How do I kill a rockwell? rockwell battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Wait, is he the same Rockwell from the explorer notes?
Having a high damage shotgun is the difference between life and death I used my Mastercraft compound bow with 195% weapon damage with 200 arrows plus 1 ascendant long neck rifle with 100 bullets and I stood no chance and lost mr woawawa my level 200 drake who I raised from a level 140 egg who was my best friend on gamma Rockwell I overestimated the difficulty of getting the artifacts and underestimated Rockwell. ^ ^ ^ to show your respect and give your condolence to me and mr woawawa
The boss Rockwell is the same Rockwell from his explorer notes after he raided another tribe he found an element and fed it to his bulbdog and it killed it and he costumed it and It mutated him and turned him into Rockwell. Also I have a crush on Helena.
SCP 7214, also known as Rockwell, came from the depths of a curious place that is SCP 7214-1, or more commonly referred to as Aberration. The “Aberration” was created from the corrupting of SCP 7214-A, known as Edmund Rockwell. Aberration is also an underground tele-porter that has been overtaken by the mushrooms in the area. To summon SCP 7214, you need to climb deep into Aberration. While there, you need to be cautious of SCP 7215, the Reaper, SCP 7216, the Rock Drake, and SCP 7217, the Nameless. When SCP 7217 is near other anomalies, one is chosen as alpha and begins a mutation, making it rapidly grow all of its muscles and giving it a glowing orange color. Once you avoid all threats, proceed to an iron terminal. From there, you need to put parts of animals that can be found in Aberration into the terminal, as well as collect ancient metal forms called artifacts. Once done, press the button on the top of the terminal and you and your animals will be teleported to his arena. Once he senses you are there, SCP 7214 will climb out of the purple acid and summon SCP 7214-B, known as Rockwell tentacles. While attacking, he will show no mercy to any living thing while you attack SCP 7214 and SCP 7214-B. Once defeated, he retreats into the acid and waits to be landed on Earth via Extinction Ascension. From there, SCP 7214 teleports into the Genesis ship, where he becomes SCP 7214-C, also known as Rockwell Prime. You need to go to a terminal inside of his corruption with HLN-A and attack him afterwards. Once defeated, the Genesis ship begins to dismantle and explode, most often taking HLN-A with him. I hope you liked the SCP story about Rockwell and have a good morning, day, or night.
I’m fighting Rockwell with a single max level drake with me luck!
Heres a tip- if u go into the bosses arena and forcetame it.... you'll be stuck there forever bc the boss gotta die in order for u to leave. :) hit de good button so more peeps can see
Guys! This rockwell is the same rockwell as sir edmund rockwell from the explorer notes! He just turned into some scary piece of shit
He got a obsession with element and became a monster. After he was banished by mei yin and helana he took the place of the overseer and became part of ark. Once u beat king titan on alpha difficulty he says I’m coming for u on earth. Theri : he’s the one who grabbed one of the ark stations if I’m wrong plz tell me
GLITCH - I am playing Ascended on PS5. I spent ages breeding a strong army of Megalos, 400 shotgun shells on a decent gun and a drake.
I shot all the tentacles and instead of exposing his heart, all the tentacles just respawned again seconds later. This left no opportunity to actually land a hit on Rockwell.
My character then died. Bullshit.
To kill him.......BRING 5 GIGAS,20 REAPERS,3 TITANASUARS,1 ICE TITAN,1 DESERT TITAN,1 FOREST TITAN,9 BASILISKS AND YOU'LL BE GOOD TO GO! of you can bring 1 force tamed NAMELESS!
Use a high level drake with lots of stam, (dont waste your time leveling up damage on your drake, it will be used for running) an ascendant shotgun with lots of shells, extra hazmat, and a buttload of Megalosaurus for actually fighting him. (The shotgun and drake are for fighting the tentacles)
How the frick did he hack the genisis simulation how'd he even get out of his battle arena to hack the genisis simulation I thought he couldn't hack because of his tenticals and he has no arms pls tell me how he did it.
He sniffed up too much element and became this high monster
Yes he is the same Rockwell :)
I'm reading the top, does this one person not know you can only bring 20 tamed?
Roll Rat army and he will not survive

Sincerely Tek_Reaper
I had been playing aberration for about two months. After plenty of grinding, I foolishly thought “Oh hey, I have some really high level dinos, and I bet i’m probably strong enough to defeat Rockwell!” I was wrong. I was so very wrong. I brought my level 124 reaper king, Venom, my level 132 rock drake, Drake, two other slightly other lower level rock drakes, Rocky and Deborah, and my two basilisks, Nesse and Toxin. I made it all the way to the terminal (with no deaths). I had brought some very high level armor (mastercraft and ascendant) and I decided to go with gamma just to test how hard Rockwell was. When I entered the arena I switched from my hazard suit to my good armor and hoped on Venom (my reaper). I realized something was off. Rockwell had spawned in with four sets of tentacles merged together in each pillar of tentacles. This meant that there was 4 times the number of attacks, 4 times the number of weird death orbs, and absolutely no chance for my dinos. Nesse and Toxin got smashed into the ground by a tentacle and died immediately. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the arena was already swarming with reaper kings and nameless. Don’t those usually only come after the second time Rockwell goes down? So my two lower level drakes got surrounded and absolutely murdered by reaper kings. At this point it was only me, Venom, and Drake. Drake valiantly stood my side and held off as much reaper kings as he could until his last breath while me and Venom were trying to take out as many tentacles as we could. There was no hope. Two reaper kings attacked me from the front and blocked Venom from moving. The volley of around 40 death orbs that I had been running away from the entire time caught up with me and one shotted Venom. I was thrown onto the ground and the last thing I saw before being ended was 4 glitched merged tentacles approaching my face. RIP Venom, Drake, Rocky, Deborah, Toxin and Nesse 😭 😭
For those who aren’t already aware, the fight is currently bugged on Ascended. While there are element rewards, they are unavailable because it instantly starts the ascension cutscene when he dies. The cutscene also will cause you to randomly die sometimes. I don’t recommend doing the fight until this is fixed.
His Tentacles have 3.800 HP on Gamma, 8.500 on Beta and 15.250 on Alpha. So if you want to be able to destroy them with one clip you need a pump-action shotgun with at least 581.3% Damage and about 300 shots on Gamma, 400-450 on Beta and about 500-550 on Alpha if you use the shotgun exclusively for the destruction of the tentacles.
I also recommend a fast hun such as a pistol to destroy the homing balls that come for you, the damage is irrelevant for them.
Cactus Broth is also very good as it makes all creatures completely ignore you unless you attack them or get too close.
