The Ice Elemental is a large, mineral-eating variant creature. It excels at harvesting a wide range of resources from nodes using its melee and swipe attacks. Players tame it primarily for its exceptional gathering efficiency across multiple high-tier materials. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.
It does not breed and must be tamed via knockout. Its inventory reduces weight for several key resources, enhancing transport logistics when paired with flying carriers.

Tame the Ice Elemental using knockout methods. Use a Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow with Tranq Arrows to sedate it safely. The best food is Sulfur, which provides the fastest taming affinity. Clay can also be used if Sulfur is unavailable. The process takes around 503 minutes and requires approximately 407 Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.
