Use a rock or a tree to side step behind for the breath attack, could probably just use a pillar or a wall. Just tamed a 145 easily.

You can ABSOLUTELY trap this to tame it if you want to. It's not particularly easy to get it in the trap. I had to run up to it a few times to get it to chase and not fire spit or breath.

Use a dino gate, then triangles down to one block. Make a 2 block hallway. Walls 2x high so it doesn't jump out. Ceilings if you want to be safe. At the end of the hallway, hit the button that changes the wall to the doorway WITHOUT any wall space above it. Stack 2x high.

Position yourself directly behind that opening about 50 feet back...fence foundation and a wall for cover from the breath. No chasing. No de-aggro. No other wild creatures messing up your tame...Good idea to place a bed just in case...it's going to be a long tame.

Do not I repeat do not trap it in a trap. When it shoots you with its torpor slime and reflect them back to the Cryo, the slime will end up hitting a wall instead of the Cryo missing your shot and wasting your shields. When on hyper mode use this as your advantage as it will spit more slime at you. Using regular tranqs will kill it so keep that in mind.

All you need is 2 pillars, a nearby tree, or if someone has pillard or built close by you can use that. I use one prim riot shield and as as long as you don’t mess up you’ll be fine.

I stand behind the pillar when it breaths, and jump out with shield when it spits. It’ll usually do two breath cycles, then spit 4-5 times. On occasions it’ll only spit 2 times and then do 2 breath cycles.

It’s really a simple taming process. If you get frozen it will attack and it’s like a trodon it’ll knock you out then kill you, so stay behind the pillar when it breaths.

Use a shield and hold it up. when they shoot their torpor shot at you it’ll deflect and hit them. Do this until they knock out. When they do the freeze breath find cover until it’s over.

Ultimate taming guide:

1) Prepare yourself with shields (roit or metal), healing brews and a few pairs of armour and locate a cryolophosaurus around the snowy and hot spring biomes

2) Equip you armour and shields and deflect its spitting attack back to the cryolophosaurus (by blocking), when it does the spray even if you block you’ll still take damage hence the healing brews

3) These creatures have a high topor resistance so you’ll definitely be reflecting for a while which is why you need multiple shields and armour but after awhile it’ll go unconscious, feed it your standard kibble or meats

4) enjoy your cryolophosaurus (saddle at lvl 60)

Use 1 foundation with 1 wall, once cryo uses spray attack hide behind wall, once cryo uses spit attack then step out and reflect with shield....repeat till K.O

You don't need a metal or riot shield, wooden shield works just fine. Bring 2 wooden shields, a stack or 2 of wood, fiber and hide.

2 man tame is the best, trap it, l and have your friend heal it on a snow owl, tranq it till it’s out take a few crossbows or bio toxin darts

Using shocking darts is also effective with a good rifle

At max level damage with shock darts you can ko them with a longneck I got a 510dmg one and a net mod and you can ko them with that its crazy

Snow Owl thank on trap 150 getting ready hit it on last spitting attack

I use an unconventional way (Bat and Owl needed), they do not inflict torpor to other Cryolophosaurus. Get a level 5-10 and put stats in health (i used a bat to tame it). Find a high level, throw out Cryo dino. The wild Cryo will Aggro but not inflict torpor to yours. Sit back and shoot at the head with shocks for max efficiency. Using higher damage longnecks require the healing from the snow owl. I just knocked a 150 with 40 shocks.

Just use a good longneck with shocking tranq darts. Use owl to heal it once and g2g
