To find a Rock Elemental in ARK: Survival Evolved, search in rocky areas like mountains or caves. To tame one, use cannons or catapults to weaken it. Once weakened, throw explosive barrels near it to damage and eventually knock it out. Feed it sulfur or sulfur powder to tame it.
Finding Rock Elemental
In ARK: Survival Evolved, Rock Elementals can be found in various locations across different maps. One of the common places to find them is in the Scorched Earth map. They usually spawn in the rocky and mountainous regions of the map. However, they can also be found in other maps like Ragnarok and Extinction. In Ragnarok, they tend to spawn in the mountainous regions and rocky areas, while in Extinction, they can be found in the wastelands and desert biomes.
Preparation and Equipment
Before attempting to tame a Rock Elemental, it is essential to be well prepared. Rock Elementals are formidable creatures with high resistance to most types of damage. To effectively tame them, you will need specific equipment and resources. One of the key items you will need is a cannon or catapult to propel boulders at the Rock Elemental, as this is the most effective way to deal damage to them. Additionally, you will need a decent supply of cannonballs or boulders to use as ammunition.
It is also advisable to have a high-level creature, preferably a dinosaur like a T-rex or a Giganotosaurus, to tank the damage from the Rock Elemental while you focus on taming it. These creatures can help distract the Rock Elemental and prevent it from attacking you directly. Moreover, having a solid supply of food and water is crucial, as taming a Rock Elemental can be a time-consuming process.
Taming Process
The first step in taming a Rock Elemental is to find one in the wild. Once you have located a Rock Elemental, the next step is to aggro it and lead it to a safe location where you can begin the taming process. Make sure to have your cannon or catapult ready, along with a decent supply of ammunition. Position yourself at a safe distance from the Rock Elemental and start firing boulders at it using the cannon or catapult.
It is important to aim for the head of the Rock Elemental, as this is its weak spot and will result in more damage. Keep firing boulders at the Rock Elemental until it becomes unconscious. Once the Rock Elemental is unconscious, you can begin the taming process by placing the required taming food in its inventory. Rock Elementals prefer certain types of resources as taming food, such as sulfur or metal ingots, so make sure to have these on hand.
While the Rock Elemental is being tamed, it is crucial to keep an eye on its torpor level to ensure it does not wake up before the taming process is complete. You may need to administer additional torpor-inducing substances like narcotics or bio toxins to keep the Rock Elemental unconscious throughout the taming process.
Completion and Care
Once the taming bar is full and the Rock Elemental is successfully tamed, you will have a powerful ally at your disposal. Rock Elementals are incredibly resilient creatures with high health and damage output, making them valuable assets in battles and resource gathering. To ensure the well-being of your tamed Rock Elemental, it is important to provide it with a stable food supply and shelter.
Rock Elementals are immune to most types of damage, except for ranged attacks using high-velocity projectiles. Therefore, it is crucial to place them in a secure enclosure to protect them from potential threats. Regularly check on your Rock Elemental to make sure it is well-fed and in good health. With proper care and attention, your Rock Elemental will prove to be a valuable addition to your tribe in ARK: Survival Evolved.
