Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a gasbags? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gasbags.
Regular gate trap doesn’t work because gasbags after aggroed follows you only after first 1 - 2 shots and it’s pumped with gas all the time when doing so, so it can’t fit into the trap. For taming it I recommend classic hit & follow method.
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
Great taming option is a snow owl with a ton of Stam, then place some dino gates or pillar and ceilings to trap it, won't be able to jump away
From my experience u cannot trap these no more when I was trying to tame mine it didnt go in the trap it just turned around when. It was near the dino gates and walked away.
Shoot them in the under belly does more topor
if barely and other primative+ foods are on here does that mean you can do the dungeon creature taming strat? aka get dungeon exclusive creature in mobile such as daedons or jerboas implant for example then respawn them
I think if you hit it on its belly or the blue part, it is like a headshot
Im pretty sure you can grapple to one of these and tranq them, the same way you can with a quetzal.
THIS IS NOT IN mobile
Up if you want to add in mobile
You can not bola it it doesn’t work
If you are alone it comes after you but if you have friends it runs away so try to solo tame it
If taming with a friend, gasbags can be held by a ridden wyvern while one of you tranq.
Just trap them with behemoths and use snow owl to deflate, shoot a tranq, mount the snow owl again and repeat until tamed.
P.d.: And the end, he will start trying to get away and then u can shoot him like 3 times before he inflates again
I recommend using a Managarmr because of how fast it is, so when the gasbags jumps you scan easily and quickly follow it to where it lands. This worked wonders for my but I was in a very hot part of the wasteland and forgot my ghillie suit so I died and lost my Rex :(
I found my gasbag at a little secluded pond and I shot mine with one tranq arrow in a crossbow
To knock out these fart pods simply use a long neck rifle with tranq darts to knock them out, and feed them. If you’re taking them on extinction be weary of corrupted dinos, if you are playing on genesis 2 just watch out for carnivores.
You can trap them in Dino gate ways by shooting them once and getting them aggroed onto you. If you shoot them twice they will get scared and fly away.
A trap is the only way to ko these guys. Of which is a standard gate trap but you have to deflate them before you trap them
Somehow shots with tranq darts doesnt do as much dmg as it should, so either take some net projectiles with you, prepare for a pursuit or bring a snow owl for deflating this boi!
Torpor is going down very slow
i put superior kibble in and his taming isn’t going up?
