Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a elderclaw? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a elderclaw.
If tending requirement item isn’t showing up but the timer started, carry a piece of fertilizer or feces and it will show.
Easy Tame. Find an adult and kill it. In its inventory will be a seed. Take the seed and put in a large crop plot or Oasisaur. Fertilizer, water, and till soil. Have in your inventory sap, black pearls, animate bile, leech blood, honey, and biotoxon. Watch the seedling it will ask for one of the above like the bug does. Feed it. It does not have to be in the last spot on ur hotbar. Stay near the seedling and do this process over and over and over. The seedling will grow to a medling and this will happen 2X. It will then become a hatchling. Hatch ur baby elderclaw. Now raise like any other baby. It eats both meat and berries and will feed off of the maeguana.
To anyone wanting to do like i did and use an oasisaur. Build fountain then pillars then ceiling then place graden plot. That way they don't disappear when you hatch them.
If there is no timer, open inventory of crop plot then close. Timer fixed 😊
When tending to the crop you will get one of these items. There’s possibly more but this is all I’ve come across so far.
Leech blood
Biotoxin
Sap
Black pearl
Giant bee honey
Ammonite bile
If you’re going to raise it from seedling you need to have a large crop plot, it requires 300% green house effect so you need a green house that is 2 by 4, fertilizer, all the required stuff the seedling will ask for and of course make sure it’s irrigated. In between growth spurts the seedling will ask for things back to back. It is ready to harvest when it is fruiting. You have to use the command wheel to give the stuff. I had a 135 seedling harvest out to a 207 baby. It was a fun process!
kill them to get a seed and put it into a large plot to grow must have water and fertilizer
Spawns on Aberration with babies in tow at times. While tending it on Ab, it will not ask for ammonite bile. As of now, it’s also blocked on Ab from being retrieved once cryo’d (disabled dino class) so avoid doing until Wildcard fixes the issue.
Plant Elderclaw seed in large crop plot. Must be fertilized, irrigated and max greenhouse effect in order to grow. Make sure you have plenty of biotoxin, ammonite bile, leech blood, black pearls, honey and sap. Seedling wants tending every 5 min or efficiency goes down. Once it reaches fruiting, you can harvest your little Elderclaw cub by opening the menu.
For breeding they drop seeds for their egg form.
You plant it in a crop plot I used large as anyone should for crops.
It will consume a good amount of fertilizer so do not use base unless you want to babysit it constantly.
3-4 stages of growth if you want to count "fruiting" as a stage like traditional plants and takes a few ARK DAYS. When it hits this stage walk up to the gigantic bud and you can kick out the baby and claim it.
They eat MEAT and BERRIES like Direbears so it makes it easier to keep fead.
Have fun!
Kill the bear by any means and youll recueve a seed. Plant the seed in your crop plots/greenhouse with fertilizer and water.
However you will need to feed it cravings in the same fashion as Rhynio, thru its radial menu. Expect to feed it roughly 10 times. You have a 5minute window before taming efficiency is lost. So this is the phase that boosts levels from the previously wild dino.
It will ask for 1x of Sap, Honey, Black Pearl, Ammonite Bile, Bio Toxin.
They should make more bears in ascended now there is only the direbear and this (not counting the bosses)
Can also be found on Ragnarok. Same taming process. Make sure you have plenty of honey BEFORE you plant. Don't worry if you lose taming effectiveness...you'll get back to 100% the next time you tend to it.
Mine also asked for fertilizer as well as sap, leech blood, ammonite bile, biotin and black pearls
Raise it adorable babies and you will get Groot bear if you’re starting off as seedling harvest, the little seed or Cubs or whatever you wanna call him
Found on astraeos top right of the map
Found in Valguero forest 62,25.
Killed with a tame. Dropped a seed. It had a juvenile and was able to tame.
Use farrage wepen to kill (best wepen a sniper.)
Spawn on abbaration but dont plant it there. You lose the seed. Because you can't use them on that map.So you can't raise them
Don't forget if you see an elder claw with the baby. Kill the baby. Also they drop a seed also
