Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a desert titan? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a desert titan.
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
...Silly Survivor
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 :)
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 :)
Use high melee velo and hop on top the titan
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
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
Some people put “early game tame so easy lol” everywhere thinking that they are funny, but tbh, this is a really easy tame once you’re prepared. All you need is several quetzals wearing platform saddles with foundations over the front to protect your survivor from the flock, and you’re done. Fly under the wings and it will strike itself with lightning until it breaks its own nodes, then fly beneath its tail and it will strike that node too. Switch quetzals when on low health and be careful of the tail attack during the last node, and that’s all. If you use Raid Dino Feeding or a mod to keep it forever, this guy is a great expendable to use on any mission (such as Hati and Skol) or meat/metal grinding. Good luck, Survivors!
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
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
You have to hit the corrupted part of it it will bulge out of it and then if you destroy all them it will be tamed the taming effectiveness depends how much damage you do to the creature more damage lower taming effectiveness lower damage higher taming affectedness that is how you tame the giant desert manta.
What does it eat? I’d love to know
Using a tapejara with tek saddle is effective.
Use a Quetzal and a pretty good one. Block off your head with foundations so the swarm can’t get you off. Then use the lightning on the corrupted spots and just keep doing that it’ll tame itself. Another tip you can fly under it and it will work too.
Tip! Save before fight and then if you die, you exit to menu and before it takes you to the menu you quit the game and reload ark and you can try again! Ps. Might only work on console.
Pro tip: Don't use explosive weaponry and really bad rexes with no saddles like the devs did. Fab Snipers for taming it with little/no collateral damage, actually decent rexes + imprint + saddles to kill it (Probably not for this flying one tho lmao).
Is there know setting to make these a longer term tame? They seem cool but what is the point if it will be gone in 24hrs.
Use lightning attack to summon corruption in corrupted spots if taming
Fly under weak spot, and let it strike itself with lightning.
You have to remove the corruption from its body instead of feeding it. And its a temporary 24hr tame.
What’s the point if it’s only for 24 hours??
