Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a sabertooth? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a sabertooth.
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.
Build a raft 3 tall with a dinosaur gate on 1 side and ramps leading up from one of the outsides... agros the Saber, run up the ramp and drop in... have doorway next to the dinos gate... once it's in run out and shoot it through the door way.. can't hit you and it can't get through the door... easy tame just don't drive off :P
They are really easy to hit in tame
I recommend using tranq arrows to knock yourself and don't aim for the head or else you will might kill it if it's a very low level be careful for wolves too
Have 2 people. One person carry the sabertooth with the argy or if you want, quetz/wyvern. The other person tranqs it. The saber will stay still, allowing head shots with the right positions, both saber and the shooter. The saber will fall from the from being carried to the ground when unconscious. This way, you can tame the sabertooth in your base or where ever you want/need.
I raise a baby sabertooth it was fun someone in my server didn't want it so I raise him now 3,000 health an 300 bite lvl 200 Ian very happy I got him an he still level in up.
Taming a lvl 120 saber or above takes time but it helps kill many different dinos just get its health up to at least 3000 and if it's not already get damage up to 200. You will love it.... until game lags and u can't get back on until the next day and it dies
I used a stone trap with one dinosaur gate, and six window frames (you can also use door frames), two walls high. Use wooden fence foundations to connect it all. Using Bronto kibble is the easiest way, on Mobile. When you have them, they’re super easy to tame and breed.
Can be found on carnivore island
How to Tame:
Get a raft
Get: bola; tranq arrows/darts; food of choice
Sail to carnivore island
Find your desired saber
Lead it into the sea with your raft
Wait for it to catch up
When it is on the raft quickly Bola it then tranq
Kill mega for prime fish meat if you need
When tamed just sail back to your base!
Good Luck on taming!
Super good mounts
I suggest to make trap for these, especially if taming high level ones or if you have a flyer, you can carry it and drop it in a pre-built taming pen.
I mainly use Saber for Cave runs especially on Lava cave, where you need to jump across lava.
Me and my friend went to tame a raptor and we saw a saber so we ran and there were a lot of tight trees so we got the saber stuck. I would recommend using a bola too
Argis = saber
This probably isn’t most efficient way of taming but use an argi one at a time
I Tamed A max level sabertooth with with raw meat bring me my money
Try getting the high ground for a more efficient Tame.
this guy has pretty good damage and health
They can bite and breath o2👍🏻
Tamed two lvl 450,breed,imprint(get mutation if u want),boom
The ultimate cave mount
I tamed one with 3 things a good pterodactyl, about 39-45or46 narcotics, and around 36 tranq arrows.
Ps: I did’nt use all of my tranq arrows or narcotics
How do these not drop fur again?
So my personal method is to bola it and then make a little trap around it so that when it gets the bola off it can’t get away oh if you want a lot of them for raids and pvp you should play scorched earth map.
