Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a gacha? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gacha.
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.
You need more than 160 stone walls for a 130, it comes out under 100%, just fyi. Hope these saves someone the time it didnt for me thanks to dododex
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.
Quetz can lift it unless you use a platform saddle with sunken foundations. Gacha got a pretty big hitbox
Plant species y traps are the fastest method and give the highest taming efficiency.
Feed it firearms to tame with high efficiency
Just tame a 145 on official (x1), with 160 stone foundation and he finish 208 (+63 bonus level
Be prepared to have them walk around in circles and drop some of their tame percent. Bring more mats than it says.
Listen I know it’s a pain in the butt, but make stone arrows. It takes them just a hair quicker.
Gatchas arr no longer able to be picked up by wyverns.
Just drain the owls stamina multiple times to drop pellet when it eats
Atleast in top 5 but usually top 3 for everything it gathers, it also gives you useful crystals when fed so it is a needed tame if you play extiniction
Bring 4 times more Them Dododex says
Stone is better than stone tools for taming effective.
Tam tamed with war Maps and got 98% taming efficiency!
Snow Owl Pellets seem to give higher taming efficiency than Tek structures. I get about 89% on pellets vs 70% on tek structures (using tek walls)
Flying owl + stimberrys = all the pellets u need
Use owl pellets, if you dont have an owl just use stone it works really well.
When rasing I found fiber works great, as it stacks to 300. So it has more to chew threw. Be aware it eats so much food.
Normal Gathas don’t spawn during the Christmas event
