If you attach a torch to your belt then fly into the pile of dirt it works like explosives but a lot cheaper.

Up this so more see this

Ark Logic at its fullest:

Find a nice fasola house, bomb his home until he comes out and is dazed. Then jump on his back and crack his head into rocks until he is asleep. (Knock some sense into him) Then while he is asleep shove meat down his throat until he loves you and will risk his life for you.

Makes perfect sense

To knock it out, use any sort of explosive (Grenades are cheap and have early unlock) and throw it at the Fasola while it's underground. It will look like a pile of sand and shouldn't react if you go up to it.

As soon as the explosion goes off, run up to the Fasola and mount it. You only have a few seconds to do this. Once you're on, try to find any nearby rocks/bones/etc and run into them. Every rock you hit will increase torpor and control. If control runs out, you will be dismounted.

DO NOT GO ON CLIFFS !! If the Fasola goes into the air at all, you will automatically dismount and lose all progress. Depending on your rates, it could take a long time to gain enough torpor.

TL;DR : Explode it, mount it, hit rocks, avoid cliffs.

For taming hitting metal nodes with it adds more torpor than salt nodes do

When trying to knock it out steer it to the salt rocks, they give alot more torpor than normal rocks

While taming: Do not try to drive into the middle inner land parts. Stay in the dunes and search for Salt Rock groups. Hold your map open while driving, you can see the areas on it. It is more than 10x faster than trying to hit normal rocks at the dunes edge. Also you will not get dismounted with this way.

On 1x a 150 takes 16 exceptional kibble or higher variant.

3x is 6 exceptional kibble.

Best method to tame is pre plan your route placing markers on the map for bones, sulfur and salt nodes. Do not hit the rib cages or skulls as they can’t be broken and have a likely chance to push you up and out of the ground which will knock you off of the faso. When you are about to fill the torpor to the max start pushing the controls for jumping and running as there is a chance you will be stuck inside the faso when it falls asleep. I suggest bringing 10 c4 if that’s what you are using and a wyvern on passive. Place c4 then whistle follow on the wyvern and detonate the c4. Repeat until tamed. And good luck everyone

The type of rock really matters! If you are able to locate Crystal or metal nodes then make sure to hit those as it gives more torpor!

After the break rock/metal/salt process when it's unconscious tame it with exceptional kibble (yellow)

I like using c4 as I can throw it down and get far enough away to were if it doesn’t work I can get away far enough to not get attacked
