Giganotosaurus

Since this guy got a tlc the new taming method will be by crafting an apex offering at lvl 96 which is made out of alpha creatures trophies then approach a wild one with the apex offering in your inventory it wil take it and accept your challenge I recommend using a High hp stego with a decent…

Step-by-Step Taming Process

1. Locate the Enigmasaur in Disguise:

• Find a wild Enigmasaur while it is actively mimicking another creature in the wild.

2. Identify the Mimicked Species:

• Watch which creature it has transformed into (for example, a Stegosaurus, Direwolf, or…

Enigmasaur

Highly recommend trapping in circle of gates. It is completely passive if there is no other members of the same species it transforms into even if it becomes a rex it'll be passive. If you can't do a transformation just wait for it to change back to itself then to another creature tamih…

Maps that have fewer species like scorched earth, lost colony and aberration so its pool of species to scan is less.

Be extremely careful when taming in the redwoods on Valguero, as they tend to enjoy the form of Acrocanthosaurus.

Get ready to tame a bunch of stuff you didn’t want in the first place. I’ve seen the mimics as easy as a parasail to crazy tames like elder claws, and gigantoraptors. Get a desmodus for that sanguine elixir to give you a boost in taming progress cause this takes forever.

Giganotosaurus

with the new tlc, do NOT have the apex offering in your inventory until you've found a decent level or a giga you want to tame. if you get too close while scouting, a giga you dont want can end up consuming the offering and start the taming process

If you see a this check what it wanted and if it wanted that you don't have then if you play single player, their a trick ,

Face opposite to moschop and back save game and exit game ,after come back you get another demand of taming do this process until what you need for taming...

Breed

Baby enigmasaur eat chitin

And we are used to feeding on insects. Don’t assume this creature is omnivorous.

Shadowmane

Have tamed a few of them now.

Passive tame using fish caught in Fish Basket in your 0-slot.

Larger X value fish seem to giver higher percentage tame per feed.

Fish Basket Tips:

1) Place basket in water and it will take several seconds before it is active. Once active you watch for fish to…

A tamed one won't transform without feeding element it would find you element dust as well

Armadoggo

You have to put meat on the ground and then it will sniff the food out and then eat it so then you have to pet it that will raise the timing thing and then you do it three times and pet it three times when it eats

Enigmasaur

Can be carried by Quetzel and Rhyinognatha, so you can bring a wild one back to your base with all your tames and show it to the enigmasaur to tame it

They are completely neutral regardless of what they transform into, even a giga. So you don’t need to worry about it attacking your base

Enigmasaur

Really easy tame you just need almost every tame in the game pretty much made me tame a rock golem even if u can’t get the tame its mimics you can wait till it turns back in to regular form and let it mimic something you possibly have

Giganotosaurus

Also the narcotics needed is way off. I'm on a 5 times dedi and a 160 took well over 700 narcotics where the dododex says it only takes 84

The level 62 min with anything over is not correct. On 1x taming I used a 272 parasaur and got 7.1% progress, the. A level 117 ovis and only got 3.1. more info needed for proper taming % progress.

To get it to heal, just get rare mushrooms, stand somewhere warm and eat a mushroom everytime the little plus signs are full. Resets the heal cooldown and your good to go.

I found a 150 lvl near my base and to trap it i used stone gateway bola don't work or smashing it with club won't work so I used 5 stone gateways and 5 doors for them then I opened 2 doors and waited for him to grab me while I was in that circle trap and when he killed me I respond run…

Be careful there’s a bug with raising them in the new aquatic tank. It acts like it’s in land and will die.

Also had 2 drakelings drown while on my shoulder in the aquatic tank so watch their oxygen or be quick.

Put the the Dino damage setting 0 for a while up your damage then try taming (if you do something while not doing theses it will be hard)

Procoptodon

This thing can NOT be pick up by an argy nor you can cryo it, so I suggest you tame one that is pretty close to your base unless you want to walk a mile just to get it back at your base

Enigmasaur

Ok be ready for a really really long tame process.

You’ll need almost every Dino if you want to be “prepared” or if you do t have what it is at the moment leave the area and go far. It should change back while you’re gone somewhere around 15 mins just sitting next to it but much less…

Use a Desmondes tranq your snake clear any other predators then drop your eggs next to your unconscious snake for when it wakes up to tame

Acrocanthosaurus

Use a Managarm to tame it. It cover the requirements of dealing constant damage and keeping it in movement, plus it is faster than Acro's "tanky" state.

Equus

1. Need rockarrat 25 -30

you can trick wild ones into taking the form of any dino you want by putting it somewhere far away from other dinos then bring a wild dino near it to mimic

Not sure if it’s a bug or not but it says it’ll ask for a non-aggressive dinosaur yet it asked for a Daeodon and Cryolophosaurus whilst I was taming mine.

Acrocanthosaurus

I figured out the easiest way to tame them! You'll need a Deinosuchus since they barely get knocked back from the Acro due to their low stance.

Get a dieno and find one then do the following instructions for an easy tame

Ride the Deino and bite the Acro until the Acro does its feeding…
