Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a gacha? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gacha.
It is a good tip for starters it's easy to tame just throw rocks close to it
Don’t throw out your ascendant shotgun, you will really regret. Talking from experience :(
A great starter tame, 1, the Gacha saddle unlocks at lvl 38 2,, they can give you SO many variants of loot, 3, they also give ramshackle and other tier weapons 4, and all you tame them with is stone, flint, thatch and wood, up so beginners know
I usually use thatch walls to tame them up it’s really easy to get the materials and it’s only gonna take like 10 min on official rates
If you didn’t know how to tame it u need to drop stone walls at it’s feet! I hope this helped someone!
If you’re playing Genesis Part 2 and you come across a loot drop open it and one thing i’ve found on official is that some drops give lots of pipes, generator wires and water irrigation pipes which is basically free food for the gachas! You can also grind them for resources and craft them into other items/structures of your choosing aswell! Hope this helps.
When breeding them feed the babies hide. They eat it slower then anything else I found
Dodex says 775 stone for a lvl 20, but it actually took about 1300 (13 stacks) for me to tame one on an official server so beware! Always carry extra with you for back up purposes!
To tame a gacha follow these steps, When it sits down, trap it with wood billboards, then drop items and structures until its tamed. ( wait for it to sit down for better chance of taming )
With a baby gacha, it is best to use meat in the beginning. Berries are Not the right food, as it allows for their food health to go down too quickly which in turn allows for them to starve to death. Meat is best and then as they gain weight, both stone and meat can be used.
Bachatas love to eat green house stuff
Very easy to raise, just drop tons of stone infront of the baby. It will keep picking up stones no matter what it's weight cap is.you can fill unlimited stones like this and will never have to hand feed.
I took my argentavis and a doedicurus. Gathered as much stone as the doedi could handle (a few thousand), then dropped stacks of stone (from my inventory) a few at a time (short spoil time, be aware). A level 145 only took a few minutes this way.
Greenhouse windows seem to be the cheapest and quickest way to tame.
If you play on genesis, you can do mission to get ungrindable equipments, you can use those to tame this guy
Don’t do what I did and tame a level 90 by hand using berries.
When raising baby gachas, don’t put food into their inventory. Drop stacks of berries in front of them. The difference will be 5 berries as opposed to their weight being full so for eg 5k berries instead. And they do consume food fast. Also putting them in kangaroo pouch of mate boosted pair helps to slow consumption rate I believe.
Baby gacha will gain food any time any babies around them gain food, so raising them next to other babies until they can get on trough is an easy method of keeping their hunger up. Just don't leave render, as it prevents this method from working.
Once you tame one, place owl in front of gacha and the gacha will gather owl pellets.
Did they change the effectiveness of owl pellets? I went through 100 pellets and couldn’t even tame a lvl 55...
