Btw if you are on ps4 or pc or xbox you can tame a lvl 162 no narcotics needed but if using dried wheat it wont work you'll need narcotics(will take a long time with berries)
Sooo hard 2 find I couldn’t find one on The Island at all
Just pick it up with your Argentavis and drop it into your taming-room. A very easy tame, if you are doing it like this. Have fun with tons of metal!
Knocking it out is so easy, But most people aim for the body with tranq arrows/darts which slows down on the knocking out process. So instead aim for the head, it can speed up tue progress faster, I already tested this and it works.
Brilliant way to avoid damage is using a net from the harpoon gun, just requires lots of metal and cementing paste , and you can simply use organic poly for the net projectile itself . Once netted it can be knocked out at your leisure.
There's lots of them on herbivore island for noobes its the island in the bottom right corner
It breaks thatch very slowly but it can’t break wood fast either so I would recommend these two materials
For places where there is most metal, look for waterfalls with GOLDEN rocks underneath, behind or around it and mine them with the anky guaranteed better odds than normal rocks. The second place is rocks with gold streaks in them, they also have better odds than normal rocks but are hard to see at night.
Up if this helped you.
For taming make sure to aim for the legs and once it runs away don’t stop that is when it is closest to being knocked out.
PS bolas don’t work on it so don’t waste them trying to catch one (I think).
A great way to tame any passive dino is to use billboards. They work similarly to the dinosaur gateway method.
Prep: Kibble, narcotics (if necessary), tranq arrows/darts and 3-4 wooden billboards.
Step 1: Approach the dino, placing the first billboard as to trap its head. If done correctly, the dino will attempt to keep walking as normal, stuck underneath the structure.
Step 2: Place the remaining billboards around the dino, ensuring that it will not escape once aggravated. Make sure there are no large gaps between the boards.
Step 3: Prepare your preferred method and knock out the dino. The dino will not attempt to break the structure. If the dino is a passive tame, this step will not be necessary.
Step 4: Tame the dino and defend it.
Enjoy your new dino.
