Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a gacha? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gacha.
Just do thatch if needed but if you have a basilisk it worth a shot to tame with metal
Bring 4 times more Them Dododex says
Don't forget that Gotchas eat their young!
Tam tamed with war Maps and got 98% taming efficiency!
When breeding Gachas you need to drop Stone and Berry’s to keep its hunger up otherwise the stone will not keep it fed or you can use campfires if you are rich.
If you are wanting to tame with the snow owl. You can use the owl’s secondary attack to freeze the owl and use up the stamina. This will force it to eat more and will produce the pellets for taming the gatcha. It also works well once you have it to get higher quality crystal drops from it. Just put the owl in front of the gatcha and then when the owl drops pellets the gatcha will pick it up automatically.
TAMING VERY SIMPLE AND ALSO VERY ANNYOING
1) Say goodbye to all your metal cuz these big Bois will eat it all in one bite ): they can be found on green portal on the high ground
2) Make alot of metal walls cuz these Bois are fat
3) if you want a low level use like 2 metal walls
4) these poop rocks very useful they give lots of goods make for and turn them into slaves 🤨
5) the best way to get cementing paste just rob the beavers homes they just to poor now days 😭
Make sure when you drop items you drop them from YOR inventory, DO NO drop them from your mount or you will WASTE your items. I learned this after I drop 100 stone walls from my tame to a lvl 150 and then I hopped off and threw down 90 more and it was only 45%tamed. So I wasted 100 stone walls.
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,
if you want to trap it you should put metal billboards when it’s sitting down
Pretty much just throw all your junk at it and it will eat it and be tamed.
Super easy! I have 4 of them. All you have to do is mine rocks with an axe and drop what you mine. (Yes, even the metal)
I wanted to add this because I had to look EVERYWHERE to find out why my Gachas wouldn't eat to tame up!
Gachas who are in the vacinity of other Gachas (live or dead) sometimes will not eat the things you throw on the ground for them. Go ahead and kill the other Gachas(s) than the one you want to tame harvest the corpse(s), move out of render distance, return and try again.
Gachas who have recently been in combat also will sometimes not eat things thrown on the ground. Kill any hostile creatures in the area, punch the Gachas, move out of render distance, return and try again.
This last bit is just speculation because it needs more testing. I believe metal doorframes may provide less taming effectiveness than other metal structures. I would've gotten a 135 Gacha to lvl 202 with metal walls but using doorframes it tamed at 200.
Gacha have no intervals for taming. They need to constantly eat. Their technical interval is maybe 5 seconds while it is chewing. The second it stops eating it starts to drop tame. Have another stack on the ground waiting for it before it is done eating. I am going to set up storage boxes next to the taming area to stock before I start my tame given I ported to Asgard and don’t have the Dino storage capacity available.
Use metal billboards to hold it in place to avoid wandering and taming loss.
I have also read online to try stacks of 20 and not 10. I have not tested this, so don’t take the stacks of 20 as fact. But thought I would include it so you can test for yourself.
To raise baby stone behemoth gates give 400 to food they eat it by the stack. Berries work but eat eats a ton and I'm talking about over 2-3k in weight of berries in its inventory and it ate all within an hour. Also do t try the adding to inventory by hand, drop the stack. It will only pick up stacks if its standing not sitting.
You can't tame gacaclauses only the original ones
This slothy boi gives your tribe an abundance of different resources such as pearls (sil and black) , loot, oil, element dust etc
You can tame it with saddles but not it's saddle cryopods skins anything
Snow owl pellets appear to be ideal taming food.
This is a passive live time If your targeting for certain rare items like organic polymer(if you never crack the crystal the organic polymer will not spoil) or are looking for black pearls or even ele gachas just find a spawn with a lot of them and wait for all the crystals to spawn and drop once dropped you can grab them and crack them and will get certain things , those things you get are on that production list(remember to look at the crystal to see the gachas level so you know which one to tame (this method only takes roughly 6-7 minutes and saves on waisting your mining drill and gasoline , do not drop items to tame it when it is sitting down it will bug the gacha and cause it to move in wide circles after it eats 1 thing each time
