Rockwell — Detailed Guide

Rockwell is the Aberration boss: Sir Edmund Rockwell, mutated by Element. He fights from an Element pool with tentacles and minions, and beating him ascends you and unlocks Tek engrams. He comes in Gamma, Beta and Alpha difficulties.

Where to find it

The arena is reached through the Obelisk or Terminal on Aberration, in ASA and ASE. Most outside creatures cannot enter Aberration, so plan your team from creatures native to the map.

How to get one

He cannot be tamed. To start the fight at Gamma, a survivor needs level 60 and the Artifacts of the Depths, Shadows and Stalker.

Uses

Gamma drops Element, the Rockwell Flag and the Gamma trophy, and unlocks the Tek Sleeping Pod among other Tek items.

Tips

  • Tentacles: destroy all of them first, then hit his exposed heart while he is stunned.
  • Orbs: Element orbs chase tames and survivors and can be shot down.
  • Minions: Nameless join in stage 2 and Reaper Kings in stage 3. Charge light helps kill them.
  • Ascension: stash your items in a tame's inventory before the kill.
