Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rock elemental? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rock elemental.
X rock elementals are tame able
You can still use rockets to knock out a rock elemental, just make sure to position in on a blast shield so its body doesnt get extra damage and die while you hit it in the head with rockets.
For cheaters that use force tame:
Just set taming speed to 9999 so you get the expierence of taming without waiting
Boom everyones happy
You can easily knock one out but riding on an argentavis or a pteranodon just out of reach from the golem and having a friend shoot the golem
Make sure it can’t hit u then start using a catupalt
Just bring a platform saddled parcer with a cannon on it, have one more cannon incase, they are cheap.
Store all cannon balls on the parcer.
Put some sleeping bags down.
Put down a trap, lure it in, go to parcer, line up and headshot it.
Allways use extraordinary kibbles,they are the second easiest kibble to make anyway.
For safety, bring 2 heavies with 400 bullets and 4 batteries in each to cover yourself from raiders trying to steal it from you.
And ofc, bring a lvl 449 mana with good saddle and the whole pvp kit.
The best way to tame it on any map is use a flyer (or bloodstalker) put it right out of reach were your not to far to were it throws rocks but not to close were it hits you if you have a wingsuit glide away immiditly after dismounting the elemental will be focused on your flyer or bloodstalker. Try to set up a trap around it or just take the risk of knocking it with out a trap
it will eat your dreams if you don't take it on the first try
Em boys love spike traps if u have trouble aiming canon place spike wall to have it aggro that for a good headshot
Dododex is wrong, it only takes 11 cannonballs for a 150 and that's messed me up twice and I ended up with less taming effectiveness.
Does not take mantis kibble no more
Although wild card would most likely make this a passive tame, it is not.
I thought golems were gonna be hard as til now I got 5 and another one getting tame I'm so excited.
If you tame one, call it Pebbles, level it to 300 ( if possible), PvP, and proceed to server-wipe.
If you stone tame a 150 on official, you are legend
If you shoot rocky boi while trying to knock out he will lose taming effectiveness
Put 3 metal dino gates down in an open square and kite the golem into then use cannon to down
When knocking out a high level rock elemental, make sure the last shot is aimed from the side. When shooting straight into its head, the cannon ball goes through its head and deals extra damage to its body which will start the taming effectiveness 90% instead of 100% if it isn't done from the side on the last shot.
If the earth shakes and you see a moving rock. Don't try to tame it. Don't save your animals. Or your home. Just run.
Great for raiding with better than turtels for natural armor you can allso hide in its rock form with it while regenerating health try leaning forward into enemy structures or dinos to stop them from picking while sokeing you die leave I on neutral now just in case you get picked off better than letting defenders gang up on um -
