA TEK SADDLES CAN EFFECTIVELY KILL ROCK GOLEMS UPDOOT SO BOBS AND NOT BOBS KNOW HOW TO KILL THES E DOUCHEBAGS
Rock Elementals hate spike walls. They will get stuck on them and destroy your entire base.
Oh a rock, I'll hit that with my pick for some stone. Oh hello mr rock element.........
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.
Just wandering how many doedicarous's will i need to kill the golem?
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!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
