Hello everyone.
My 2nd attempt on taming this one(my first bigger tame, i dont even have a raptor), so yes im very unexperienced.
I set out to find one and build a trap, but then i found
The Therazino again but waaay to close to my base so i flew close to it and took some hits just to draw it away from my base. Its a stone house but all my tames are out in the open.
And i cant build anyone for some stupid reason. Not even torches to keep the Glowing eyes away at night. (Well thats just poorly decided from the devs)
I had 52 tranq arrows and 15 T-darts, and i missed quite a few from the stoneroof i landed on at my neighbours place. It was a Square box of stone, a cube to be exact. The roof didnt have any stickout ramps or anything so i hit the roof quite a few times.
It ran for the 6th time and this time i had to pusue it, i didnt hit the farawayshot to draw it back and it took of.
On my eagleback i saw it... Yees! I saw another roof nearby the creature or more like a porch of wood on a small cliffmade hill.
As i finally got it to pas out i realized i set out to build a trap, and that didnt do me any good. My inventory was stuffed up with stonepillars, walls and a big stone cellerdoor. GREAT!
As it laid there snoring half the body inside the porch and the other half outaide I took a speedtrip back home(1500m) to pick up narco and narcoberries some more food for me and my Eagle. Put some extra berries of all sorts but emptied the drybox for Mejo and my roof garden as well, had around 300 mejo and chose to bring 300 narcoberries and around 30 Narcotics.
I had barely enough narco for this Lv 40 and i was unsure how often it would work to feed it. I think i overspent it with no result..but i dont know..
I had to get back to base again and grab the last 40 narcotics and see if i missed something in the garden. It was stuffed up on narcoberries..
As i planed ahead another speedtrip, while sitting in the open just under the porch's higher level it was as if i heard a sound of another big dino, but then again it felt quiete and didny see anything while trying to take the Therazino out.
As i turned the camera i saw this massive dino and its mouth was about 7-8 meters away..and i was looking twice the size of one of its teeth... i was doomed
Not sure what it was, but might have been a T-rex and as it attacked me it blocked the small path around to the entrance to the top floor where i parked my eagle.
The eagle emidiately attacked my attacker, because i hadnt changed my wristle. As i flew through the air from the attack i just took straight in my face, i tried 3 times to call my bird, but on ps5, this wheel is not responding 85%of the time. I landed alive, wtf... with 3 or 4 health left and i made the wistle work 2 times in a row and i dont know if it was the "follow me" or "the move here" order that made it come. As it flew over my head i jumped and spammed triangle to mount it and succedeed, which was kind of lucky. I might as well have unmaunted in my panicspam of that button.
I regained half of my 150 in health on my way back and the rest while i gathered more resources to keep the Therazino unconscious in case the T-rex had left.
It hadnt, and i tried the same bait thing flying close to it and the landed on the roof. Bad choice, as i was attacked and my eagle started attacking it again, i called it many times but i assume it was stuck.. i tried to get away but got another knock that send me flying again. This time it was really long. I remember i had time to thing that while drifting in open space before my deathslam to the ground... but no... i lived, miracuosly, wtf again... perfect lets flee lightningspeed..
Another 5 health left, how did i not die. Called my bird in same panicmode as previously and didnt spam the mount button and i was bleeding badly but made it back up on my eagle.
I accepted my loss on my way back to base. I need to be stronger and i need to go inland i think, to be able to build.
Wonder if devs will change that buildblocking, so whenever you spawn on the beach at least have a 1 or 2 squrare opening for buildin and a campfire.i respawn sometimes, aleays easy, but getting chopped up in your underwear by a Lv 95 raptor on the beach on easymode, is not really especially easy....
I cant really build anywhere (island 5321). +6000days might explain it
Im still noobing around and dont know really, yet, how the game works as it is with all "new" games one tries out
Hope you had entertainment reading this quest of mine and i hope one of you can tip of the devs cuz the gab between singleplayer and online is to big. In singleplayer everything levels up lightningspeed and one only enounter easy dinos in a pace that follows your own development..while online its a gamble of sort
