Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a gacha? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gacha.
When raising place it right up against the parents and it will auto feed! DO NOT LEAVE RENDER DISTANCE! get a chair and get comfortable as you’re in for the long hall
Once you tame one, place owl in front of gacha and the gacha will gather owl pellets.
When raising young, drop stacks in front of it to pick up and devour, it will pick up the whole stack of meat
You have to feed them out of a players inventory, not a Dino’s.
Synatc the youtuber made a really good video on how to farm their crystals the link is below

After going through berries and berries and berries. Having 3-4 maewings set up. Staying up all night multiple times. Setting 3 snow owls by each one and still losing them or watching them burn through the food like it’s nothing—-
COOKED MEAT IS ABSOLUTELY THE ONLY WAY TO GO!
They eat it WAY SLOWER and you can have multiple babies on one maewing and juveniles and adolescents on only one trough. I have built multiple tel troughs and wasted so much time and resources on building isolated areas and independent feeding areas. Just pick up your dinos and set out your gachas like you would anything else. It’s so simple and everyone sees how fast they burn through food so nobody tries it. Cooked meat, in a maewing and then a trough (always have backups). That’s it. Nothing special about it. I have 8 juveniles and a couple of adolescents out for 10 hours now and haven’t even used a whole tel trough yet. So glad I figured it out finally. Hope this helps.
Rare mushrooms add 50 food per. Don't decay. Easy to get from megachelons. Rare flower work as well. Beware they starve extremely fast. So only food with high enough food value will keep them alive. Aka not the seeds u get from megachelons. That will cause them to starve faster than they can eat.
Normal Gathas don’t spawn during the Christmas event
Leveling up the Gachas crafting skill and feeding it above average food i.e. Tek Walls/Element they seem to drop better loot. Though they eat through it at an alarming rate.
Don’t use stone tools. Need to drop stackable items.
Gotches are wonderful pictures that will eat pretty much everything and produce the stuff you need stone is the cheapest thing to feed once they are tamed, tanning food in the wild includes tech metal stone wood foundations even basic materials such as stone wood fiberglass, crafted items like weapons clothing foundation gives you the best taming rate but they can and will eat anything do NOT accidentally drop a Cryo pod near them they will pick it up and eat ,it them they can produce most materials (black pearls ,silica pearls ,organic poly, element dust, stone, corrupted wood substitute for fungal wood clay raw salt and possibly a few other things I probably forgot ) they cannot make cement paste each one has a different production list you'll have to catch or keep breeding until you find the stuff you want I managed to breed an element one today 9/10/23 ( element and poly ones are rare to get )try getting a second one haven't got it yet but I'm hopeful,
With a maewing it is it finally possible to breed with it
Tbh all you need to do is mine stone alittle metal and some wood and drop it and it will start to tame, if ur by resources then it will help to. If you have a flying mount of any kind then that will help too, fly into a grove of trees and knock it out then just collect wood and give it to it.
When taming a Gacha, if you don't have a snow owl for the pellets, metal structures are the next best thing. Metal spike walls can be made without cementing paste and count as metal structures.
Get owl, burn it’s stam by freezing, it’ll give you pellets, drop pellets on ground for Gacha. Tamed a 130 in a minute on x3. Super easy. Also got a green riot chest piece and yellow fab sniper from sparkly crystals wild ones drop so there’s that lol
if you want to trap it you should put metal billboards when it’s sitting down
Plant species y traps are the fastest method and give the highest taming efficiency.
I tamed my gacha with stacks of 20 cooking pots. They aren’t that expensive and they can do 20 taming per stack with good effectiveness for a max level, so I suggest you use those.
The best way by far is to just use load of stone and try to keep it eating a all times. I tried stone structure for a level 145 and I made 36 structures and it only went up 7 percent. I used a ton of stone for the same gacha and it tamed in under 5 minutes (don't drop them one by one)
Quetz can lift it unless you use a platform saddle with sunken foundations. Gacha got a pretty big hitbox
