Just tamed a 145 with two primitive wooden shields and some materials for repairs. Reflect the torpor spit back at him and duck behind a rock (or thatch wall on a wooden fence foundation) for the ice breath. Use the opportunity wile ducking to swap and repair your shields. Feed mutton or kibble and done! Credit: syntac

Fun fact since I haven't seen this mentioned yet.

Their inventory has the same effect as Ice Wyverns from Ragnarok, which slows spoil timers considerably.

Level oxygen for more ice attacks

This thing can be used for knocking out tames, like a ranged equus

They spawn in snow biome in Lost Colony but they will be coming to other maps soon.

Find the crylo. Place a foundation and a wall down before you aggro. Stand behind the wall for the freezing breath. Step out with your shield to reflect the ice balls. I’ve breath starts, step back behind the wall. One ascendant metal shield is all it took.

My advice is to trap it using gates but LEAVE GAPS- Just enough so it can spit at you, but not escape. Also means that incase you get knocked out, it can’t get to ya. But cmon, bring sleeping bags!!

Takes longer than you think to knock out, but well worth it- no need for tranq darts ever again!

Position yourself behind a rock on a fairly level field to hide from breath cloud attack. Slide out of cover shield down, they seem to cloud breath immediately if you are shielded. Shield up to reflect blue torpor shots back at him, if no hit marker change angle or drop//raise shield again quickly. Have a friend shoot with tranq darts or better from a distance to help speed up knockout. 140 or better will break metal shield before finished so carry spare.

A lot of people are over prepping for this. One stone foundation. One stone wall. One primitive metal shield. Reflect spit, step behind wall during breath attack. It will not close distance with you. The biggest hurdle in taming these things is trying to contend with everything else.

Word of caution. They do not always follow the same attack pattern. Sometimes they will perform back to back breath attacks. Also, they drop torp extremely quickly. Outside of that, it's one of the easiest tamss in the game.

You do not need a riot shield as a metal shield works just as good, make sure to keep hitting the torpor spit back at it until it knocks out, then feed mutton/kibble.
