What are tips for burrowbuck? Tips and strategies for burrowbuck in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I happened to come across a burrow but with 2 Trex wondering about which I despatched,the adult burrowbuck got killed, I acquired one baby and just tamed the second one, obviously from the same litter and about to cryo it after taming and another Trex came from nowhere and wasted the 2nd baby.
Wearing ghillie approach and feed rockcarrots. If needing multiple carrots they can burrow a few hundred metres away so you will need to be careful of predators in a pretty large taking area
It’s a passive game will need full ghillie armour sneak up behind it and feed it superior and above kibble works best.
It’s just a passiv tame easy but boring
Passive tame, sneak up behind it wearing ghillie, they eat Basic Kibble, my single player level 5 requires 4 kibble. If it detects you or another Agro Dino, it’ll go invisible and run away, it’s easily trackable with tracking panel. If it makes a burrow and doesn’t go invisible, it’s a trap burrow. If you get close to the trap burrow, it’ll will blind you and trap you so you can’t move and the Burrowbuck will agro you, punch to get out the trap quicker.
***YOU DO NOT NEED GHILLIE***
Just slow crouch to it when it stops moving, stop when its moving and once youre close enough feed it. *Im on a 15x so im not sure what happens after the first feed*
Use gloom invisibility to tame no need for ghillie
Just find one with a baby, that's how i got mine
If your in-progress-tame Burrowbuck wanders off into the water where it just bounces in place, you can use a raft (by standing on the raft edge near the creature to spook it) or a Rare Flower. That will cause the Burrowbuck to aggro on you - leave the render and return once the effect has worn off and the hare has calmed down.
Also, always remember Burrowbuck will run the opposite side of where you are, in order to escape you - so stand with your back to the water to make the Burrowbuck pull away from it. You cannot interact with Burrowbuck if either you or the creatire is swimming!
After feeding, look at the burrow in the direction you want it to flee. Almost always goes in that direction about 100 meters.
Gillie suit and be careful of other holes use kibble or carrots
Use binoculars and track it. Carrots are ideal since you can feed them faster. After each feed step away or you'll get sucked into the burrow and then it'll attack you and lose effectiveness. It will move 50-150 meters away depending on the space it has around it.
If it jumps into a cliff or tree it can lose effectiveness by fall damage.
There's a bug atm where it'll say you can't feed them , just feed them anyway. Also, stand on the opposite side of where you want the BurrowBuck to jump. After feeding, it always jumps away from where you're standing. Do this so it doesn't yeet itself into the ocean or straight into a predator's mouth.
