Sheila is alive and happy on my PVE server. She guards my greenhouse.
Totally thought this was another player first time I encountered it in single player.
Tamed 2 ( lvl 125 and lvl 90 ) did some upgrading mostly to health and melee. Turned my back to cook some meat. Hear scary music, see lvl 130 Rex's corps just flying over my head.
I coloured mine green, named it shreak thèn dropped him in the swamp
Hope you get shiela back
From experience, fly with argie and drop them in a box and then take them. Passive tame btw. Mine kept getting attacked by terror birds and the tame bar would reset.
⤴️ so others morons like me will know.
Nice to know people are praying for my shiela thank you!
This creature only spawns in the redwood forest, So I recommend using an argentavis to bring him into a taming pin, or he will most likely die by terror birds. If you wear a full ghillie suit then he will not agro on you. If you don't have a ghillie suit, Then sneak up behind it's back, don't get too close, don't let it see you, and then feed it berries. If this helped then please like this. 👍🏼
Use gillie armor!
I had just knocked out an argie and was preparing to tame it. Then I realized I had barely any prime meat. So me and my pteranodon went out and absolutely murked every paracer and diplo around the red peaks. Then when I was going back I was flying low and didn’t see the small brown patch under me… Then a purlovia jumps out and attacks me, breaking my chitin armor and lowering my pteranodon to half hp, when I got unstunned I got on my pteranodon as fast as I could.
I knew I couldn’t make it out with the pteranodon in time so I prepared for the worst. Then my hero, A level 30 bigfoot storms out from behind a tree and beats the living crap out of that purlovia, killing it. Needless to say I thank bigfoot for taking time out of his day to beat up a bully.
No gille armor all you need to do is crouch behind it and shove berries up its butt...I'm not kidding
I was being attacked by a dire bear (I didn't have good weapons) and this dude came over and murdered the dire bear
Just stay behind it crouching and shove berries up it’s ass
Easy to tame, just sneak and bring one soothing balm and berries but i prefer mejoberries. If your looking for one of these go to the redwood forests and you might find one just search for it, but becareful the terror birds might attack you or purlovias the sneaky rat.
To the people saying that these things should be able to wield swords:
Imagine being on a pvp server, and then someone with a fully imprinted and mutated big monke with 1.5K% melee shows up and pulls out an ascendent sword that does 400 base damage...
Sounds pretty balanced and fun
Situation described above will result in 6000 damage per hit btw, aka enough to kill tamed giga (without saddle) in 3 hits
