If u want to do the mini game on Xbox u want to use dpad twice

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!

To do the tricks, double click the directional buttons on the lower left side of your xbox controller in the direction that shows up first above the taming meter, I got confused for a minute, so there ya go! A bit more depth in what to do. :) (XBOX CONTROLS)

Xbox players, clear the first 4 items in your hotbar so you dont pull something out and cancel the tame. Then just double press what ever buttons it says on the d-pad =)

HOW TO TAME A CONCAVENATOR:

1: Bring either grenades or a rocket launcher (recommended). and some sort of strong gun or weapon (cactus broth optional)

2: then find you concavenator and use the explosive on its head and it will become stuned

3:ride it and you will start a minigame.

4: in the minigame the concavenator will jump and while jumping there will be 4 arrows that you need to click down up right or left in the order the numbers are displayed.

If you fail to match the pattern you will be knocked off.

If so then use granades or rockets to stun it again.

Keep doing this till tamed!

Saddle looks very neat, excited to tame when it comes out.

On PC the arrows correspond to the WASD keys. You have to jump first, then double tap each key to clearn the input. When it turns green, hit the next one. You can immediately start the tame again when the timer runs out and you get kicked off, no cool down. I used a rek rifle to make it pop out if the sand but grenades, c4, ect...work also.

For taming this awesomely cool dino on XBOX u need to use an explosive and mount then jump and use your d-pad and double press the direction in which the arrow points! <3 -Radio

You can use a tek rifle to stun them. When you have about 5 seconds left before it kicks you off just ride around and wait for the kick. Then look down at it and shoot it again right away and it’ll stun again and you can keep going. Usually takes about 3 rides to tame a high level one. They’re really fun to tame and ride.

He jump high soo u might want to get a flyer

How do I tame this thing it’s so hard
