Baby brontos also fill up the bar on ASA
So, I just got two of these guys (male and female)and they are great! Now, I know your supposed to get good level ones, but I wasn’t gonna be picky, and even despite their low level, they are amazing! I fought a Corrupted Reaper King and was so jacked to the point of it not being able to deal enough damage before I would heal fully. Seriously, you guys need to get one of these. One problem though…
It takes five hours to incubate in single player, and I shudder to think how long it takes on servers.
Your friend, The King of Reapers. Good luck!
Very sad, I found one of these in a volcano during the night so it was very hard to see, (I also found it with a giga as well) and I went to get a Dino to feed it but when I came back it died in the lava.
I fed it once, and it stopped eating. I tried again, same thing happened. Now im trying to feed it baby rexes bit it wont eat anymore.
Baby rex’s are 100% guaranteed to fill up the friendship bar.
If your like me your usually going to find them unexpectedly when your trying to tame a equus or something and then you cry because you lost that, Dino but then you get a brilliant idea to tame the Car but end up dieding.
Taming them is entirely based off the drag weight of the things it eats. Use a baby rex or spino (baby gigas dont work because you cant drag the body around) and it only takes one to completely fill the bar and then you can hop on to start eating things and this applies to every taming multiplier and also work on 1x for any level on official servers. Larger dinos or dinos with a higher drag weight will give a larger percentage towards tame but keep in mind certain things you eat count as more than 1 thing eaten towards the counter on the lower left. Once you hit 100 it will kick you off its back so try and pick a place that's easy to feed it another thing when it does this. If you do not fill the counter or you hop off it you lose 15%-20% effectiveness on the tame and the levels tank. You can also use an elixir but you have to be standing as close to its foot as you can get and you cant use it in your hot bar while riding it you have to be standing on the ground. Obviously, every time it gets hit it loses .01% and this also applies to when you are not riding it so if it boots you somewhere it's going to fight things the effectiveness will continue to drop.
This is literally one of the easiest things to tame, the animation for it eating a body is long enough to not need a trap as you can just shotgun another thing and take its body to get it into a new animation
after a few feeds you can ride it and start meatrunning all the wild dinos and after the 100th kill it will roar and knock you off making you kill a few dinos and feed it again
you can roar while riding it but the kill counter doesn't reset when wild and of you don't play on a boosted server or kill large dinos such as broncos only you will get kicked off
stat mechanics seem really similar to gigas including hp amount and the fact the melee goes up by 5 per point which would be 10 per mutation
The stam is better than gigas but still Regensburg slow however the amount gained per level is larger than a giga making it possibly worth 1 or 2 points in Stam on boosted servers but on low boosted its still probably better to do all melee (depends on what you want and how it scales with mutations and stuff I've only messed around with it for about 20 minutes)
Trap the dino the same as you would a giga. Kill and drag it sheep. As soon as it sniffs at you, drop the sheep and run away. Repeat till his trust bar filles up (blue icon above head). Then hop on and ride around killing things till he is your friend.
Drag dead baby rexes to it,then go to a swamp/river and kill all the fish fir easy taming, dont attack large creatures, jst multiple small ones
can't wait this things gonna make the giga look soft
When you want to take it you will probably want to trap it and if it is still trying to eat your builds fly up with a flyer and I’m render it then go back down and feed it the dead animal witch you should do a baby Rex to fill the trust meter to full and go kill everything you see and have fun 😁👍
The carcar has a very long taming prices of just bringing it random Dinos you can find around you, but I've found that bringing them Dinos imbeetween level 150 - 250 is very very effective due to the high level, instead of scrambling around finding any level Dino you can fing just so the carcar your taming doesn't wonder off or lose tame effectiveness, make sure to prepare yourself by only looking for carcars where you know you have seen some high level Dinos that would be good to sacrifice to a carcar. This is an extremely annoying ung Dino to tame, only if you let it be, this is a perfect Dino that most people will want as soon as they can get it, and I don't blame them, but always make sure your prepared before you attempt to tame a carcar, I have personally found this method to be very useful scoping out your area can be detrimental to your experience taming carcars.
DIPLODOCUS are the best for finishing stage 2 of taming, because the effectiveness is based of LEVELED HEALTH ~ Obito Uchiha
(READ THE ENTIRE THING BEFORE TAMING)
It’s easy to tame. Trap it and feed it a baby diplo, baby rex, anything with a high drag weight (preferably over 450) that you can carry. You do the feeding process by dragging it close to where it won’t eat it but it will sniff it. When it does the sniffing animation you will leave the carcass close enough to where it can eat it. It will show a friendship meter above and when it’s green you can ride it. When you ride it, you go on a killing spree until it’s tamed. Look up a tutorial on yt if this wasn’t specific enough or if you are a visual learner

When it roars and begins chasing you find a big Dino and make the car hit it then run off
Of ur in creative, just give it an adult rex easy - FangClaw
