Taming a Rock Elemental (Golem)

[Conan of Oz]

I've watched YouTubers show how to use rocket launchers. I've watched them use Cannons.

I've also read comments here that suggest something significant recently changed. TRocket launchers no longer work?

I can't seem to get the cannon method to work either. I'm guessing I'm having aiming issues -- hitting them in places other than the head too much -- and they are dying on me.

Any tips on improving accuracy, or how to set up your "trap" to better facilitate accurate headshots?

Is there any other method that currently works?

find or build higher than them so you know when your blasting them its mostly headshots

Well, since writing my first queery, I found the easiest method.

A Tapejara fitted with a Tek saddle. The Tek weapon on the saddle does the trick very well. The maneuverability of the Tapejara makes it easy to aim and avoid getting hit.

If you want to try this, you need to load up the Tek Element (ammo for the gun) into your Tapejara's inventory.

You must have the Tapejara Tek Saddle engram. Even if someone gives you one, you can ride the Tapejara, but you won't be able to fire the guns.

On PC: Left-Ctrl activates the "aiming helmet" (will give you a pair of crosshairs). LMB fires.

I just knocked out and tamed 2 golems -- very easy now!
