If you are having troubles getting this thing to land on your shoulder try taking off all your armor first then pull out your torch and just stand close to it. After it lands on your shoulder put your armor back on and follow the prompt given on screen to start taming your new little buddy

To tame one of these beautiful little dragons you need a torch in hand and kibble in the last slot. I used extrodinary kibble but I think a lesser version works. Once it lands on your shoulder a bar with an xp gather task will show up. So far only 3 have pop up for me gathering xp, crafting xp, and kill xp. After you fill the bar use a kibble. Repeat untill tamed.

How to tame Drakelings

You will have 4 different variants

Spring

Summer

Autumn

Winter

Each variant will have its own buffs that are based on the biome you are in and can transfer xp to other Dino’s as well as give you a great amount of insulation and xp boost.

Now to tame them you’ll need a torch hold it out and the Drakeling will hover over to your shoulder. You will have 1 min and 25 seconds to complete an XP Task. Crafting, Killing, or harvest then you may feed it kibble to tame it.

To tame a drakeling you need to have a torch then search for the drakeling then equip your torch and wait until the drakeling comes on your shoulder but keep holding the torch then it maybe forces you to kill or level up crafting skills or others, if you did what it forces you then congrats you got a drakeling

Best tools for taming these, pump action shotgun/Chainsaw/pick/Sickle. FIRST Use a torch to get it to land on your shoulder. Use pump action to take large dinos down to instantly fill bar for kills, chainsaw wood or corpses for Harvest. Build wood foundations for Crafting(3 ceilings does the trick usually). Then Have extraordinary kibble in last slot to feed overtime as you Fill your drakelings request.

Good luck.

The first step is to get them to land on your shoulder. Food of any type will not work on them; instead, you need a torch to lure them. Once a Drakeling lands on your shoulder, the second step of taming will begin, where they will take you hunting.

You will see a set of instructions near your hotbar asking you to kill other creatures. Once the bar is full, you will need to feed the Drakeling a Superior Kibble. This will increase the taming progress by a small percentage, and the progress bar will reset, along with the timer. Repeat this until it reaches 100% and you’ve tamed your first Darkeling.

Equip a torch and get close to it. It will jump onto your shoulder and then just read at the bottom of the screen what it wants you to do. Seems to jump between tasks and feeding it taming food, which I think is superior kibble.

PS do not fall in the water while it is on your shoulder it will dismount it and mess up the taming

To Tame: Find a drakeling and hold a torch in your hand nearby it. Let it get on your shoulder and when it does it’ll request: Killing xp, crafting xp, or harvesting xp. You’ll have 2 minutes to fill the bar doing what it requests and once full you feed it with kibble in last slot on quick bar- repeat the process until it’s tamed! :)
