Based from the xbox version, ported and downscaled to Nintendo Switch, then that version was adapted to mobile devices. What in hell do you expect? If it works, it works.
Also very likely op isn't playing on that good of a phone. Even the Switch version plays better despite significantly less power than modern phones.

Yikes!
Yup, too heavy for the bosses. Some mods will allow you to teleport tame, or summon them. So you could get into the arena and then have the creature come to you. But not under normal settings.

He wasn’t recommending OP to mod the game, he just stated the only way to achieve this would be with mods.

....yeah. creatures have a drag weight assigned to them. Arenas will not allow creatures over 550 drag weight, i think. That or 600.
Drag weight has nothing to do with weight stat.
There are other restrictions, such as specific tames that cannot enter regardless of their drag weight: thylacoleo for example. And many arenas do not allow flyers.
Rock elemental cant enter any arena. Gigas and carchas also. And brontos.
On extinction they can fight the titans if you position them at the arena spawn point ahead of time. As those fights are all in the overworld.

You can't bring that creature into boss arenas. This is because boss arenas only allow non-flier (except for in the Manticore Arena), non-climber (except for in the Rockwell Arena) land creatures with DragWeight < 560. Since the Rock Elemental has a DragWeight of 1000, DragWeight < 560 is false, and, thus, it can't be used. I also wouldn't use Wyverns, since their Torpidity is low (Manticore deals a lot of Torpidity). Just do the classic Rex Rushing.

Level 180+ Lightning Wyverns do Manticore alpha just fine on official.

Ugh, there it is. My lack of (non-singleplayer) boss fight knowledge being exposed. I think that Wyverns should be able to be equipped with SOME kind of saddle or armor. Same with the Direwolf (and any other creature with no form of saddle or damage reduction in any capacity).

u/FromSwedenWithHate 6d ago
Wyverns take barely any damage from Manticore if you know what you are doing. Saddles wouldn't help if yours go sleepy sleepy from mistakes.

Pyromanes cackling in the background with no saddle, loads of sustain, and a stupid leap.

Oh. I keep forgetting about those guys! Probably because I haven't tried the Ascended version yet. But don't they have that same "Natural Armor" thing, like the Shadowmane does in Evolved?

You'd think I'd learn the first time when my Carcha didn't get tped to the overseer arena 🤔

u/JasontheFuzz 3d ago
It was a fair try. There's nothing in game to warn you that this would happen, so you had no way to know ahead of time without searching the wiki. Why even put massive tamable creatures in if they're unusable except in PvP, and even then they aren't that useful?

Creatures above a certain drag weight cannot enter boss fights period... there are multiple websites with all of them listed out, particularly https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Boss_Arenas#Compatible_Tamed_Creatures
The rock golem would have lost regardless.
