Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a brachiosaurus [mod]? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a brachiosaurus [mod].
A couple things to mention:
1. This guy cannot be knocked out by simply shooting him with tranqs. You need to get him to stand up on his hind legs. The best way to do that is to punch him (and keep punching him every now and then to maintain agro as he loses it fast, don't shoot him to do this as youd just end up killing him despite his high HP. Once he is on his hind legs keep your distance and shoot his Hind legs to deal torpor (as long as he does this he'll take reduced damage to them) The higher the damage you deal the more Torpor you do. The best weapon to do this is the Fabricated Sniper, Fabricated Pistol or Assault Rifle as it lets you space your hits properly to avoid hits when he is in his knockout animation (which has him sway slightly and then fall over on his sides, it's quite hard to tell when the torpor is full so wait a 1-3 Seconds in between shots.)
2. He loses torpor very fast when he goes back down to walk normal again. So try getting him into Bipedal stance again as fast as possible.
3. Once he's out be aware of Torpor drain roughly equal to a Giga
4. He eats Exceptional Kibble and above, Berries and Crops however Kibble is the only real way to tame him as he only gets about 0.1-0.5% taming progress from Berries and crops and you'll go through your entire Narcotics supply trying to keep him down if you go for them.
About brachiosaurus:
- You can find these in places like jungles and grasslands
- Their taming method is pretty unique, so im gonna explain it in detail:
1. Aggro the brachio
2. Make it go into its bipedal stance
3. Then shoot it in the legs(recommend pumps or snipers)
4. Repeat untill the brachio falls unconscious
5. Feed it with berries/veggies/kibbles
Note- their torpor falls VERY QUICKLY, so feed them often with narcotics
- Once tamed, these behemoths can be used both as a war machines, and a resource harvesters!
- Sadly, even though they are gigantic, they dont have a platform saddle:(
Hope this helped in anything!
Get it to sand on its back legs. Brake those ankles.
Brachiosaurus are an unconventional KO tame.
Knocking one out requires a bit of patience and lots of bullets of any kind. It’s also recommended to clear out rocks and trees from the area for a clear shot to their hind legs.
To KO a Brachi
1. Shoot at the Brachiosaurus with arrows from a bow or crossbow, as this deals a tiny amount of damage, to draw their aggression
2. Keep running away, occasionally shooting more arrows to keep it aggro’d, until it rears up on its hind legs
3. When on its hind legs, you have to shoot its back legs below their knees with any bullet-based weapon (shotguns or fabricated sniper rifles recommended) While in this state, it is faster than a player, and will perform a devastating mega stomp attack if it catches up to you. Try to keep to its sides as it has a poor turning circle.
4. Repeat the process until it is knocked out. Shooting the brachiosaurus accidentally after it is knocked out shouldn’t decrease taming effectiveness, but care should still be taken to avoid overly damaging it. When the brachi is not in its standing state, and when you hit it with bullets outside of its hind leg area, it takes much more damage and could be killed.
ADDITIONAL TIPS
Use shotguns for the majority of the taming process but use a sniper rifle for the last bit of torpor. There is a window of time where you can run up to the brachi as it leaves its bipedal stance and use a magnifying glass to check its torpor levels. This will help avoid accidentally killing or overly damaging your brachio
If the brachiosaurus is looking injured, dragging corpses of creatures nearby and allowing it to perform its mega stomp attack is a quick way to heal it
Brachiosaurus prefer Exceptional (gold) Kibble and don’t like Mejoberries as much as other herbivores. Feed them only kibble or veggies when possible
You guys can just use a velonasaur to shoot it legs when it’s in its bipedal stance. It does a butt ton of torpor. Creature is from ark additions by garuga
How to tame:
1. Aggro the brachi
2. Get it into bipedal stance
3. Shoot it with preferably snipers in the legs until it falls over
4. Feed it exceptional kibble (yellow) and LOTS of narcotics
5. Go around and one tap your friends and their bases
Destroy its knee caps and that will knock it out
If you are on the island get them stuck on green ob safest tame ever
MAKE SURE to bring LOTS of Narcotics/berries. Id recommend taming with kibble and DONT use a shotgun at the end. It can ruin the taming effectiveness! Hope this helps!
Use yellow kibble to tame it. After knock down.
Can someone help I keep killing it or getting it to low before I knock it out (yes I’m only hitting the knees and not it’s body) should I use a gun that does less damage?
The Velonosaur is awesome for knocking it out. Once knocked out you will need 13-14 kibble for a level 145. Bring a lot of narcotics, their torpor drops like crazy. 100 atleast. I use 4× taming, so you will likely neee more depending on your rates.
How to tame: delete its kneecaps when it’s standing to knockout shove vegan taming food up down its gullet congrats
1) Get a decent gear & weapon(s) (Fab sniper/Longneck/AR/Pump Shotgun are best) with high damage output. Recommend Mastercraft or Ascendent for faster taming.
2) Get a high HP tame. (Must be able to shoot off the back)
3) Once located, use your mount to attack it once to gain aggro. You will occasionally need to let it hit your mount to continue the aggro.
4) Stay at a safe distance while waiting patiently for it to stand on its hind legs.
5) While mounted, use your weapons to shoot it in its hind legs. (NOTE: Hit below the knee for max torpor effect. The higher damage weapon = higher torpor output.)
6) Rinse & repeat each step until the Brachi is unconscious. Then proceed to feed it Excetional Kibble (yellow) or Longrass. (NOTE: Do NOT use berries or you will need absurd amount of Narcotics & taming efficiency will be at minimum)
Congratulations, you have earned yourself the best gathering mount in the game! Have fun & enjoy survivor!
A level 145 will take about 13 extraordinary kibble. You can lower that amount with sanguine elixir by around 3-4 kibble.
dont die and knock it out knocking it out is hard but feed it its favorite food, forcetame
PS.
quick story on how i didnt know they are super strong. i tried
to kill it for meat snd hide and lost my stuff evn my tek stuff
:p
Aggro it, make it go into a standing stance, shoot it in the legs, preferably the ankles, and keep doing so until knocked.
Things to keep in mind:
•Torpor drops quick
•keep a good distance away because if it gets too close it will stomp and potentially kill you
