Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
For everyone trying to figure out corpse blossoms. You only need to kill things (you don't need an active totem) and it's got a low chance of creating one, you then need to jump off and harvest it by hand. I found a really easy way was to have an angry queen bee or bee hive and kill the giant bees they spawn, since there are a lot of them it procs pretty quickly and can proc multiple times. Also the higher level the more materials the blossom produces.
Wild Elderclaw egg tending timers and info while using shovel.
-first you need the 6 tend items: Sap, Giant bee Honey, black pearls, bio toxin, ammonite bile, and leech blood
-It took 19 total tends to pop. No matter lvl ( i used 15, 90, 130)
-Shovel does effect tend timer ( took timer from 5 mins to 4:07 sec)
-First 5 tends is 4:07 min then it goes mildling
-2 after mildling is no timer then 1 at 4:07 min.
-2 after that double tend time to around 8:30 min, then goes to growthling.
-Next 3 after going growthling is no timer.
-Then last 1 was 3 min timer
- Total time was 45 mins with shovel and 300% greenhouse effect
Traits do pop out of eggs on wild baby eggs. And u can see stat of the wild lvl stat on the plant.
When grown if you dont miss any timers the lvl will come out like any hand feed 100% tame effectiveness. Like my 130 came out 195. As of right now x2 event does not effect wild eggs
I'd recommend snatching a baby for your first elderclaw. Taming one the "legit" way involves killing an adult, planting the seed it drops in a greenhouse, feeding it crazy things like biotoxin and ammonite bile, then raising the hatched cub like a regular baby. The reason I recommend stealing a baby for your first tame is because an adult Elderclaw can spawn in the six different craved foods of the seed version via its corpse blossom ability.
Good weight and bulk on these guys. They don't need a saddle and have a passive armor stat that scales with their level. You can make them even bulkier by activating their bark armor ability, which trades off food drain for additional armor. They can also root enemies in place for a short period. You can spawn a totem that buffs your team while debuffing opponents. The totem can be detonated to deal AOE damage, and if you land enough hits before detonating, your elderclaw will become giant.
One of the cooler aspects of the Elderclaw is its ability to spawn Corpse Blossoms. Basically, if your elderclaw kills a creature, there is a small chance to spawn a purple boney flower on the corpse. When you use your root burst ability on this flower, it puts one of six rare ingredients in your Elderclaw's inventory. You can keep the drops random or go into the radial wheel for your elderclaw and select what specific drop you want from the corpse blossom. Like I said, the spawn rate of these blossoms is pretty small, but it can be a nice way to get something like biotoxin or black pearls passively while you're out killing stuff.
Fairly fast land mount but kind of low stamina. Watch out for fall damage with these guys. They're omnivores so you can heal them pretty quickly by forcefeeding meat.
You CAN imprint on the babies instead of going through the seeding process
Idk if anyone posted this but I will say it, if u find a mother and a baby NO KILL IT THE BABU only kill mother. especially if u are getting one first time, use ur elderclaw that u grew to get the materials required for the seed and taming. U do this by corpse blossoms to harvest them use ur vine burst move to harvest have a blessed day anyone who reads this.
1) Kill a wild Elderclaw and loot their seed
2) Plant seed in crop plot the way you would anything else (greenhouse effect, shovel, fertilizer, water)
3) It'll ask for cravings much like a dino carrying a rhynio baby. The ones I've seen so far are Black Pearls, Ammonite Bile, Sap, Biotoxin and Giant Bee Honey.
4) Once cravings are done it'll give you the option to harvest which turns it into a baby (babies seem to eat normal herbivore stuff to replenish food)

The Elderclaw is a mystical forest guardian, blending the power of an apex predator with the serenity of nature. Cloaked in blossoms and vines, it can summon roots, vines, and totems to weaken foes and protect allies. Tame it by nurturing rare seedlings or cubs to earn a steadfast warden of the wild.
