Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a cosmo? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a cosmo.
Cosmos spawn mostly in the blue area, but also sometimes in the green area by portal and the river, if you see one hanging down you can enclose it with walls and a roof to trap it. As of 9/6/24, having chitin in your inventory and feeding it a plant species Z seed will automatically tame it once it dances. The intended taming mechanic is you wait for it to run, then it’ll play a game of red light green light with you, when it shines green run towards it, when it shines red, stop moving. Keep doing this and feed it chitin. After every feed it’ll run away and restart the game. Keep doing the game until it’s tamed. Once it’s tamed, it eats plant species Z seed. You can use it as a semi grappling hook, it won’t let you reel in but you can build momentum and swing like a pendulum. It’s other mode (R on PC) lets you fire webs at dinos to slow them down. As a shoulder pet it also automatically shoots webs at attackers. Send this to the top to help people see!

Don’t tame it during an earthquake. It counts you moving if you get shoved by the quake.
I never really post on any of dododex but if you didn't know, it likes it if you have chitin in your inventory to start the taming, or they'll ignore you 😭
Baby cosmo eat Aserbic mushroom (the narco ones)! Meat WILL starve them.

For all. Plant z is the best food, but you always need chitin in your inventory to trigger the taming process!
Question what do baby cosmic eat?
Very easy tame just walk up to it with chitin in far right hotbar and feed it then it'll jump away when light red do not move when there light turns green proceed moving toward it feed again and rinse and repeat and there yours! Like the game red light green light!
For taming- walk up to him with a light pet with no aggressive creatures around & wait. After a few seconds he'll do a little dance & you can feed him.
At thd moment, Plant Species Z seeds are the best, but he will eat chitin in a pinch. Once he eats, he'll run off & use his glowing body to play a literal game of "Red light, Green light".
Stay still on red, run to him on green- be prepared to put your brakes on though- If you continue to move on red, it will reduce the tame effectiveness & he'll also attack you/any dino in his radius, including wild ones, so be careful, because those dino WILL attack your potential tame as a result.
Once you get up to him, feed him & he'll run & you play the game again. Rinse repeat til tamed! GL everyone 😄
Play red light green light with it. Passive tame
If raising, you can use basic kibble to raise it that way if you don't have seeds. Place 1 kibble with meat in the inventory and it will eat the meat on it's own.
After you feed it when it’s green, runaway a little bit as fast as you can and the spider will often stay in the same spot.
Depending on the area you encounter them, they can get stuck trying to get away from you to continue the red/green game. The taming progress slowly depletes in-between feedings, so the faster you can give em some space and get the lil guy lighting up red/green again, the better.
When you first encounter it it will be peaceful feed it Plant species Z seed and or Chitin. Once you do this it jump around then crest a webbed mound where he or she will flash red or green for a game red light or green light. When it is green run up before it turns red. If not just crouch just to be safe, then wait for it to be green again. Then rinse and repeat if necessary. If you mess up it will attack you for like 2 seconds then just wait for it to mound up again.
Keep chitin in your inventory to lure it to you like a ferox then feed it plant z seeds to passive tame. If you see a red light around it keep your distance and once it's light turns white you should be safe to feed it again. Happy hunting!
So basically you feed it chitin for the initial feeding then play a game of red light green light with it. It will build a mound and the area around it will be red. When it turns green you can run towards it, but if it turns red again then stop or it will web you. You will have to feed it a few times like any other thar you tame this way. After it's tamed you can shoulder it or put it on your wrist to shoot webs or swing from trees.
1. Put chitin in your last slot on your hotbar.
2. Play Red Light/Green (technically white) Light
3. When close enough, feed the Cosmo the chitin.
4. Swing like Spider-man
Use species z seeds just like other shoulder pets
Keep chitin in your inventory and it will come to you. Use plant z seeds its kibble. If need to will do a stop and go game. Red light green light so. Only move on green and stop on red but be careful earthquakes make you move
U have to have chitin in inventory and plant species z seeds or chitin in last item slot
Plant species z seed is more effective
1First wait for it to dance and light up
2feed it
3 it will flee and start a small game of red light green light
4 when it’s red and hiding don’t move otherwise it ends taming and u will have to start over
5 move up to it when the light is white( always be cautious )
6 when you are up to it feed it
7 repeat steps 3-6 until tamed
Mostly spawns in blue zone ☝️If helpful
I just found one of these little guys while riding on my Para, it showed up as hostile when I use the Para's detect ability, when I saw it I came to this app in hopes to find clues on how to tame it but sadly I didn't really see any taming tips. How I tame the one I found was that I crouched and it made a little dance with a little be of light and asked for chitin in the last slot for passive taming. This is my first post on this app ever. Good luck out there fellow survivors
To tame it you gotta play red light green light and feed it
