Taming Rock Elementals on Ragnarok

[SiphonedSoul]

Is anyone else having issues knocking them out? Rockets are just killing them. When they're hit in the head with a rocket they aren't doing their animation where they grab their head either. Is this Ragnarok specific maybe?

[YEET]

are you sure they arent ~falling~ ? they wont take torps if they are and rockets often do kill em... cannons are best

[SiphonedSoul]

Not sure. They appear to have a solid standing.

use the cannon and cannon ball thats the best way to knock them out. same principle as with the titans. so aim for the head.

[SiphonedSoul]

I know that's the "best" method but I'm garbage doing solo cannon tames. I know it can be done with rockets practically just as easy if not easier. But it just isn't working.

[SiphonedSoul]

Any ideas?

[[FBI]-Gizardpuke]

no idea. there might be a bug that means they are taking more explosive damage for some reason. e.g. i found out yesterday that caves are bugged in ragnarok atm and structures are taking 36x damage instead of 6x.

[SiphonedSoul]

See now, that makes sense. I wonder if the rock elementals are being grouped into that system somehow

tbh ive never been able to knock one out with RL- they always die lol cannons are the only way ive successfully done it.

yea rockets for some reason dont knock em out u gotta use cannons i had the same issue so i switched to cannons

i have a nagging feeling that WC changed something soon after SE came out as thats how people were knocking RE's out. it was too easy so i have a "feeling" they reduced the rockets torpor effect on them.

The fact is where you fire a rocket with a launcher on rock elemental on Ragnarok, the golem never get the animation that shows it takes torpor. I haven't checked with a magnifying glass to see if torpor was applied or not but it doesn't look like. Haven't tried the cannon yet.

[HawthornThistleberry]

Rockets haven't been doing torpor on rock elementals on SE for a long time either. It's all cannons now. No one knows if it's a known bug or an unknown bug or a design decision though.

where on Ragnarok can you tame Rock-Elementals? Or do you use mods?

[Areztristan]

Get an animal that can tank and bring a lot of cannon balls and your good
