Tips & Strategies
These spawn near and on mountains
I tamed a level 150 with I think it was 5 bronto kibble, no narcotics or anything just the kibble. And it got to 225 with really god health and stamina stats.
Don't let these guys fool you. They may seem weak, but sabers are legitimately one of the best gateway dinos. Tame two high-leveled cats and breed them, imprint the baby, and boom- you've got your ticket to taming thylas, argents, bears, barys, etc. Pump up their health and you can face tank any of these things while knocking them out. Work up their weight a bit and you'll be able to tail your tame when it starts running. These guys are also great for kiting dinos into pens. In all ways a thylacoleo is better, but if you're not at that stage in the game yet, then get yourself a sabertooth.
So if you start at west zone 3 and head north a ways there is this nice beach surrounded by a rocky jungle, you should probably build a base there, then if you have some bolas and some tranq stuff head north a tiny bit until you reach a big rock (I’ve nicknamed it “jungle rock”) and the tigers are usually their. Use your little brother as bait (or whatever works best for you) then bola and tranq! I found this useful and it is a great way to be really tough at a low level.
They are awesome and really really cool
Its just à cat What could go wrong
My favorite early game tame. These are fast and can talk down a trike at high level.
Just bola then and feed them meat.
Also they come in packs sometimes so tame both because they get boosted in packs
in the island you can find them up north by the volcano and snow area
Make sure other sabertooth aren’t around or any other dangerous Dino bola+ trank arrows easy tame they are great tame for starters they are my favorite tame I have
Had to go all the way to Dead Island (Island Map) to find a female that I could single out and tame. These guys are kinda dumb in the wild just like raptors lol. They’ll take on anything even much bigger than them and die. So hard to find them when you’re looking but easy when you’re not.
I know how to avoid dying. Throw some tamed dodo. While they kill the dodo, make a run for it. Then maybe tranq it.
Maloi the Baryonyx.
This beautiful beast can easily be found on the slopes of the volcano, where if you tame, scorpions are also found! Happy hunting! :)
Collects hide, chitin, and keratin very well. Very good in caves. A good tame to use in a group with mate boosting. Stronger than raptors, and requireing a saddle gives them more defence than a wolf. With a short breed time a good tribe can breed awesome stats into them quickly. Good to use on s.e. in a group to hunt deathworms
After shooting the recommended amount of times wait.. the arrows take a few seconds to take affect, i killed several 100+ lvls before realizing this.
