Tips & Strategies

What are tips for drakeling? Tips and strategies for drakeling in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Passive: Use torch to draw it close and it will land on your shoulder. It will then whisper murderous intent in your ear or whisper greedy intent in your ear. Complete its progress bar and you should be able to feed it. It likes exceptional kibble or a carnivorous diet
Use a torch to lure to you. Once it’s on your wrist it will ask you to craft, harvest or kill within a 1:30 timer. After complete it will ask to be fed. Preference is Extraordinary Kibble.
1: Bring a torch (and equip it)
2: It'll come towards you and get on your shoulder
3: You'll now need to get one of three sources of xp; Harvest xp, Killing xp, or Crafting xp
4: Once you fill up the appropriate bar with the corresponding xp, put kibble into your taming slot (I used cyan) and feed it.
5: Repeat steps 3 & 4 until tamed
Use a torch to lure in a Drakeling, kill other stuff, feed it, receive praise for being good bob.
Is basically sky cat.
To tame, light a torch stand near it. It’ll eventually attach to your arm. It’ll give you a task: kill, harvest, craft. The task has a 90 second timer. I crafted 10 cloth hats for crafting task, killed a a dilo and parasaur for kill, and harvest about 2 metal nodes (can be anything rock, metal, obsidian, tree, berries, etc., but better quality node faster task completes). Once you complete the task then you feed it kibble or meat. Rinse repeat
You need lost colony expansion pack. To tame you hold a torch until it lands on the ground then you move closer to feed drakeling from hotbar
Only winter ones spawn on lost colony
Remember guys, this is a small dragon that is also a shoulder pet. Look hard for one as they can be hard to see.
What the hell just happend, don’t attack them
Valguero Biome Spawns:
Autumn Drakelings - Jungle, The Redwoods, Tundra
Spring Drakelings - The White Cliffs
Summer Drakelings - Urwald Swamp
Winter Drakelings - Snow Mountains
Remember to keep in mind that each variant can occasionally wander into the outskirts of its surrounding biomes.
Wanna tame these lil fellaz here is how to:)
You can find them in pretty much any map from what I know. When you find one pull out a torch and do its needs..... I NAMED MINE RAINBOW SPRINKLES DONT JUDGE
If you dont want to kill anything, I found hopping on and off a tame does not seem to drop the taming. Once off, pull the torch out and let it land and a new option will be available.
Also killing your own babies does not work.
Prime cooked jerky works good when taming
They spawn in the highlands
on rag
THINGS YOU NEED TO TAME A DRAKELING:
-Exceptional Kibble or higher (last slot of hot bar)
-Torch
-Harvesting tools (pick, hatchet, etc)
-Weapons with ammo (shotgun works best but any will do
1.) Find your Drakeling. Gene Scanner is the best way to do this. They are very small and easy to miss, about the size of a Dimorph.
2.) Equip the torch. The Drakeling will fly up to you and land on your shoulder.
3.) The Drakeling will want you to gain a certain type of experience: kill experience (kill wild animals), harvest experience (collect resources), or crafting experience (craft from engrams).
4.) Once you have gained enough experience from doing those things, press the E button to automatically feed kibble from the hotbar and advance taming progress.
5.) The Drakeling will now want you to gain a different type of experience. Get the EXP and feed more kibble. Repeat until tamed.
I am not sure if taming progress/affinity is affected by kill species/kill level, what resources are harvested or how much is harvested, or if what engrams you craft makes a difference. More research is required. But the EXP requirements are pretty low on 1x official so just use whatever is nearby and focus on speed more than efficiency.
A couple of things to keep in mind.
-Once the Drakeling lands on your shoulder, you will have two minutes to complete the taming. If you fail to tame, it will leave your shoulder and you will have to lure it with the torch again.
-YOU MUST BE ON FOOT THE WHOLE TIME! If you mount a tame at any time, the Drakeling will run away and you will have to start over.
-The taming process is the same regardless of what season the Drakeling is. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter have different appearances and effects but are all tamed the same way.
-The Drakeling is not hostile to you or your tames, but if there are a lot of wild dinos nearby it can sometimes be hard to get it to come to you.
Once the Drakeling has been tamed, put it on your shoulder like any pet. Open up your inventory and a new item called Attack will be there. Equip this item and the Drakeling will move off your shoulder to become a weapon. From here you can use it in combat, it has a bite attack and a breath attack. You can also use the Drakeling to give buffs to your tames (right click). Unequip sends it back to the shoulder. Also, holding R to bring up the radial menu while it’s on your shoulder will allow you to toggle the parachute and the Drakeling will automatically slow your fall and prevent fall damage.
Enjoy your new pet!
Holding a torch in your hand will make it come to you!
easier to do it while using a tek suite. The items you will need are a torch and a pickax or hatchet whichever you prefer but if you’re not wearing a tek suite that's ok. so all you do you go to whichever one’s closest to you on scanner you’ll need to pull out the torch at that point it’ll come to you and attach itself to your shoulder and it’ll ask you to do one of three things whether it’s gaining experience through killing creatures gaining experience through harvesting or it’ll ask you to gain experience through crafting.
Gets agitated with small creatures. Will follow large creatures like carch. Almost feels like a hawk. Tried several babies which it seemed to want, and wild creatures. Wild dead dimorphadon it went nuts for. Babies it does the same attack and kills. Tries to eat it. Unfortunately no taming bar. It Still says doesn't want to be tamed rn.
