Tips & Strategies
If you wanna tame a Oasisaur quick and efficiently you have to focus on two things.
1. Drag Weight
2. Level
It seems to be similar to the Carcha when it comes to taming. If you’re not familiar with the taming process for the Oasisaur already, all you have to do is tame a creature then kill it and harvest its body so that the bodybag appears which contains your tame’s soul essence then take it. Next find and get on the back of the Oasisaur and put the soul inside it’s inventory hovering over the lake. That will start a skeet shooting like mini game where you have to protect your resurrecting tame from hungry vultures.
Now back to the drag weight and level. From my testing it seems the best tame available on Scorched for this would be the Giga but ofcourse it’s very rare to see a Giga let alone a 150 or high level at all. So next best would be a Paraceratherium. It’s worse than the giga by 350 drag weight but it has 50 more drag weight than the Rex making it better for taming the Oasisaur. Ofcourse you can also opt for the Rex instead being whatever is easier to tame and or find at a high level.
So all in all if you wanna rush a Oasisaur “early” game. Be lucky enough to find a max or near-max level high drag weight tame, kill it, get its soul essence and head off to tame your Oasisaur. (Yes I have tried the Rock Elemental and Titanosaur. They seem to not posses a soul thus not mentioned.)
1. Giganotosaraus - 950 DW (Drag Weight)
2. Paraceratherium - 600 DW
3. Tyrannosaurus Rex 550 DW
4. Yutyrannus - 500 DW
5. Wyverns- 416 DW
More Oasisaur Taming & KO Tips
Here's how to tame one of these for those who are confused!!
Step 1 - find the Oasisaur(they spawn in the desert)
Step 2 - kill one of your tames
Step 3 - harvest its death essence from its inventory (the better the creature the easier the taming will be)
Step 4 - put the essence inside the Oasisaur inventory (accessable from the pool). You will see a spirit of your tame floating above the pool if succeed
step 5 - protect your tame's spirit from vultures that will attack it. Enemies will come in waves, and taming progress increases with each defeated wave . Be mindful that vultures might get stuck below the Oasisaur, you might need to check every once in a while if it doesn't say that wave is completed. Waves will get harder progressively so you need to be prepared for that as well
If you failed defending the spirit, simply start over from the step 2
step 6 - enjoy your Oasisaur!

The easiest way to tame an Oasisaur is using a fire wyvern because its immune to fire damage so you can incinerate the vultures extremely easily with little to no effort and tame one in no time.
Easiest way we've been taming these, is to have a couple of lightening wyverns on its back, you can kill the vultures with ease.
Figured out the secret to taming these by accident... although drag weight and level do matter the biggest factor is actually HP a 225+88 hp argy will tame just as fast as a 225+88hp paracertheirum; which is 50% on 1x hard single player.

You can use lightning or fire wyvren to kill the buzzards but make sure you are on top of the oasis. It will take damage if you are near the bottom. Use rare flowers to coax the stuck ones out and a fabricated pistol or a rifle to shoot them being careful not to hit the oasis. Watch its health, if buzzards get stuck underneath it you can let it heal between waves. We used a Rex with health leveled to 17k. Took several hours because we kept doing damage trying to get the buzzards out before we realized the wyvs were hurting it. We had to let it heal…
How to tame:
1. kill your tamed creature
2.harvest it’s body and grab the bag on the ground which has a soul in it.
3. Fly up onto the back of the Oasisaur and put the soul into it’s inventory so it can revive your tame. ⚠️Warning: Once you put the soul in its inventory be prepared to defend the Oasisaur until it’s fully tamed⚠️
You need
- weapon (ar is good)
- death essence (acquired by killing one of your tame and harvesting the body. PARACER IS THE BEST)
- wyvern (any wyvern will do)
Find Oasisaur and land on it.
Access Oasisaur inventory by going into the water pool and deposit the death essence.
Shoot waves of vultures with your weapon.
If vultures do not spawn anymore go out of render distance and see if one does not spawn.
Otherwise as a last resort you'll need to use your wyvern and stick your head into the Oasisaur and try and bite the vultures that are stuck.
Rince repeat and you have an Oasisaur. To refill the food craft the crop plot and add bush into it with a shovel.
