Alright yall, if yall wanna tame yourself a feathery killer then this is the tip for you. Cozy up, cause we’re diving straight in.

Alright, first things first, if you want to tame this feathery freak, you need some GOOD prep. So listen up, get yourself some half decent flak, I recommend bringing 2-3 sets! The idea is if you miss your swings, it won’t be the end of the world for you. Pack that in your bags. Next, you need some taming food, as much as I would recommend Exceptional kibble, it’s not always at the ready, so if it’s not available a good second is some prime meat. Finally bring your weapon of choice: a torch, now listen up; quality DOES matter. If you swing a primitive torch around you’re going to do a lot less torpor than an ascendant one. I learned that when I tamed mine. So before that screws you up, bring good torches.

Now taming is a lot easier said than done. If you brought good torches and good armor taming is a breeze. You can find them all over the chalk hills on Valguero. First you must locate a trophy spire, it stands out like a sore thumb; twisted tree roots, and skulls around it. Once you hover over the spire, it will tell you the level of the Megaraptor guarding it. Now you wait for the Megaraptor to finish hunting if it hasn’t already, and finally you challenge the Megaraptor.

Congrats you made it to the most annoying part! Your vision will lower, and the air gets a little more… ominous. You will be trapped in a circular moveing motion around the spire, keep your back turned to the spire (because the Megaraptor I’m assuming WILL go for your back if you give it the chance.) and have your torch ready. The Megaraptor will be invisible and will emit quiet sound ques, so listen VERY closely unless you want to be caught off guard. Once it appears, it will be slightly transparent, and it will emit a roar, to which point you as the player will swing the torch in its face. The time frame you need to do this in is roughly 1 or 2 seconds, if you fail to do so, it will hit you once before it vanishes to repeat the process. Also DO note you cannot spam the torch since the minigame will not let you do that (I tried it myself), you have one swing per 2 seconds, so use them wisely. Another quality of life feature for this taming process is the obvious Torpor bar above your hotbar, so you will never forget how high torpor it is.

After you knock it out, you tame it like any other tame. Hope this helped, later!
