Tips & Strategies

Solo tamed it with an imprinted mana with 3k stam.
Waited under it until it was going to fire lightning at me, jumped up 3 times, with slight delays between jumps so on the 3rd jump (jumped the 3rd time when the lightning was around 1 second) to shock its right wing corruption. I kept repeating it and it kept shocking itself, then I moved to the left wing, then the back.
It took a bit of precision and learning, but I eventually figured out the timing and had it tamed in like 15 minutes. Alpha tamed as it’s lightning doesn’t damage it.
I took 0 damage with this method, and always dodged its lightnings and flock. Maybe this doesn’t work on ascended, but on evolved, I think this might actually be the best way to tame the desert titan if you have the skill to do it.
Overall, I spent about 2 hours trying to do it with other methods, like a tek tapejara, damaging with the ice breath, using a tek suit.. this one was way easier. And easier than finding quetzals on extinction.
More Desert Titan Taming & KO Tips
You have to strike the corrupted nodes about 30 times with its own lightning hope this helps
I am readying to fight this thing rn Wish me luck!!
Just to let you know I think if you go to settings and allow raid dino feeding these things can eat so you can use it for more than
24hours hope this helps and works

To tame it, when it targets you with lightning, go next to it's infected area on the right wing, then damage it if the corruption shows up. Then do left wibg, then back. This is the best way :)
Quetz with a platform saddle is the way to go. Make a metal box around where your player sits then all you gotta do is stay under the corruption on the wings and tail. 100% alpha tame every time :)
Use high melee velo and hop on top the titan
Use flyer to hover over corruption spots and when it targets you with lightning move at the last second it does damage to the corruption
Just get on a flyer with high stam and sit up under the nodes and it will attack you with lighting and it will hit itself and damage itself
Well I figured out you can just use its own lightning to tame it. Just help direct it on where you want it at then bingo a few more zaps later you got yourself a flying manta
Don’t hit the Titan himself it will reduce taming effectiveness which will give you a gamma or beta titan instead of a good alpha
