Little Ratfish Treats!
Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Don’t seem to be spawning in single player on the island currently even with hibernation off Dino tracker mods don’t even register it as existing
Very easy tame, many confuzing comments here but this is The legit one. You craft The needed kibble ratfish treat in cookingpot or indi. Then you need items like pickaxes or pikes you dont need, simply just items to throw in front of The dino, when he starta to chew on The item you mount him and play The minigame. The items dont have to be high tier, everything over prim counts as The same. On official 1x you need 10 ratfish treats and 10 items when taming. Simple as that. //Kingen
They spawn everywhere that megs spawn but the megs kill them
Your welcome
You need to be level 91 to tame….so yeah that sucks 😂
They have a "micro raptor" effect where they knock you off your mount and stun you. They also shred the heck out of you
Helicoprion are organic blueprint machines
Put any loot or non-crafted gear into their inventories and there is a chance to receive blueprints of the items. On failure, there is a small chance to receive a costume skin for your Helicoprion.
Success chance for blueprint conversion can be increased by leveling up Helicoprion’s crafting skill stat. This can also be mutated to a point where you will not have to invest points to always get a blueprint.
So I was looking for hours killing all the megs I saw and couldn’t find any on the island. (Nitrado server) so I did a wipe through the app and found one within 30 seconds right off the shore of my base. IMPORTANT - do NOT tame a low level i found a level 10 and was so excited just to realize it had a 4% success rate for grinding.
Just tamed my 135 heli, here are some useful tips that could be missed by some!
1. Any non-crafted equipment or weapons work. Just use the trashy ones dropped by random megalos, but these have to be MAX DURABILITY or it won’t chew on them!
2. When you ride on these things, DO NOT RUSH to push any key during the QTE minigame. I made the mistake of rushing it, ended up pressing the wrong button, which got me killed. Take your time, and you’ll be fine!
3. The taming process will be much easier if you lure it into a enclosured zone. I lured it with my Basil into my water base with some gates circled. Just remember to do it with tames that are immune to stun, like Basilos.
That’s my tips! Good luck taming one survivors!
