How do I kill a rockwell? rockwell battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To The guy fighting Rockwell with a mad level drake your are so dead but good luck
Use cactus broth and ghillie armor (there is no radiation) to ignore enemies. Then, run around on foot with a high quality shotgun or sword. Alpha difficulty may cause time limit complications, so consider bringing friends or mindwiping for melee to delete him in a few minutes.
To beat him just use spinos rock drakes or reapers
Use the most powerful weapon ever, el roll rat
easiest boss you just need a shotty hella ammo hella cactus broth and stay close to the edge from there shoot the tentacles
Using Rock drakes in boss battle is great.You just need a rock drake and a shotgun
Just saying u will die a painful death
The main thing is to be PERPAIRED for this fight. One peraon can do him solo. Make sure u have these items beforehand:
25 cacti soup
30 battle tarte and shadow steak
Some water 2-3 cant.
And dont be shy when coming to ammo. ALWAYS take plenty . The higher shotgun dmg% the better youll be if u feel ok about it take another peron or another shotgun with u.
Stay close to the inner walls and ALWAYS watch your surroundings. Stray reapers or nameless can walk onto u witb liitle warning by his round 3-4
For those of you asking if this is the Rockwell from the notes, I suggest reading all the explorer notes (or at least the Aberration ones) and those will explain everything. They’re all on the wiki and there are also some fabulous google docs out there with them. And hey, if you don’t want to read, there are plenty of YouTube videos.
I’m surprised no one knows the actual timeline in ark. first the island then scorched earth, aberration, extinction, genesis part 1, (and probably genesis part 2)
Make sure your light pet has lots of health, the element balls its fires will damage all you on your mount and your light pet too, made my fight with him an absolute chore.
Very ez to solo just have cactus broth, shotgun, sniper and your all good no tames needed😁👍
now Rockwell is much simpler than before. View that now we can reproduce the rock drakes,So you can do stat mutations to beat Rockwell, and combined with Megalosaurs with their overnight stat boosts, Rockwell can be done super easily.
After enough damage Rockwell summons reapers and nameless have one light pet per player
You need to avoid balls while attune tentacles bring rock drakes I think they do multi passenger
You need to kill tentacles bring lots of pump shotgun ammo and an army of megalosaurus or reaper if you wish
The battle may take long bring 2-3 canteens and 1-2 stacks of cooked meat
I hope this prepares you for the fight but if not load extra
Rockwell resipies squid mutation
Theory Rockwell when you kill him he is ejected from the machine in monster form and he waits outside your machine to kill you
Since the latest patch, he’s been more.... let’s say.... talkative.
U need at least 3 player on foot for alpha
1x set of good flak each
2x pump with more than 230% each
3x cactusbroth each
1x bulldog each (but only if the nameless or reaper attacks u)
1x cryopod to cryo ur bulldog after defeating Rockwell
500x shotgun ammo each
Maybe some medical brew
And u good 2 go
So to my knowledge since people struggle with his attacks you can break the pink plasma balls by shooting them
How to Beat RockWell 1.Get your best weapon (ranged) 2.Bring Supplies Examples A light pet Cactus broth A shotgun With a couple 100 shotgun shells 3.Stand on the Dock In front of Rockwell Shoot his tentacles And then kill him Cactus Broth Will keep Reapers and nameless from aggroing to you but If The Creatures do aggro onto you The light pet will weaken them(Light Pets only weaken Nameless)
