Ragnarok easy tame.
1) tame a few Rex, save the poop.
2) feed the poop to dung beetle(desert area).
Congratulations you have a beetle...
After you tame a dung beetle, you can throw it in a cage on wonder. That way they don't get in the way.
If you didn’t know or you can’t figure out how to get fertilizer from one of these things here’s how to do it!
1 Tame one (you can find them in caves and The dunes)
2 create a small pen (don’t use foundations)
3 set them on wandering inside the pen
4 put poop in inventory
5 you’ll be getting fertilizer soon!
Hope this was helpful!
If you have "Empty Cave" problem in single player, which make you cant find this guy, here's two tips
1. Wait one or two minute near the cave exit, cave creatures need time to spawn in single player
2. Just reload your game, this is the way to force-spawn them (this probably wont work on mobile)
On Valguero, they only spawn in the scar so be careful for Wyvs but grappling hooks work perfectly in PVE if you’re alone. I used a PT for easy getaways :)
Poo. Tame with poo. If you have a cryopod when you release a dino it will poo. Free poo. Big poo is great. Much faster than rotten meat.
Make a separate building for the beetle. It wanders around, and can be quite annoying, as it's usually in the doorway. Put it near your greenhouse, or somewhere easily accessible to encourage your tribe to keep it loaded with poo.
If you hit them they won’t start running away. They will run at you and take out there anger by smacking you with its horn. And ima just say it they hit you.... it’s gonna hurt.
These are passive tames meaning you tame them while awake. They are very easy to tame. You can just feed it poop or you can pick it up with a argentavis and put in a box.
