To tame every animal easier what I do is kill it take its implant and revive it and knock it out because at an obelisk it’s easier to tame it because nothing will attack you and at a custom revival platform it’s even easier because most of the time it’s at your base where it’s peaceful now it is expensive so you only want to do it with hard animals like this one and make sure they are low level.
