More about taming the Rock Elemental
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Rock Elemental at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Rock Elemental at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Rock Elemental unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.33 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.

To tame the Rock Elemental, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Sulfur for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
