you can definetly tame these with tranq arrows. put some wooden spikes around it and feed it soothing balm if you can. you dont need too much narcotics if you use soothing balm
If it rolls up into a ball, get out of render distance on a flyer or fast tame for a bit then come back it should normal then you can tranq it once or more if lucky, rinse and repeat. Their torpor drops at 2.4 per second, as long as you keep pumping tranqs in under 30-45 secs(more than enough time to render out and back) it should get knocked if it's health allows it
In Valg. U can tame these when lvl 9, with boomerang. ( you have to spawn in chalk hills tho )
So if you’re on scorched earth just use a boomerang they are slow. So you can just easily boomerang them and have a new fried
I managed to tame a low level one with tranq arrows + Crossbow. I shot his head a few times then I tried shooting at his feet. When he went down he had half health.
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use tranq arrows it will kill it and I found a lvl 150 one and I stuck 200 tranqs in its head and it still didn't go down.
The amount of algae is incorrect for small tribes. Would take 14 for 145
This thing can't be tamed using bole.you need to use tranq arrow if we shoot it it we attack.so avoid its attack and hit in its head
Once you're deep in tranq darts trying to tame this, punch it... I punched it and it unwound itself to start running, punched it again and it became unconscious.. almost used 15 darts before I knew the shell absorbs half torpor 🥲🥲 he's a level 2 😂
Their torpor rate is lower than most creatures, needs to be updated.
I haven't been playing long enough to know if this is an actual change but when I was taming it with a crossbow, headshots worked fine and it didn't curl up, it just ran away(slowly)
Finding this animal can be extremely difficult especially on official servers if you don't have a flyer yet. It's less rare near mountains and metal spawns. One of the most easy places to find one on the Island, is in the middle of redwood.
