Rock Elemental — Detailed Guide

The Rock Elemental, called Rock Golem in ASA, is a slow, giant creature that eats minerals and disguises itself as a rock. It is a strong tank, siege unit and stone gatherer, but taming one takes heavy weapons.

Where to find it

It is notably frequent on Ragnarok in both games. It also spawns on Scorched Earth, Extinction, Lost Island, Crystal Isles and Genesis Part 2 in ASE, and on Scorched Earth, Astraeos, Genesis Part 1 and Extinction in ASA.

Taming

A knockout tame, but normal tranquilizers do not work. Only headshots with large projectiles add torpor: cannonballs work best, and rockets also work. Body hits can kill it, and wild ones take 90% less damage from attacks that are not explosive or armor-piercing. Feed it Sulfur or Extraordinary Kibble. The saddle unlocks at level 70.

Breeding

It cannot be bred.

Uses

  • Tank: takes 50% less damage from creatures.
  • Siege: Rock Throw damages stone structures.
  • Harvesting: gathers Stone and Wood well.
  • Wyvern eggs: it is immune to Wyvern breath.

Tips

It has no oxygen stat and walks on the sea floor, which makes it useful for underwater mining.
