Tips & Strategies

Everyone is making this too hard, use a bola, tranq arrow it, feed and your done you have my favorite Dino in the game. Fast, jumps high, swims great, aoe attack, knockout bonus. All around winning, I ride one with two more following me.
A little heads up... players get knocked out after only 50 torpor so watch out because in 2-3 hits you can end up dead- a tip from a man that hates the dang swamp.
I had a frorg named beez nuts that got eaten by a sarc
Wonderful PvP scouting mount! They don't poop, so stamina fills quickly, less fall damage, quick getaway, stealthy swimmer/close to ground, if someone comes at you with a flyer you can escape via water, jumping the full forward distance begins stamina recovery, stamina isn't used while swimming, can be used to tame lower level dinos as it's attacks add torpor, cementing paste and chitin are easily obtained and not to mention that the frogs look great! The "stabbing" tongue attack gathers more efficiently but does less damage than the "slashing" tongue attack. Note that you can NOT attack via the tongue while swimming. When using to tame, be sure to wait 5-10 seconds between attacks, the wild dino will likely die otherwise, not very efficient but very handy.

These oversized toads are easy to tame. All you need is a bola, tranq arrows and meat to tame them. Their food drops faster than their torpor, so you won't need that much narcotics. Be careful not to tame one if there are others nearby.
Probably the most fun mount in early game...
This is the best mount in the game narcotic attack, barley takes fall damage, it’s jumps are so high it should be a flyer, and it can swim ⬆️
