Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a ferox? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ferox.
Sometimes when u feed them element they will duplicate which can be good if you've found a good lvl female
KO tame is no longer a thing as they won't KO. Took 5 ele to tame a level 15 that immediately anti-mesh died.
Why does dex say this is “early game?” You need freaking element to tame it!!!!
Use a riot shield and hold your ground. It’s crazy easy compared to the grapples.
Get 20 element, use element near it and RUN!!! Repeat this until it gets to 95% then when it is small again do it one more time and RUN and ones it is small again it will be yours!
Make sure to put it in the behemoth gate in a square to take the grapple to the wall it will transform then wait till it gets smaller then go down to give it more element
Easiest way to tame feed it then freeze with snow owl once it transforms keep it frozen for about 30 seconds it will turn nack to tiny mode then repeat until tamed
Take note that the ones on Fjordur are technically cave creatures and aren't meant to be tamed. Because of this their stats tend to bug out often and they get a inventory bug where you can't move the items in their bigger form until they revert back to their small form. (So make sure to turn off harvesting) You can however find them spawn up to 300, which when tamed will go to 450, meaning you can get some very powerful ones without having to breed any generations, if you're feeling rather lazy.
When it duplicates it also keeps taming progress
Tame a ferox give it a gas mask it's so cute with the gas mask
It's best if you feed it element and then when it's coo coo use harpoon net so it doesn't attack you
Just so that all and anyone who decide to tame a ferox,they sometimes need to be fed 2 element at a time to procede in taming.
When you feed it element, if you are in the cave, you can use a grapple and get to the top of the cave while the Ferox rages and then you can drop back down to keep feeding it!

If you’re on gen 1 and you’re taming them in the “Finding Fro-Zone” mission cave then bring a shot gun with at least 400 ammo and stand above the ledge at the opening of the cave to kill the bears. Once you’ve killed all of the bears it’s really easy
The ferox is not a knockout tame
To tame a ferox I recommend a bloodstalker. Then find one and feed it some element and wait for it to calm down while waiting on a tree or swinging around in a bloodstalker. Then once it’s calmed down go feed it more element, wash, rinse, repeat. Next I will be doing one of the following: astrodelphis, Maewing, noglin, tek stryder, voidwyrm
***Submitted 30 March 2020. Takes a lot more element than Dodoex says. On official Xbox x3 taming a level 125 ferox took around 22 element to tame. Worked out at just under 5% tame bar per feed. Make sure to use a bola once the ferox has enraged to hold it still. If you use it while ferox is small it won’t work.***
Go to the ferrox cave and bring a grappling hook and crossbow feed the element to the ferrox then grapple to the ceiling of the cave and wait until it turns small again rinse and repeat
A easy way to tame is to feed it element when net it the second it transforms it'll transform back to normal before the net ends and just rinse and repeat
To tame a ferox while you have no element, find a blizzard in a snow biome, then, go to the forest biomes before the blizzard ends to check what type of weather it is out of the snow biome. Element on lost island is made from refining element dust from killing tek dinosaurs
