Can somebody please explain how to do the mini game on Xbox ?

You gotta use an explosive to knock it out of the ground like a faso. But instead of knocking it out you need to jump and do tricks. It will show a set of 4 directional inputs, you need to double tap the buttons for the inputs to follow through as well.

How to tame conc;

1: first, make make sure to have any kind of explosive, i strongly recommend C4 but if your confidence is over the top, grenades work.

2: locate your conc, it might take multiple explosives depending on the level, then if your using C4, set the C4 close but not too close to you, because you don’t want to blow yourself up but the conc will only be stunned for a VERRY little time, so make sure your able to get there fast, then after placing your C4 and your at your preferred distance, shoot the conc to gain its agro, make sure you far enough away that it won’t come out of the ground before it reaches the C4 then once it surfs close enough to the C4.. KABOOM! And it’s it’s stunned!

3: hop on and do your tricks by double clicking the the directional button after jumping, once you touch the ground the taming bar should advance depending on how many tricks you did, if you get bucked off, don’t worry! You won’t lose your taming progress, just stun and repeat.

4: now grenades are tricky, timing and throwing is the hard part, but overall it’s the same process, unless you want to sneak up and throw it at them, but that’s also tough.

5: rocket launcher, for this, make sure to have plenty of spare ammo if you miss, and aggro it, now wait till it starts to circle you.. and time your shot just as it tries to go for you! It pretty easy, but there’s other ways to use the rocket launcher to tame them.

Good luck on your sand swimmer! -BoXXy

Instead of using c4 or explosives you can use a Tek rifle alot safer also double tap what ever direction it tells you super easy to tame with that

Set a c4 near it and run up to close distance and get its aggro.

After you ran safely passed the c4 and it’s close doesn’t have to be right on top as long as the splash dmg hits, it’ll get stunned showing blue stats above its head for about 3 seconds.

You can control it so just do a couple jumps turn around so you’re heading back to your tame or bag or whatever safe spot you set up.

Rinse and repeat.

A couple things I noticed. Adding any input that’s extra after you complete the 4 it requires per jump (use the dpad btw not the analog for the tricks)

Adding an extra flip really bumped up the bar for me. At most on official with 2x rates I used 4 c4 per tame of a 150. But bring 10 until you’re used to it.

If you mess up and get kicked just lay another c4 and ur good. Super easy tame.

What the guy said about xbox applies with ps5

On console like Xbox use the arrows and double tap for each input, so for left double tap the left d pad arrow

Tried the old taming but the c4s js killed them, all were 150 and i used a single c4 for every single one

This was the original sand shark before the Fasolasuchus and was originally part of the ark additions mod in ASE. It was tamed by blowing up C4 until you knock it out. It had the ability to stir up choking dust clouds and jump out of the sand. It will be added to ASA as an official base game creature on August 26. Hopefully it gets a little buff and maybe a new ability but will definitely be a fun travel mount. Can’t wait to ride this long awaited creature!
