ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
So much work, so many darts wasted (they die faster than they tame), and the thing dies to nothing more than 2 low level dilophosaurs in 5 minutes I was away from it. I am in tears 😩
Incredibly fragile. Difficult to leave unattended as they cannot even protect themselves or you. Also because of a fast torpor delpletion rate, you will end up needing many more darts than calculated. Even in a trap they move fast enough to miss or having difficulty to keep darts at thw fast enough rate.
More Gallimimus Taming & KO Tips
Gallimimuses can be picked up with argies at least on mobile.
Bolas DO WORK on MOBILE. just tested it out
Taming these guys is a pain, since they stay asleep for 10 secs. But the idea to keep these guys asleep is by bringing bio toxin. Since it has a lot of torpor when consumed,. But what sucks about biotoxin is that it spoils.
How to tame: Gallimimus. (This is for mobile players only!)
You will need: Argy with saddle, Dimetrodon kibble, Bola, 35 Narcotic, 20 mejoberries and 5 Tranq darts and a longneck rifle.
Step 1: Find a Gallimimus in the swamp.
Step 2: Pick up the Gallimimus with your argy, and carry it back to the island that your base is on.
Step 3: Land your argy, and put the bola in your hot bar.
Step 4: Bola the Gallimimus.
Step 5: Make sure your longneck was in your hot bar, and shoot until unconsious.
Step 6: Give it the Dimetrodon kibble, narcotics and mejoberries.
Step 7: Feed it narcotic whenever you feel it needs it.
Step 8: Once it's tamed, carry it to your base.
Step 9: Target it when you get "Tame: Gallimimus", and get the rewards.
You can also complete "Hunt: Raptor" and get a Gallimimus saddle.

NEVER LEAVE THIS BUGGER ALONE FOR 2 SECONDS, THEY WAKE UP FAST IVE FAILED MANY TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS
Drop in a taming pen if possible. Darts work best so you don't kill it. Wakes up fast so keep a close eye on it.
Easy tame just use tranq arrows. Oh wait why he dead with one shot....
DO Not I repeat NEVER take a Gallimimus egg if you are low level on foot....
alright so uh narcotics are useful but bio toxin is better.
from what i’ve seen:
Bio Toxin - 80 Torpor + Can be fed to creatures constantly
Narcotic - 40 Torpor + Can be fed to creatures
constantly
Narcoberries - 7.5 Torpor + Can be fed to herbivores constantly, but not carnivores
hope this is helpful
Use a bola to keep it in one place, and depending on the level, build a small box around it with fence foundations. Once it is running, you will never catch it.
