ARK: Survival Evolved Companion

Tips & Strategies

It's a longer tame for new players, but can make getting your first behemoth gates up so much easier, and stone is a useful resource for most of the early-mid game

If you set it to wander it gathers stone then comes back to you right before it gets encumbered, so they autofarm stone basically up if helpful
First you bola, then shoot in the head. Shooting in the shell will lead to hundreds of wasted tranqs. Please up this so you donβt wast your time with an unneeded amount of narcotics.
Use Simple Rifle and Tranq Darts instead of arrows to keep from damaging too much. Like for people to see.
So much misinformation here. Where to begin lol ok so as of Aug 2023, you can knock out w tranq arrows no problem, just go for level 80+ shoot in the head not the shell, wait 5 seconds between shots. You canβt bola them so ignore that comment. Creatures do not take torpor damage when they are caught by bear traps so ignore that comment too. Someone said to use biotoxin to keep them unconscious thatβs a terrible plan because these guys wake up pretty fast, and they take quite awhile to tame high levels. You want to use narcoberries because they take the longest to take effect, the time it takes to fill up all the way is invaluable compared to filling it up fast.
How does this break regular stone but stone walls donβt break?!?!Up if confused!
When your in the south and your looking for one just start going north and light one up with traqs and I recommend using crops or dilo kibble or for PC reg kibble they level up kinda fast
[Colt] [Im on mobile btw] Please like so ppl can see :D
The new update reduced the weight of stone on this bad boy by 75% *BUMP*
Be sure to shoot the doedicurus on it's underside, not the shell, the shell only takes half torpor
They are excellent at getting stone, but they cant damage stone buildings..... im confused
Use a equus when itβs balled up to tame fast
