Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a terror bird? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a terror bird.
Try to get a petradone and lead It to the trap and don't forget to not put normal doorframe I know I'm shoock to but don't I'm not trying to trick you don't ok ty use a bola
and use 9 knock arrows for a lvl 30 don't do a higher lvl pls trust me ty for reading sorry for taking too long
Super easy taming idea put a 2 by 2 stone trap next to your base then with a argentavis drop one of the buggers In there and boom your right next to your base and you can keep it safe like a pro
I love these guy also don’t try to tame without bio toxin
A terror bird is hard too tame due to being very fast and they come in trios. Plus you have other dangerous dinos they might aggro on you or them. Or they might aggro on the creature themselves. All you need are bolas, tranq arrows or club, prime meat or meat or if your lucky to find a sheep around since they mainly spawn in the redwoods of the island, you can give them mutton (raw or cooked).
BRING LOTS OF NARCOTICS. They literally lose half their unconscious state before they even start eating. I started to run out of narcotics so I filled up their unconcious bar and ran back to my house (which was really close by) to get more. By the time i got back it was long gone.
i tamed one on mobile painted it red and called it knuckles
I caught 2 a 80 male and a 520 female
MOBILE: meat and alot of narcotics to keep it asleep just what I learned. Useful in packs just like raptors. I'm still experimenting and fairly new to the game in general so that's all I got for now
Taming a terror bird won't be easy because they come in packs of 3. So if you want one of them just kill the other 2 and tame the one you want. Mainly to tame one you'll need bolas, tranq arrows or a club to knock it out. Its preferred kibble or raw meat works faster and mutton.
Me from far away on my trike “wow thats one big dodo, I should try and tame it. *pulls out crossbow and goes closer*
Me when it and 3 of its buddies come running after me after eating my trike “ oh my god it’s not a big dodo run!!!!!!”
Tip When they are hunting a animal like cornered on a rock stand at least 10 to 15 feet away with a crossbow at least 30 tranq arrows to be safe next start s hooting them from at least 11 feet while they are hunting a animal and killing it with a tranq arrow try aiming for the head if they are in packs try to be safe doing it
To tame it you need to bola them and feed them raw prime meat or any kind of meat, don't forget to bring narcotics as their torpor drain is high
Not sure if others have this problem too, but I shot 30-40 tanq arrows at a level 40 terrorbird’s head and it refused to be knocked out. Moral of the story: if your bird refuses to be knocked out, don’t waste more arrows.
If these guys attack you while carrying them with an argy just attack it and it’ll stop until you drop it.
I suggest Using Bola for this creature, then aim for the head. I just tamed one and it took me at least 7 T.Arrows in a row (Using Crossbow) It was lvl 2, but you should also get a lot of narcotics as its torpor drops REALLY swiftly. Almost lost my Terror Bird bc of that..(I’m Playing in Single Player)
Best way to tame them is: Grab one with an Argentavis and drop him into a cage of wooden Spikes. Then go on any high spot and shoot on it.
Idk why people say they are killers just hola em than kill/knock out on my 100 day map I have a sword metal primitive and full flak and killed a whole pack btw ez tame
An error for sure... says this fits through a doorframe, but not a double doorframe? I think thats reversed; I have definitely tamed using a 4x4 doorframe trap, and other traps where a doorframe is the only point of accessible to tranq, no issues, no escapes.
Large aggro radius and travel in flocks, be careful!
If low lvl build a trap to lure them into using foundations, walls and ramps. They tend to prioritize wild herbivores over you so sometimes you can catch them distracted by a Trike or Stego and tranq them (make sure to kill or distract the Stego quick before it kills the birds).
If higher lvl, build flak armor and just facetank them while firing darts, they have low topor so usually 3-5 darts downs them with a primitive longneck. You could also use a tamed Rex or Spino to draw their aggro by dismounting and mounting then tranq them while they are distracted.
Great for cave runs. Can clear carno Island cave in 15mins with my 250
