Use a snow owl to deflate the gasbags and keep them from flying away and you heal them so you wont kill them with tranqs. UP THIS COMMENT

Fun fact:
They are believed to be part of the Tardigrada phylum, a group of extremophile microgranisims that can survive literally any environment, from extreme cold to extreme radiation, these guys are the hardiest of animals.

They have a damage resistance when inflated, so use a snow owl to freeze and deflate. After latest update, they can no longer be picked up or hit with bola. Heavily suggested to clear area of hostiles before KO. If timed right, you can keep gasbag in same area while tranqing by alternating freezing and shooting.

When you are carrying a gasbag with a quetzal it takes wayyyyy more tranq darts then dodo dex says. It took around 110 darts for a lol 145. Was worth it but good thing i brough extra gear.

I had the server 1st Gasbag tame on legacy 915, lvl 145M. You can bola it, but it can still try and float away from you but when it lands it's still trapped. Headshots and lots of tranq arrows. Took about 130 to knock out. I kited mine into the city and under a bridge. Torpor drops super slow, used mejos and took about 11hrs. Its base weight was 4,400. It tamed out at lvl 150. Lvl oxygen so you can float longer. THEY DO TAKE FALL DAMAGE. To operate once tamed Rclick to inhale. Lclick to peck attack. C for a really fun knock back that works on wild dinos, knocked out one and players even on pve. A great trolling mechanic. Be gentle with flying it when you first get it until you learn how it handles. Inhale then space gives you a nice jump but do not hold W key. It will take you super high... then no air and then a nasty belly flop and you may kill your tame. Just give little direction corrections with the keys and you'd get a feel for it. I love this thing to death. Cameron-Forsaken 915

Knock it out from the head like a doedic his bottom body is armoured

1. You do more torpor damage to it when it's deflated.

2.Best way to tame them is to have a friend on a frost owl freez them in play that dose two things. Keeps them from moving and also auto deflates them. Best way so far I have seen.

Superior augmented kibble to tame these big bags.

When they’re inflated the reduce dmg and with that torpor so when it says you need a certain amount of tranqs you actually need a lot more. Also just put some gates over it and it’s easy to tame

Use a Kaprosuchus to hold the Sumo wrestlers down, and punch it in the face till it goes to sleep.

Freeze with a snow owl to stop it floating away

Note that it will take two to three times the recommended amount of tranqs for knockout (with crossbow at least, i assume the others as well)

When trying to tame a Gasbags the easiest way is with a snow owl and freeze it and get ur friend to knock it out

They take less damage and torpor when inflated up so people know

When knocking it u need an owl to put them in the trap n just keep freezing it when it tries to inflate so then u can knock it easier bc I tried knocking a lvl 30 n it took like 60 tranqs when it said 7

I use an argy or owl to peck and lure the gasbags into a trap, since they seem to run away from humans who punch it.

If you are alone it comes after you but if you have friends it runs away so try to solo tame it

You do more damage (and torpor) when it’s deflated. Try and force it to blow you back so you can get the more damage

You can not bola it it doesn’t work

You could tame it with Barry kibble but it only increases by 1.5% on default official rates.
