Overview
The Rock Elemental is a large, mineral-diet creature serving as a Soaker. It reduces the weight of gathered resources while providing high resistance to most damage types. This makes it ideal for resource farming in hazardous areas where durability matters.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.

More about taming the Rock Elemental
Tame the Rock Elemental using knockout methods. Use Sulfur as the best food, with Clay as a secondary option due to moderate affinity. Expect to use around 553 Sulfur and 407 Narcotics during the process. The tame takes about 503 minutes.
Use a Bow with Tranq Arrows, a Longneck Rifle, or a Tek Bow for effective sedation. A Tripwire Narcotic Trap can help immobilize it.
