What is a rock elemental used for? rock elemental battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Rock elementals are extremely tough to kill or knockout. Over encumbering them inside or around your base and setting them to aggressive allows them to defend your base with their rock throw attack without being kited away by enemies.

Rock Elemental can take a lot of hits reducing damage by 50% from all non-blunt damage. A TAMED Rock Elemental can NOT fight a wild one. It works the same as a Giga so I would advice against it.
Uhhhh my rock golem doesnt collect flint. So I guess it isnt a top 10 flint collector.
You can put a rock golem on a quetzal platform saddle
Use to kill alpha wyverns as they are immune to the fire attack and take reduced damage from the bite attack
the Rock elemental is an excellent fighter against most Dino's due to the fact that it's mostly only weak to blunt attacks, Making it a perfect mount for patrolling or hunting death worms.
Nobody noticed that it has the same animations as the giganthopithicus?
Keep in mind that these dinos are completely immune to all elemental damage, so agains Wyverns of any type they will take no damage from breath attacks and very little damage from bite attacks.
Rock golems take no damage from elemental attacks, lava and take a 50% damage reduction from bites without a saddle, making them perfect wyvern killers. They also can’t be grabbed by tusos, and have no oxygen tank so they’re good squid killers, just bear in mind they can’t swim up so you’re probably not gonna be able to get your golem back.
It can disguise itself as a rock tamed or not
Rock Elementals actually gain a lot of experience from harvesting rocks. This way of leveling is only viable for newly takes elementals though cuz they don't need as much exp to level up.
Rock elementals CANNOT harvest METAL or OBSIDIAN. Dododex please fix this.
If our tribe goes egg-stealing, we always have at least two tribe members on Golems at the edge of World's Scar. When he stealer flies away, the Golems agro the wyverns and kill them all (immune to elemental attacks) for TONS of free milk
By adding ramps on a paracer platform saddle, you can exploit a glitch that makes the elemental's weight not affect the paracer. You can use this to gather massive amounts of materials. (Have one person drive the paracer, while someone else rides the elemental and harvests)
thay are great for tanking bullets
Pretty much the giga of scorched earth. Can damage stone, which is nice in pvp. It can throw rocks. This does massive damage to creatures, but does none to structures. Be aware of homing rockets though. If your opponent uses homing rockets, then it doesn't take too much to kill it. If you're not using it actively, you can also disguise it as a rock and put it somewhere around your base. This is a death trap for any raiders coming to attack you!
I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding or what but at least in my experience they Rock Golem does not collect flint or metal from rock and metal nodes. This was disappointing to me. On the other hand they are still good because they can dual harvest both wood and stone unlike the doed. Though I would prefer if they had the weight bonus which they do not
Use this beast in a raid soak up all turrets walk backwards as u may get shot off
All non blunt force/ explosive damage is reduced to half. To add to that, with a primitive saddle, all damage is reduced so it takes about 30% damage. Always have it disguised as a rock around your base. It works better than a vault in several different situations. (For ALL smaller bases)
