Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a acrocanthosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a acrocanthosaurus.
Tips worth considering:
#1: Bring a friend or play spitscreen.
#2: ALWAYS use bio token, not narcotics. They work, but you'll be there for literal hours.
#3: Use any gun other than the long neck. An upgraded simple pistol will work.
#4: Bring a very tanky tame that you can shoot of the back of. Examples like the thyla.
And #5: When you finally get it down, make sure to have metal spikes on you. I lost a max level to a carno because I didn't have spickes. The metal spikes are worth the investment of materials.
I hope this is helpful to some of yall out there!
Could you tame them with velos 🤔
Use a giant heavy game with a lot of HP and set it to passive, jump off and shoot a shotgun into the Acro feed biotoxin. You can feed in while standing behind it just have to walk up to a leg or foot and feed it while it’s agro on the tame. Super easy method, it can kill you so still be careful
Taming this thing is kind of easy or hard depending on your luck and what method you use.
What ur gonna need:
- Good dmging ranged weapon
- Narcotic or biotoxin (although I recommend biotoxin as it's more potent)
- Good set of flak
- A tame you can shoot off of (if you're free taming)
- Dino gates and large bear traps
- Raw Meat or Exceptional kibble
If you are using a trap to tame it, you just set it up like you are taming a giga and if you are using a tame then just kite around.
Steps to taming (this is with a trap but most of the steps will work with free taming too):
1. Locate the acro you want to tame
2. Set up the trap in a good location
3. Lure the acro into the trap
4. Shoot it until it goes into shield stance (stands kinda sideways)
5. Keep shooting whilst it's in that state
6. Once you've done enough dmg it will do a roaring animation at you, this is your chance to run in and feed it some narcotics/biotoxins
7. Repeat steps 4-6 until it knocks out
8. Put your taming food in it's inventory
9. Take your new friend for a spin!! :)
Use a prim shotgun it works wonders
With the addition of the burrow buck its easy. You just need a tanky buck, a friend that doesn't mind staying near by on foot and some dinos it can eat in the process. Tamed 2 in about 10 mins. Just beat them up with a tanky tame just Makes it easier
You can tame him and they sed you can't tame him
