Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a ferox? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ferox.
Ok so the max amount of element that you need is a liar. You need at least 15 element per ferox. And you have to try and survive it’s meltdowns. If you have REALLY good flak armour then you should be fine
Idk if it was my map settings but it's pretty hard you need alot of element, me and my brother tried with like 25 element and we only got like 10% tamed we also got almost absolutely murdered, this is why you don't do drugs kids:)
Hey Survivors! Just as a quick tip for you when you are trying to tame a Ferox, DO NOT USE A TEK SHIELD! It will deal the same amount of damage that the Ferox is (trying) to deal to you but instead hurts itself. AKA: It will die from the tek shield… Hope this was helpful!
You need grapple hooks or high stamina and movement speed
Knock it out element takes longer and is risky knock it out via punching it then feed it berries sadly it costs element to enrage it but it is worth it
WARNING FOR ANYONE TRYING TO TAME THEM IN “Search the Fro-Zone” mission cave! If you try to tame them in the cave then they can glitch through the map and you’ll loose them. You are better off searching for them in the eastern arctic biome than to risk loosing all of your element.
Best way to tame it is with the net gun. Feed it element while it's small and net it as soon as its big. The net will immobilize it till it's small again. Just make sure to net it when its fully grown and about to move. Rinse and repeat till tamed.
Go to extinction with a doedic, farm lights for dust. Transfer to genesis, convert dust to element. You only need to use one grapple hook. If in the cave. You can reel or far enough to never have to let go
Use grapple hooks to only drop down for feeds cause if you’re down there on the ground when he rages he’ll mess you up right quick
Feed them element and fly up wait until they go small again then do it again if it's not tamed.
Hope this helped
Gravelly to the roof in the ferox cave
1. You need to feed it element to Tame it. The first time is easy. Wait for it to do AND FINISH its emote and then feed it.
2. Survive it's enlarged form (it could be useful to trap it.)
3. Once it transforms back it will lay on the ground for a bit use that to get DISTANCE to it. It should run towards you for a bit don't stand right next to it. My testing proofed that staying away from it after it shrinks and letting it walk towards you greatly increases the chance for it to make it's emote right away which is what you need to wait for otherwise you will waist one element.
4. (just in case step) if it walks up on you and doesn't do the emote it will look at you for a moment and then run away. Once it runs away immediately run up to it and feed it element. That has the same effect as it doing the emote.
With the new Taming hud menu, Taming process can only be seen when it is small and everytime it transforms from small to big and big to small the marker is automatically removed.
It says it’s a shoulder pet but you can ride it... interesting...
Dododex is wrong. Just tamed a 135 on smalltribes and it took 17 element to tame
You will no longer be able to knockout tame(with berries/crops/seeds)
Ark devs have now just patched this glitch. Update released.
Track mission called searching the fro-zone and u find a cave full of them
The easiest way to take them is by tracking the mission "Searching the Frozone" which will bring you to a cave that is usually full of them. Buy 2 element feed it to one and grapple to the ceiling.
I cannot find them on lost island help??????
I'm in the aberration cave on lost island and it shows the ferox can't be tamed.
If you are taming these on gen 1, note that you can whack the red crystals in the volcano area to get element shards, which you can turn into element at a mission terminal at a 100:1 conversion.This process is infinitely more efficient with a mining drill.On gen 2, there is a certain stage where the space biome has asteroids where you can mine element and element shards.Once again, a mining drill will make it very efficient.
