Can rexes kill rock elementals?

[Edward Blom]

I had my 3 rexes biting a level 8 rock elemental for 15 minutes now and he isn't dying! Can they only be killed by bullets/explosives and not my other tamed dinos?

In vanilla... There is a problem. Rock elemental, if wild, has 25k HP and takes no damage from tamed dinos, and wild ones will not fight it. However, tamed rock elementals can be damaged by tamed dinos(50%dmg), and go from 25k base hp to 3k, so they are fairly mortal.

You can't kill rock elementals unless it's a 100+ and you're trying to tame it. They're effectively invulnerable if you don't want them, but they're super fragile if you do want them, they drop like tissue paper to non-headshot cannonfire.

A lot like direbears. If you're lvl 15 and can't get away from one, they're immortal. If you want to tame it, it will die like a pansy from tranq arrows before you can get darts lol.

This is false. I have killed rock elementals with tamed dinos on an un-modded server. The thing is that the wild rock elementals take immensely reduced damage from dinos (90%, I believe). Combined with ttheir enormous base HP, it takes very long for any dino to take them down. But it IS possible.

Yes, a Rex can kill a Rock Elemental. I have with a 100+ before tamed Rex. It took awhile and had to rest the Rex 3 times to get its stam back up, but yes, a Rex can kill a Rock Elemental.

Damn Gricer it sure has been a long time man! Brings me back to the days before the appendix hit the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥... I was one of Triceraflop's friends(he currently goes by the alyas Yutyrannus) as well as Snoopy Sniper's, Dinu.cristea's among several others. If you cannot recognise the name, it is my, Kirito. I remember the time where you calced how much a theropod of 36m proportioned like a 12yo Tyrannosaurus rex. Wasn't it like 90 tonnes or something along those lines? I know that you used the square cube law to get it done.

[Go Canada!]

Ive killed lots of them with my Battle Argy, just takes a few minutes to do it like they say , they only take 50% dmg

Long time no see, Kirito! Those were the good old days.

As for the weight, 90 tonnes sounds way too light. For a sauropod of that length it would be reasonable, but theropods are much less enlongated. A theropod of that length would probably be at around twice that weight.

Ah ok, shows my memory. xD You had said 180 tonnes in the big reply-post but I confused that if it was Sue proportions(because you did talk about both).

You CAN KILL ELEMENTALS WITH DINOS! A group of Allosaurus with An Alpha and Beta can kill them fairly quickly due to the bleedout attack the Alphas get. (This is nerfed dino stats combat, not pre-nerf)

You hate it so much you didn't read the replies that say this isn't true.

As the others politely corrected me, wild ones take 90% reduced damage from dinos and wild dinos will never aggro on one, even if they are hit. They are a dangerous foe in PvE when someone kites them to your base...

I have said it before and i will say it again, don't believe EVERTHING you read on the internet. Fact is YES your tamed dinos do damage rock elementals however there is a reason for why they "seem" like they don't do squat to it. It's a creature that consists of solid rock so it has a damage mitigation modifier which means realistically while it seems like you're tamed dino's are NOT doing any damage to it truthfully your tamed dino's are only doing a tiny percentage of what there total damage values are which i believe is only like 10% of their total damage values. I have heard that the damage mitigation when it comes to elementals doesn't mean squat when set on fire by a fire wyvern though however i can't attest to how true that is. Best and easiest way to take em out though is through explosive damage or like i said with the fire wyverns special attack. Not shure about lightning though as i have to really test it to be shure.

Anyways hope this sheds some light on things.

You can kill rock elementals with Dinos, I've done it with a Rex, you only do 10% with Dinos.

Imprinted rexes are faster... At doing it...
And as stated above, Allosaur with their bleed that does 5% of health over 5s is the best dino alternative to Giga and Titan in Golem eating.
