I’d highly recommend using a good imprinted managarmr to tame this. They don’t damage element veins with their ice breath and are small enough to NOT aggro the dread. Simply feed the big guy some element and kite him to an alpha element vein (smaller veins give significantly less taking effectiveness). Then, fend off waves of corrupted creatures (you cannot hurt the dread by attacking, don’t worry). They get a significant attack and defense buff against large creatures like gigas and extinction titans. I’m breeding 5 to take them on right now!

If you use a giga, you can aggro it and have it follow you anywhere, then cryo the giga and feed the dread an element to lure it the last bit to minimize the element usage. Don't do this with a wild tamed giga since if you get hit, the giga will rage, but if you raised and imprinted a giga they will only get around a third of their rage.

1.Punch it and aggro it to make it follow you(easier than using a bunch of element)

2.when it gets close enough to the element vein feed it 1 piece of element and get it to start the taming(gamma-alpha = 35-100% taming effectiveness)

3.use good weapons such as shotguns(pump) and if you have them use the bladewasps like this (tower)

(Dont use dinos as the dread will aggro) protect the dread from attacks from corrupted creatures

4.The dread will continue eating until fully tamed and will gain a shield to protect it while eating, when it finishes the vein it will be destroyed so no element but instead you get a titankiller

5.tame two high levels and bread them to get a imprinted mate pair for an easy forest titan kill(make sure to level into only melee)if you want to tame the forest titan its about 3-4 cannonballs per node with a max level with all lvls pumped into melee so bring about 30 cannon balls if you are bad at aiming if not more

There you go, taming for the forest titan and dreadnaughtus by yours truly

Taming method:

(Don't bring any tamed creature, Dread would attack them)

1. Feed it with element, he will follows you for 1 minute

2. Bring him to the element nodes ON FOOT(The alpha one give more taming effectiveness)

3. After he arrived, he will start eating or something to the element nodes and the taming progress will be increased

4. Your job is to defend him against the corrupted creature

Used a thyla to fend against the corrupted creatures and noticed the health of the dreadnought decrease dramatically while thyla bit the creatures surrounding it. Nearly killed the dreadnought while it was eating a vein. The Dread was filled with Health prior to it engaging the vein. so others prevent from risking their taming progress due to bleed effect from thyla.
