Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a kairuku? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a kairuku.
For Taking. Use tranquilizing darts. I have an ascendant crossbow and kept killing them by accident. As it seems it takes a lot of tranq arrows take one down. But when using tranq darts it took couple shots but did trick.
The best spot to tame one is on the little island in the corner of the north biodome. Which pretty much is penguin island. Nothing really pops up there to bother you unless you count the ocean. Also dododex does say it has a high tampour drop, but if you have some raw prime meat on you it isn't going to be a problem. Tamed a lv110 it's only 5 pieces of raw prime.
After creating a farm use a moschops with levelled up poly gathering to harvest the ones you kill. Easy polymer
Now in ark ascended you can claim the babies/juveniles/adolescent just remember to carry cryopods with you on your next poly run
There things will provide warmth in the snow,so tame them if you spawn there
Basic penguin taming guide. Fly to snow biome (COAST ONLY),pick ADULT penguin with flyer to taming bin, bring some narcotics, tranq-dart it out, feed it meat, u have a penguin :D
✨ A guide to Kairuku ✨
Step:1: find it in wild, can be found in icebergs, or forests of the Arctic and pick it up with argy and bring it to a safe location
Step 2: tranq the one you want (should take about 2 tranq darts or 3 tranq arrows)
Step 3: give fish meat (idk how much)
Step 4:if torpor is low feed narcotics or bio toxin (bio toxin is better because you can only feed one to have it’s torpor go to max)
Step 5:repeat process with other gender
Step 6: breed them
Step 7:hatch baby
Step 8: kill+harvest baby
Step 9: you have your own organic poly farm!
Don’t knock them out with tranqs! I killed three of these already when I try to tranq them.
The wiki says that you cannot tame them unless they are adults. Well I call B.S. because I tamed a baby Kairuku/Penguin by just shooting it with Tranquilizer arrows until it fell asleep and offered it meat. Don’t trust what the people on the wiki say unless it’s from a trusted source.
Tip:if you wanted to get One of these with less killing beaver or any creature that you need to craft fur armour. Just wear full set hide armour,a flyer,longneck,darts and final touch otter around your neck.I used that but didnt use darts I use tranq arrow and a bow.its work for me but watch for their health.
Can you knock out the baby juvenile and adolescent ones up for yes down for no
While they come as adults, like most tames, they also come as babies. The babies are tamable but only eat meat. The adults eat meat and berries, which is surprising, since they live in the Arctic. If you kill them, you get Organic Polymer. The babies usually produce more than the adults.
The colder it is the less likely you will kill when knocking them out.
Tame an Achatina instead of killing these bois. They act as organic polymer farms as it generates in their inventory.
Yeah for some reasons why people uses shock darts no thats a waste of shock darts use tranq arrows insteed more easy and not a waste of shock darts but still im in ark mobile i tamed one kairuku and i dont have any darts cuase im level 59
Put them in a cage so they can't escape or die by something.
I didn’t have tranq darts at the time so I’ll share this tip. If you don’t have tranq darts, use tranq arrows but make sure you count at least 7-10 seconds before shooting the next arrow. This will minimize the damage while increasing torpor. MAKE SURE YOU AIM AT THE BODY. Aiming at the head will kill them, they still have very low health. Knocked some level 2 and 3 ones out this way.
Knock out: tranq it up
Tame: K I L L H I S F A M I L Y T O G E T M E A T
Then tame it with 3-6 prime meat! Easy tame!
There frickin cute.and should be easter to find it's cold were they live and I have been freezing to death trying to tame one
Raw meat works better than raw fish meat but raw prime fish meat works better than raw meat but it’s a penguin and penguins eat fish so raw fish meat should work better than raw meat
Use pelicans to get the organic polymer. Seems like babies give the most.
