Take a bucket of water with you

i thought of that.. but they shoot fireballs through the ocean and fly high in the sky above you.. not sure that's possible. 

 

fucking flintlocks do like 10 damage to fire elementals and they heal it back in 0.5 seconds then oneshot u from 100 yards away while flying through the sky

When Ark bosses were first released, they one shot any dino with less then 5k HP, and had over 3 million HP each (On Alpha). They were literally impossible to kill.

The moral of the story is that Wildcard does not play or test their own content. It's very likely, just going by their history, that they have no idea that they're unkillable (As are many of the major PvE objectives atm), and that Wildcard does not (yet) know about it. In similar fashion to how Wildcard thought Ships of the Damned were perfectly balanced (As they said themselves they had been "Rigorously tested by our internal QA team", despite the fact that they aggro'd on anchor'd ships from out of render and drove through geometry (IE islands). 

Seeing as how no one has seen this game (Including wildcard) played at any major depth, before we got it, it's only natural for almost everything to be horrifically broken. Just have to give Wildcard time (Years) to fix stuff.

yeah only way i see being able to beat the powerstone islands is by cheesing it (standing on top of inaccessible rocks or flying around with glider suits)

 

or if you bring 50 people with good aim and carbine rifles to shoot at the same time.. as of right now, fire elementals seem impossible to kill even with a group of 5 good players..

 

5 headshots would probably bring it to 80% life then it'll heal a second later and kill your whole group in a few seconds

They are youtube video about the end game boss of atlas. Basically guys with private server, using admin commands to spawn everything, and try to kill the damn thing. Well it doesn't seam to work very well, nothing really strange. Most games also do that they code their end game content only once a good % already reach it and they are kind of forced to actually do something. The video i saw, the boss spawn so fucking much damned, them alone would wipe out any big streamer fleet with hundred of naked fan boys in seconds, not even talking about the boss itself.

I hate sharing “company secrets” but what the heck use ballistas they do 500 damage a hit and reload nicely im pretty sure they were intended for fighting the big creatures.

Ahaha. Youre fired

[JesterDoDabz 1]

You wait for it to rain and you get a huge damage buff on them. They will start steaming and you can annihilate them. 
 

you’re welcome

Exactly. Wait for rain then you can kill the elemental with swivel/cannon/ballista. If its not raining then you can try ( if you dare) an olfend to get the rain effect
