ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
If you ever want to tame one, bring a bola. Think of the gallimimius as a parasaur in maximum overdrive. It runs away at lightning speed, meaning you either need a) a quick acting tranq with low dps, or b) a bola and either a club or tranq arrows(bring a primitive tool though, they are very fragile creatures for their size.
Also, bring some narcotics. The torpor drains fast if left unsupervised, and that starts the whole process all over again, part 3 goes into more depth.
One more thing, bring a tough mount/tough gear. They spawn in the redwoods, which are at the center of the island(for context for new players, rexes, direbears, purlovias, and carnos oh my), which you also have to cross the swamps(titanoboas, sarcos, baryonx, megaphirana, and kapros). If you canβt pick it up, you actually have a two part mission 1) finding and taming and 2) the escort mission. Bringing some gear that can get you through both segments is key.

Who thinks this looks like a overcharged comply?
Gallimimuses can be picked up with argies at least on mobile.
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.
Bolas DO WORK on MOBILE. just tested it out
Found a female and stole there egg and she will chase you and than trap her in your trap

NEVER LEAVE THIS BUGGER ALONE FOR 2 SECONDS, THEY WAKE UP FAST IVE FAILED MANY TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS
alright so uh narcotics are useful but bio toxin is better.
from what iβve 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
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....
