Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rock elemental? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rock elemental.
It can destroy metal and can run found that out the hard way
Tried to tame one with stone, ended up taming a Giga while waiting
Whoever tames this thing with stone is a mad man
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.
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.
If you have a level 9999 and use stone and are on 0.01 times taming it takes 80 years....
If you tame it with stone you will end up taming a giagantosaurus with cooked fish meat
ROCKET LAUNCHER WORKS AIM AT THE HEAD AND WAIT FOR IT TO GO UNCONSCIOUS I JUST SUCCEEDED AT TAMING ONE WITH THIS
Me: hits it with canon ball trying to nick it out
Golem: u should have aimed for the head( dies)
Dino ID is if I remember correctly golem or rock golem. Do what you wish with this information.
You need two times more kibble as written down in die the app
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.
Should I tell u how to easily tame one of these?
Well here how it starts!
FORCE TAME
There u go!
Just use an slingshot and walk backwards
I think there should be a metal golem which is stronger and harder to tame. Maybe it could collect metal only and more effectively than anything else. ps. It’s just some idea I came up with in my spare time
For some reason, after the latest update, X-rock elementals (haven't checked other variants) are no longer tameable. Whenever you knock them out, they don't eat and don't have a taming bar. Forcetame also doesn't affect them, so I believe it's a glitch
Gigas are Breedable but not rock golems? Why? Who thinks that these should get a movement speed buff when tamed and should be breedable. My Idea is that when you feed a large amount of metal or obsidian or a very large amounnt of stone to a mate boosted rock golem it will generate this golem soul stone and what you do is you bulid a stone structure roughly the size of a golem and drop the soul stone onto it , it will crumble and turn into a pill of rocks that will incubate and crack apart to form a fully grown rock golem.
Use cannon balls or rockets and aim for the head. His favorite food is extraordinary kibble
Trust me you will want to make sure you are really prepared for taming this beast it will take a long time
