Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
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 don’t if somebody already said this but DO NOT GO UP IN THEIR FACE, they WILL chase you down and attempt to kill you (whether or not they kill you is based on your level and theirs)
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.
If you are on the Astreaos Map they spawn on Lemnokis in the redwood area. Searched the entire map but thats the only place I have found them.
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)
For those playing on Xbox and you are trying to feed the freshly planted seedling 'baby' whatever its tending 'craving item' is:
Face the seedling, hold down the Y button to access a radial dial and then at the top of the radial is the item it wants to be fed. As long as you have it in your inventory, click on the item to feed it, and it'll remove it from your inventory.
When I looked at the seedling, it showed what it wanted to be fed, but it did not say what button to press to feed it, which is dumb. I couldn't find this info anywhere, and discovered this in a last minute panic trying to feed it.
Keep an empty spot in the large plot to temd to it

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.
