Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a procoptodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a procoptodon.
Very easy to tame one of these fellas in mobile. First take a bola and trow it at the roo. Then while it is stuck place 3 to 4 wooden wall signs around it. Trank it and feed it rear mushrooms. You will need a few narqs and soon you will have a bouncy chief
Eat rare flowers and run to it.
Build a trap, eat a rare flower and lead it into the trap.
i picked this bad boy up with my argy (mobile) and dropped him inside a box big enough for me and him. then i shot him with tranq arrows until he collapses like a sack of potatoes. then i fed him rare mushrooms and species x seeds. took about maybe 10 minutes? to tame him, so now i have a roo named peterson :)
On scorched earth in the eastern oasis you can find purple bushes, if you harvest these with a (for an example) morelatops there is a really high chance of gettin rate mushrooms.
When you knock out a procoptodon Feed it rare mushrooms they actually eat it when you want to tame them.
How to take a kangaroo not confirmed but will probably work MOBILE ONLY MOBILE ONLY MOBILE ONLY
Grab with an argy and bring it to a 2x2x2 thatch foundation place a roof over it and tranq it
Easiest way I've found by far to date for taming these is get yourself a mantis, lvl doesn't matter, an ascendant or MasterCraft club, lvl stam Abit and melee a bit just as extra measure, then find your desireed roo, let stam build up then play wack-a-roo. With ascendant club can knock with 2-3 hits. Enjoy your hunting mate:3
I found one out of the snow on mobile well I was looking for a griffen
Cant pick em even with a quetzal
Use a Net gun makes taming easy
Me on mobile sees this kangaroo running I’m like I’m going to kill it i get back to base and tell my tribe mate what I did and he was like dude they are super rare then I facepalmed so hard I got knocked out
I found one or two on the north west side of the map on the beach area, just before you get to the floating ice.
4 WOODEN BILL BOARDS, 1 large bear trap, bring at least 1 rare flower, though I recommend 2-3 because they don’t last long. Place 3 billboards, bear trap somewhere in there where you won’t run into it. Eat flower, run under billboard trap, when kangaroo hits bear trap place the last bill board in the last opening, then you have it boxed in and stuck. Feed rare mushrooms to tame. Ez
If you walk over the Procoptodon while it’s hopping it appears stuck in your Wyvern from the front. Then head to the front of your Wyv and start shooting it, it will end up stuck in your Wyvern since it’s trying to run from you. Then you should be able to knock it out. I was able to tame 4 at once.
For those that play on PVE (cant pick up wild dinos) and can not place any trap for it's pillars all over the map. Use thyla to ride a use Ru darts made from bio toxin and ru after the kangaroo and shoot it. They loose agro pretty fast but torpor is still there. Have done it many times and successfully tamed all kangaroos i wanted ☺
YOU CAN PICK THIS UP WITH AN ARGY ON MOBILE! Just found one by the volcano and I carried it all the way to herbivore island.
If you have an argentavis, grab the procoptodon on the claw of the bird and let a friend fire him some tranq arrow / dart. If you don't have an argentavis or a quetzal, then, trap him with bolas and fire him. Bring some wood / stone fence foundation and some wall to build around him to be sure that he's not attacked by any wild creature and be sure to have a lot narco / rare mushrooms. When tamed, a procoptodon is fast and he's a great Dino to tame other since you can jump in his front pocket and fire weapons. Also great in scorched earth when you're trapped in a sandstorm.
Just us nets and then knock it out and feed rare mushrooms it will eat berries after tames also one of the best narco berries farmers
I used a single bola and I think 5 tranq arrows. Soothing balm would’ve helped but I had some extra tranq sauce because 12 magic mushrooms was not enough to satisfy the beast
