More Cat Taming & KO Tips
Stand outside and say “Pspspspsps”
Wait… it’s a cat, why is it the ONE thing that doesn’t prefer kibble?!?!?
Bison milk works too! Just as good as wyvern milk.
Transferring off and back on to a server DOES NOT change a red/orange cat to green. Have just tried this. Cat still red.
1. Grapple hook the cat and take it to your base.
2. If the cat is yellow or red… go to a different server then come back. The cat will be green.
3. Wyvern milk, raw prime fish meat, cooked mutton etc…
We tamed 10 tonight
Seriously all these new tips being posted with saying bring it to the water to tame it, try it first before you waste peoples time. YOU CAN NOT BRING IT TO WATER TO TAME IT ANYMORE! Unless my server is just bugged. Someone try it and let me know….
Wildcard patched being able to bring them to water to tame. It's just to stop it from scratching you. You can also punch them to get them to come off, bolas don't seem to work once they're latched onto you (maybe a tribemate can do it for you).
From what we've tried you can't tame them even if they have the yellow symbol, and just had to kill any of them that don't have the green symbol. They all just say "This cat doesn't want to be tamed by you". Bring a friend/tribemate to better the odds of them liking one of you since they like different people. It seems to be much like the IRL "cat distribution system".
Also had better luck with spawns on The Island as opposed to The Center, not sure about Astraeos.
Use prime fish(get by killing larger salmon and harvest with a pick or preferably sickle) also can get from sharks with the same tools
Full ghillie and cactus broth to make murder mittens not rip your face off sneak up on them passive tame. They are able to breed and clone.
Found one that wanted regular raw meat three cats did not like me but the fourth was good. Patience and respect boundaries just like real cats .love it
