ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Literally my favorite tame in ark, period. Maybe they aren't as useful as other flying creatures, but they make for really good scouts (as not many people really watch for a lymantria in the sky) and really good supports for a fight since their attack will slow medium and small creatures to an almost stop.
Plus, they are so cute!
You can bola them
Found in white clifs
Bola & shocking tranqs. Easy tame.
Tamed Lymantrias make excellent base buddies. They are slow and agile - making them ideal for offloading dinos and building tall bases. They can also easily land on a target 1x1 square, and usually stay on that square if you need to turn while landed. This particularly is useful for reloading turrets or placing that last ceiling. For low level base buddies, level weight and stamina. For high level base buddies, only level weight.
Boomerangs are generally considered a poor choice for knocking butterflies out
These guys heavily populate the southwest islands on ragnarok you can find 5-6 in a few mins
Oddly enough, if you use a Lymantria,s attack at just the right angle, placement, and time, it can deliver heavy damage. I was definitely befuddled when I saw this glitch happen!
The wild Butterfree has stun spore! It also has fly and toxic.
Wait until it's close to the ground to bola and if you using a crossbow wait 8 sec in between shots and it should pass out.if using tranq darts just wait a couple seconds if going for a perfect tame.
Could not get the tent trick to work.
You can find it near chalk hills by a lake
One of the only flying things in scorched earth

A lymantria can fit through a single ceiling tile space but an argentavis can't. Build a trap with one ceiling missing in the corner. Use a lymantria to aggro an argentavis, fly into the trap and out the hole, leaving the argentavis in the trap. Easy argentavis tame.
