This helped me tame my first ever rock elemental on an unofficial server I play on. Thank you so much! Now I don't have to be afraid of dying by it when I leave my base
I just want to say I loved this video, it was quick easy and right to the point. I hate how other ark players taming videos are 15+ minutes long. Thanks! Well done.
I always knew that splash damage from the final shot was causing the problem but despite numerous attempts i never managed to design a trap that stopped it.. Genius Cap :)
Amazing. Been playing this game religiously for years. This was the most useful video I’ve ever seen. No stupid intro. No nonsense. To the point and super informative. Subbed. Thank you.
2 things this works perfectly fine on non dedicated servers and still gets 100% and the other thing you want to put the irrigation pipe really far back on the sloped roofs so they dont break from the cannon shots
I have a mobile trap system... paraceratherium platform saddles; put one foundation on back, place ceiling on it, go under belly, look up, place pillars from below till they reach the ground, place 'X' of ceilings on pillar bottom near ground, attach foundations to underside of ceilings - now the structure is self supporting and you can remove parts visible on top of platform, and the ceilings on the bottom platforms. now you have a ground level mobile platform to build on that also counts as a shelter (platform saddle counts as a roof, bottom pillar is a floor, surrounding platforms act as walls) if you wrap paracer's legs in metal walls it becomes INVISABLE to wild dinos unless you step on them, because it's "inside" a metal base... this is the basis of all my "Siege-Wendell" and "Trap-Darla" builds (I name all my paracers "wendell" and "darla") an armor-plated siege-wendell carrying 4 rock golems and a daeodon is a force to be reckoned with on either side of a raid battle xD this works on quetz platforms too, but you have build with it sitting on a catwalk up off the ground. since the structures will clip through the ground, you can build a "basket" you can use to carry dinos too big to carry any other way - just practice slowly swooping in and dipping the platform under the ground and swooping up to scoop them onto the platform... if your server has the unaligned base setting turned on so non tribe people and dinos won't slide off, you can use this to steal enemy dinos set to passive... wanna drown your enemies giga in the ocean? a long pillar, four platforms and some fences
For goodness sake Dovahrex, it's only been a few days since I started it, wasn't much of a wait, I normally make people wait months if not years for videos I promise! (Just messing with you btw) Thank you very much :)
y with the patented fatdog trap you can find a swat spot where it cant hit u and u can hit it with a club ( i look at dura of the club to see when im hitting it), takes about 1-2 min to knock 150 lvl and it just stands there, then I just insta tame it (i loot at "smart breeder app" to know how many times I need to hit ) all in all 5-10min after joining server ii have argi :)
I was going to link this in our discord, but I think ill just link your whole channel. Every video is as innovative as the next. You deserve more recogintion from Wildcard(Yes you won a ball of poo, but like a community crunch section or something!)
That's very kind of you, thanks! I'm not too fussed about recognition from wildcard or from the masses of players. I just make my videos for the players that matter like you.

Pretty well done mate. Got splash once but second tame it worked like a champ. This honestly beats how many resources I was going to use for the trap I thought up. Lol Good shit!
@@captainfatdogthanks for the heart bro. I have a question if you dont mind. I tried to build this trap but the golem destroys the metal pipes and tap with his rocks. And I've lost like 2 cannons to them already lol. How do you get them to stay still for the headshots? Do you have to be in agro range?
@@mohsinopiani fyi if your tap is getting destroyed it's your cannon shot... buuuuuut, see his v2 video for one without a tap that works just fine using walls instead
Amazing design. Was wondering why the Elemental didn't run away though? The trap I used had to have a back built to it because they would constantly run off when they were about to knock out.
Thanks. That will happen if the structures are blocking the line of sight between you and the golem. This was designed to minimalize the obstruction so that it keeps aggro throughout.
MAN I was really looking for one these bad boys BUT I couldn't find one, like max level. I play on ragnarok, and I was just flying around with my snow owl then a max lv of these fellas throw a rock at me and I was totally surprised because it was near of the volcano Wyvern trench. I was totally blown away BUT thanks to your video I got this bad boy Regirock with me and tamed to lv224 THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH
captain fatdog - ARK: Building Tips so stop making the the video and editing so straight forward and clear 😂 the main reason why this tutorial is so good is because all you need is in it, it has nice editing cuts and all that. And you put this in less than 2 and a half minutes where some youtubers would make it 10. You dont do stupid shit like “hey guys whatsupp in this video” and then looking for one and then having trouble to get it in and then talk about other crap...

Theres been a way around the final shot it's more time consuming and expensive but I've tested and works. Use a catapult for the final shot.

Supreme ingenuity! Where do you get such ideas?
Just a lot of experimenting
Thank you so much i have been trying to tame it for like a year
If the rock element stays agged on and does not turn around and walk out of trap, then this is great. But pretty sure they turn around.
No, they stay aggrod throughout and even if they do lose aggro they just stay in the same position and attack the structures
U are a legend! Thx 4 your videos!
