ARK: Survival Evolved 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.

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. Up if this was useful.
Who thinks this looks like a overcharged comply?
Best way to tame:
1 Bola it
2 shoot it with tranq darts, not arrows
3 feed it mejoberries for fastest tame time
4 run like sonic the hedgehog on your new speedy friend!
Just saw someone saying bolas dont work on mobile, they do in fact work on mobile!
Gallimimuses can be picked up with argies at least on mobile. Like so people can see
Bolas DO WORK on MOBILE. just tested it out
Guys dont sleep when taming this mf
Their torpor timer is about 2 minutes and a hide sleeping bag rest is about 4 hours in game or 4 minutes irl
So if u dont wanna see the gallimimus become john cena dont sleep
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
