This is the best thing to tame a giga with
Killing babies gives tons of prime but very brutal
If you want a good amount of prime meat in a safe area on Fjordur simply go to VardiLand North- North then fly over to the edge of that ice on the right side and you will see a bunch of penguins! Just kill the baby's with a chainsaw and cut them up with the chainsaw and boom some good prime meat without the risk! Up so other scardy cats like me can see. x3
You can kill big snake things which I’m pretty sure are the easiest thing to kill for this you just fit them while walking backwards (I meant titanoboa) not basilisk
Always remember this the gatherers are represent in alphabetically it is important because can be the top dinos are waste in that material gathering
How to get a shitload of prime: Use a flyer (preferably an argent) and pick up an ant. Then drop the ant next to a megatherium. It will go on a killing spree but never harvest the bodies. Once it has finished, go down an collect your prizes. This works best near the redwoods as the most creatures live there that will drop prime.
When prime is needed be sure to put it in a fast flyer so that it is not gonna spoil when needed to tame
If you need a lot quick you can breed your parassours Then hatch the baby claim it then unclaim and kill it and you’ll get about 9 prime meat
Diplos are the best way early game to get prime meat as they drop a sizeable amount and don't do damage but be careful not to get pushed off a cliff if you fight them, stay behind them as their turn radius sucks
Murder lots of baby penguins not the adults because they don’t drop prime (works on fjordur im not sure about other maps)
To get prime meat first get a pterodactyl level up and kill low level depressed brontosaurus ( I don’t remember there name and thay look depressed)
Early game get carno then just kill things like brontosaurus easy 10-15 prime meat or if you where stuck and can't get one just sarco for 3-7 prime meat
Hope it helps
Exactly how baby dodos give some raw prime meat, baby raptors give surprisingly not alot but probably enough to tame up a level 10 carno or more.
Baby dodos give prime meat. Not very much, but they’re so easy to breed/hatch/get that it’s more worth it than a t-rex. I recommend incubating the eggs until they’re a few seconds to hatching, bringing to an unconscious predator, hatching them, and then feeding them to the predator. If you can bring yourself to kill baby dodos it’s a great strategy. Up so more people see.
For some unknown reasons, even low early games tamed can give PM ;
Just breed them, k1ll the babies, and farm the meat
Gives really low amount of hide, and basic meat, but even a baby para gives PM as much as an alpha rex...
Simply if you want hundreds of raw prime meat, mate two creatures then kill the baby and harvest it. It's best to use giga or pickaxe or direwolf
On mobile. For beginners, Titanoboas are probably the easiest way to get prime meat. They have a 3× Ranged Damage multiplier on their head so just back away from them while repeated shooting with a bow. On the other hand there are a ton of dangerous predators where the boas normally live so bring some dinos with u. (Dilos are a good choice)
Or perhaps, u would find the next choice much more favorable...
For a less aggressive, but arguably much stronger prey, Paraceratherium is the one that I personally find to be the best meat-giver. Where u would get, say, 7 prime from a diplo (also a great source for beginners becuz of they never harm u directly, only pushy and shovey) u would get double that amount from a paracer. As soon as u have a pair of high level, mate boosted dilos, u can try this method. Whistle attack on a low level paracer and support ur dilos with a bow. Let ur dilos harvest the body for u if u don't have metal tools yet. Quick and easy with only minimal risk of losing ur life or ur tames.
theris in this situation ARENT underestimated, fr you might trust Dododex but hear this, they got me 41 raw prime meat from a diploducus yes a f***** diplo!
Guys- all those tips about, “hey, make a Rex farm to get easy prime meat” is relatively useless- people came here to learn how to get the Rexes in the first place. If anyone has any other tips (not commit mass murder on every diplo in a 7 mile radius) I think it would be helpful to post it
go to the north, find some penguins, slaughter them over and over, try out new killing methods, brutally murder them with gigas or guns, then tons of prime meat. 👍
