Tips & Strategies
I knew you guys wouldn’t expect it ahhhh
Warning: Slightest spoilers ahead
They don’t exactly have different backstories in Rune, but are throughout the book under very different circumstances which does lead to the ship. It’s pretty normal at first with Crimson despising every inch of Rust and Rust just being… typical Rust lol—
Now, while Rust is extremely cocky around Crimson, he does develop a longing to be someone to her, as Rust always has had a small and genuine sweet side. They become the two you’re all used to in the Obelisk, until things start to change, such as scenes I cannot mention and certain people introduced and of course, circumstances.
And I have to agree, Astronomy focuses on the more sad part of Rust and Crimsons love, which is probably the reason it was hard to figure out. Allow me to explain.
When Crimson realizes Rust has feelings for her and she’s starting to feel them as well, she denies it. She doesn’t want to get close anyone, and the fact that him and her being together is impossible (Two different species, unable to have hatchlings) she tries to pull them apart. Leading to the end of the song Astronomy and the lyrics saying “Stop tryna keep us alive, you can’t force the stars to align,” and leading Crimson to lashing out and trying to shove Rust away from her altogether.
Thus the forbidden romance. I will not spoil how it ends for them or what else happens, but I must say, I’m pretty proud of how Rune will turn out.
Gonna post Pandora’s first chapter soonnn, gonna do a lil vote though first, so lookout for that!

My name is kai the Dino guy and here’s how to tame a Kaprosuches
1. Bolas do work so first you bola the Karpo you’ve Ben watching
2. Club him in the rear end until he knocks out .
3. Put your choice of narcotics or narcoberries in its inventory .well I use bio toxin from jellyfish so easy to get and very effective .
4. Use meat or prime meat prime works the best
5 123 you’ve tamed a Karpo
If this gets 20 l!kes I’ll do how to take carno
Signed kai the Dino guy
Lv 20 On 1.5x tame-after knock out by riding into rocks- cook prime= 10% per bite; raw prime 20% per bite
Just found out something really useful about Brontos! You can use them to transport goods a long way, but sometimes you have more than the bronto can carry, so, if you pack your resources on something like a high level parasaur or iguanodon, and put it on the platform saddle, it only takes the Dinos drag weight, not resource weight, allowing you to carry tons of materials at half the weight!
How to tame tuso
1 get a tame. I don’t see why turtles are so good at taming, meg worked fine but either will work. lvl up heath
2 search deep sea, I found 3 on brutal from the bottom left corner of the map to the top left corner of the map.
3 if you have soothing balm use it but I didn’t need it. use black pearls takes 50 at a time but if you did use balm you can use cooked prime meat takes 30 at a time I think.
4 go on a killing spree in the sea to open spawn spots for tuso.
5 when you find it, kill all eels, mantas, and any other hostile Dino’s near it.
6 tame by letting it grab your tame, then feeding it the pearls or prime meat.
It’s OFFICIAL:
You can only acquire a Fenrir (lvl150) after defeating the Fenrirsūlfr (Fjourd boss) the resulting tame is delivered in a cryopod after the boss dies.
The reason Dododex say it’s a knockout tame is because if you spawn a wild Fenrir you can knock one out and tame it that way, the only down side being the Fenrir CANT spawn in the wild
The Raptor is the best starter cave tame and PvP tame
1: craft some bolas( 3-5 would work just in case you miss or there's more then one)
2: make sure you have a Wooden club and meat( prime meat would be good if you can get your hands on it)
3: find a raptor and bola it
4: once it's trapped beat it up with a wooden club(lol)
5: once it's knocked out feed it meat in it's inventory
6: level 18 is when you can get raptor saddle for 9 points
7: to pounce swipe down on mobile
This is one of the most anoying to tame
To knock it out, use any sort of explosive (Grenades are cheap and have early unlock) and throw it at the Fasola while it's underground. It will look like a pile of sand and shouldn't react if you go up to it.
As soon as the explosion goes off, run up to the Fasola and mount it. You only have a few seconds to do this. Once you're on, try to find any nearby rocks/bones/etc and run into them. Every rock you hit will increase torpor and control. If control runs out, you will be dismounted.
DO NOT GO ON CLIFFS !! If the Fasola goes into the air at all, you will automatically dismount and lose all progress. Depending on your rates, it could take a long time to gain enough torpor.
TL;DR : Explode it, mount it, hit rocks, avoid cliffs.

Use a sword. I was on brutal trying to tame a level 205 and when I hit it a whole swarm of mabye 7 came after me my apprentice sword killed them all (note I had full ascendant leather armor)
Official server: don’t try to club or fist knock out. Just gather the stupid narco berries, make the stupid tranq arrows, bola one, start firing. Hopefully this will knock it out before the bola wears off and it flies away. Have had them fall asleep mid take off.
You will need to tranq it some more if you’re using raw meat.
Narcoberries work, but i usually just stick em in the wing with another tranq arrow. Check its health first.
Also, it won’t pick up a raptor, but it will pickup a baby raptor.
God I love survival ascended.
Really it’s just because you can find plenty of babies to imprint on. Kill or take the parents and press imprint on the baby
DODOS ARE NOT DANGEROUS CREATURES. THEY ARE A BEACH BOBS / NEWBIES BEST FRIEND, USUALLY YOUR FIRST TAME ON THE ISLAND.
Not every creature can “eat” the pheromone that the males drop.. like this tip so Dododex can see and add which creatures can eat it and which ones can’t.
I know some that cannot:
Megatherium
Stego
Tek Creatures
Anky
Doeds
Sarco
Baryonyx
Carno
Managarmr
Some that can eat:
Wyverns
Rex
Quetzal
Maewing
Trike
With more testing we could have it set up fully and implemented into DodoDex
