Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a ferox? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ferox.
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
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
There primaries easy mid_game tames if you listen to these steps.
1.find Ferox and surround with benthom gates
2.sneak in and feed element
3.run out and repeat step 2 intill tamed
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
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.
Why does dex say this is “early game?” You need freaking element to tame it!!!!
Fact:
When taming it in its large form it will display the text ‘Survive...’
If you have a horse do the back leg kick and knock it out for an easy tame and you only lose about one level.
A good way to tame is to have a few shields(at least metal) and give it the element, back up against a wall, and block. Keep repeating it. If it runs away, stay in the same general area as you last saw it, they will come back.
To the guy who wanted to know where they spawn. They spawn smack bang in the middle of the arctic.
Hope this was helpful. ✌️
Track the mission into the Fro-zone,go their and kill all the bears. There should be a lot of Ferox, when you tame bring extra ele just in case. Make sure when you feed element grapple to the roof of the cave and wait for it to go back to normal. Keep on doing this process and you should have it tamed.
Also something I found was if you are wearing another Ferox or maybe even on your shoulder it won’t let you tame it unless it’s off so keep in mind also. Again not sure if it is just mine or what hope this helps
As of March 27, 2020 if you use element to tame a Ferox they DO NOT gain level whenever you tame them. This is probably a bug so don’t waste your element!
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
Use creature that can climb and use something like a grapple to get up and down climbing creature is really just a sacrifice just in case but you can sit on it on wall/ceiling while you wait
Either find the Ferox Cave at 83.9,47.6 be careful as it is crawling with Polar Bears or go where there is always a snow storm and bring a Snow Owl,Bloodstalker, or Parasaur (Parasaur not recommended),find a Ferox using predator vision or spider vision then feed it element then grapple to a mountain and wait it out rinse and repeat, or for the Ferox cave build and enclosure large enough for the transformed version of the Ferox so it stays trapped and feed it element get it stuck let it go back to normal form and the redo it.
I may be incorrect but I don’t think the taming rates for the ferox can be changed, on 5x taming speed a 300 ferox took about 20 element, I think it’ll always be 5% per element
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
Feed them element and fly up wait until they go small again then do it again if it's not tamed.
Hope this helped
