Recommended Tames:

  • Survivor with full Tek Armor, powerful Shotgun/Assault Rifle, Medical Brews
  • Optional: 1-2x High-level, imprinted Spinos (for clearing nameless and damaging tentacles)
  • Optional: 1x Rock Drake (for mobility, but survivor is primary damage dealer)

Strategy:

The Rockwell fight is unique as you primarily fight on foot. You must destroy Rockwell's tentacles, which are his weak points, while avoiding his attacks and the summoned Nameless. Tek Armor is almost mandatory for the survivor due to the environmental hazards and mobility. Use your Rock Drake or Spino to navigate the arena and clear Nameless. Focus your shotgun fire on the tentacles. When Rockwell exposes his core, unleash all your damage. This fight requires constant movement, good aim, and careful management of your health and ammo. Spinos can be useful for clearing the Nameless and dealing damage to tentacles, but the survivor's direct damage is key.
