Look here if you wanna tame it…
So, to tame one of these sonic speedy-like creatures, you’ll need about 29 toxin things that you get from killing cniadra or whatever the jellyfish are called, about 7, after you have it put it in your flyer or any other Dino you will be riding to tame it, so that way it doesn’t expire, Look for your desired level and then get about 5 bolas incase you miss, after you bola it tranq it two times in the head, ⚠️Don’t knock out in water or it will drown⚠️, One it knocks out feed it berries or crops or any herbivore foods you have, once you feed it grab the bio toxin from your Dino and put the bio toxin in the gallimimus inventory, once the torpor goes down to 478 feed it biotoxin and just repeat once the torpor goes down to 478 or 458, Once it’s tamed you will have to do the Hunt: raptor quest to get a free gallimimus saddle!(its three people type of saddle) so make sure to pump the points into speed and health and enjoy your speedy friend!

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.
Gallimimuses can be picked up with argies at least on mobile.
Bolas DO WORK on MOBILE. just tested it out
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!
When knocking a Gallimimus shoot it with a 2-5 second delay so it wont die
NEVER LEAVE THIS BUGGER ALONE FOR 2 SECONDS, THEY WAKE UP FAST IVE FAILED MANY TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS
Once you’ve gone through the pain of trying to knock one out without it dying or escaping, the next problem arises… torpor. It goes down so insanely quickly that it can be rather difficult to figure out what to do about it. The most effective way in my experience is just spam a crap ton of narcoberries on it which’ll keep the torpor balanced.
Hope this helped ya!

Please ^ if this was helpful!
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, up if it was
Just saw someone saying bolas dont work on mobile, they do in fact work on mobile!
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
I left this fool alone for 3 seconds…
NEVER LEAVE THEM ALONE
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.
To tame a Gallimimus you will need a few Bolas. These creatures are very fidgety and won't stay still.
After knock out, feed narcoberries, bio-toxin, or similar to keep it unconscious (they wake up quickly).
Feed a Gallimimus Carrots or mejoberries if you can't farm yet. Other berries work, but not as well. Just keep feeding it toxins to keep the Torpor up and that's about it.
If you are far from base and have no saddle, get the Gallimimus to a safe place and return home, then use the request option in the tame menu. This will teleport it to your base without anything in its inventory.
BE CAREFUL! Gallimimus usually live with Carnos, Tyrannosaurus, and other unpleasant creatures. I learned that the hard way... 😵
If you knock one of these things out i recommend using narcoberrys because the torpor will go up slower so it stays down longer
Easy tame just use tranq arrows. Oh wait why he dead with one shot....
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.
DO Not I repeat NEVER take a Gallimimus egg if you are low level on foot....
