Shaudeuken Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Tribe is gearing up for this what is the easiest way to complete. Currently we are looking at running drakes and megas. will have 360+ shotguns and 25k ish drakes with 70+ saddles then just megas up front. We will have 10 people for the fight. Will that be enough? what else are people running that is successful? we all have a couple characters we need to run through the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demerus Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 no light pets? if you get webbed by reapers you can get overwhelmed very quickly if you aren't careful. As long as the group sticks together, shoot the tentacles while moving and paying attention to electrified tentacles ahead, the run should go fine.

Shaudeuken Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Ya we will each have a light pet and the essential gear (flak meds etc) just haven't really seen it run a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestest Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 some would have to do without a lightpet as 10 drakes and 10 lightpets already count towards the 20 tame limit, since you wanted to take megalo's in aswell proposedly to tank the balls some dino's would be left out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen some people let stegos run around on aggressive wander to "entertain" the reapers that spawn in. is that viable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jopis Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 how about if take megas in cryo, and take out in arena, then can exceed dino limit in arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use megalo's at the front, not to fight anything but just to take off a portion of the red balls, there is no point in actualy fighting the mobs taht spawn they will continuously respawn anyway, better to rush tentacles.

flamron Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 9 hours ago, invincibleqc said: You can't throw pods in boss battles. Untrue. I won’t say what fight or what dino, but it is absolutely possible to pod a dino and throw it in a boss arena. For Alpha Rockwell, we just used 280+ shotguns. 7 riders with 70+ armor and 18-20k HP drakes sit in the spawn area and spread out. 3 riders move around Rockwell shooting the outer tentacles. When the last tentacle goes down, the 7 middle riders unload until it drops while the 3 fly back. Rinse and repeat. Done in 5-6 rounds. The front 7 also shoot gas balls and deal with reapers as needed. Take 450 shells each and a light pet. We use max armor flak too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balteraxe Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Not sure if I'm allowed to link video's here, but have a video that might help you with preparing for the fight. If it's not allowed, than I'm sorry and I'll edit the post. Got here a succesfull Alpha Rockwell, also have a failed one my list, you could learn from our mistakes :).

HawkZoned Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 4 Stego riders in the middle with Veg Cakes 3 Drake riders on Left and Right side respectively. Everyone has a Light Pet, Med Brews, high dura/armor Flak and a 250+ dmg Pump Shotgun with 350+ shells. Drake riders start in the back and work their way back to the front. One the last Tentacle is down everyone goes ham with the shotguns. Rinse and repeat until dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamron Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Manas are the best way to run now. Makes all fights a cakewalk. We crushed alpha dragon with two manas, and beat alpha rag in record time with a couple in the mix. Manticore is no match. Rockwell is no match either. Five riders will demolish it quickly.

MirageUK Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 We did all levels of Rockwell using good pump shotguns, mounted on the shoulders of monkeys - max 4 man but also done solo. Run n gun!.. not stopping for anything. Run around, avoid/jump over enemies and blast the tentacles.. then return to center to blast his heart.

Deadluck Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Ok so the meta on small tribes is as followed... 6 people on stegos with lightpets and shotguns 2 go to the left, 2 go to the right, 2 stay more at the front. everyone needs to shotgun the boss when its time. It is a very very very easy boss fight, dont waste time on rock drakes it will only complicate everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tribe had ran a lot without issues of it, and I believe others does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you use the Charge Lanterns in the Rockwell arena, instead of light pets. We were thinking of running the same 10/20 combo (1 drake each person/10 Megas). So my assumption would go to the charge lanterns. This is why I'm here right now in the first place to find out if we can drop down Charge lanterns ? We can have them in out hotbar but we'll be busy shooting. If you have an answer in the next 48 hours, it would be very helpful. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I can see that working... never thought of the big dude in that kind of fight but yeah, makes sense. And if you're in trouble he could just toss you away from the fray. Man, I'm surprised that hasn't been recorded yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take managarmrs into any boss fights, just keep in mind it's almost practically useless in Rockwell with the exception of using it against nameless and reapers, as the breath does not work against Rockwell nor the tentacles.
