ARK's base taming speed on PC, PS4, and Xbox is now doubled, meaning 1× is as fast as what 2× was previously. Dododex has been updated to reflect this. Use the "presets" dropdown for common multipliers.

I don't know why but one of their attacks can hurt your tames when you have this guy tamed up

Well, I managed to tame a level 12 with just raw meat, and leveled it up to level 20, now, it was time to test it’s skills. It managed to kill five Sarcos, two Rexes, one Allo, a Brontosaurus, and then died to a Theri.. I was just shocked. For vengeance I went back out and killed the Theri myself, luckily I bred him before that and got a level 15 out of it.

Ever seen a frail old lady in the supermarket get randomly dump-tackled while she was browsing the clementines?

Well guess what, if you go to the swamp, you're going to be the old lady.

DO NOT LAND FOR STAMINA IN THE SWAMP!!!! i lost my best Pteranodon and all my gear to a lvl 100 these guys arent ment to be taken likely and make Sarcos look like dodos

Here’s how I did it.
Step 1. Find low lvl Kapro
Step 2. Run at Kapro
Step 3. Punch Kapro til it faints
Step 4. Shove boa meat down it’s throat
This method worked twice for me, with a lvl 1 and a lvl 3. If you’re going for a high lvl, a crap load a health will see that this method still works

When in swamps, watch yourself. These things will leap at you from nowhere, and they WILL take you off your mount if they touch you
3 points   ⚔️ Encountering       Report
Kaprosuchus and Titanoboas will ruin your experience in the swamps. If you don't want to die, bring a pteranodon or another flying mount.
