For you guys that are wondering, yes, this is the same Rockwell from the explorer notes. He injected himself with liquid element after becoming obsessed with element, and transformed into the hideous thing he is now.

If this doesn’t scream don’t do drugs then idk what does

Considering he’s a boss, there’s not much utility to him, other than getting bonus levels from Aberrant Ascensions.

Though if you think about it, Rockwell (before at least) had a ton of utility. He made all of the cooking recipes (as suggested by the Rockwell notes that are somehow everywhere), and it’s heavily implied that he made a good portion of the technology available to you in Aberration.

Still, what a sad and twisted way to go for probably my favourite character in all of ARK: Survival Evolved’s storyline.

ROCKWELL PRIME SHOULD BE ON DODODEX!

Can be defeated on foot. You need a pump shotgun with 230% damage roughly, 400-500 bullets and most importantly cactus broth to make sure no wild creatures attack you

To be honest I believe that the reason Rockwell injected element into himself was because he was scared and paranoid that other scientists like Helena and wanted to prove himself better it's kinda sad either way

...Silly Survivor

Kill it before it kills you your welcome in advance (up doot if it helps you[it probably wont])

So to tame him u just go up and punch him bc he very chill and to show him who is the boss. And feed him mejoberrys for max effectiveness.

Bring a lot of shotgun amo. Also you will need good shot guns

Uhh, why is the Rockwell boss under the “ragnarok” category??? Is he a new boss or something? I think this is a bug...
