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
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.
Use gillie armor!
No gille armor all you need to do is crouch behind it and shove berries up its butt...I'm not kidding
They don't have this listed on here I don't know why, but they collect 2 x more of plant x seeds than than any anamal I have found.
Just stay behind it crouching and shove berries up it’s ass
Don’t put walls around when taming, put 4 doorframes beforehand, pick up with argentavis and then you can get close enough to tame easily, while it can’t get out. It does not fit through the doorframe. DO NOT PUT DOORS ON DOORFRAME.
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.
I just wanna say i love these big gorillas
Dating is the best way to tame these. The appropriate dress for the occasion is a full suit of Ghille Armor. Pick your ape date up with a Quetz, drop in a taming pen, and hand-feed Mejo Berries. He/she will love you for it!
Do not knock out. Crouch and feed, continue to do this using mejoberries. Specifically mejoberries and I also got this tip by a dude here. Mine got killed even I didn’t fully tame and fought a alpha
If you want to tame one of these just crouch and shove them berries in its a$s. Yes that's all you need to do. Thats my first post so may i please get some ups ?
To the guy that said they wished this thing was an animal that two people can ride on I agree you should be able to ride on each shoulder. -Dino Whisperer
i can’t find any fir some reason
Do not try to knock out these guys there a passive tame so in other words put berrys in your last slot I your hot bar and keep your distance and leave about 2-3 minutia beer seen each visit to it
Use Mejos (as usual) just crouch and slowly walk toward and feed but DO NOT TOUCH and always crouch just be careful
If you go the route of putting it into an enclosed space DO NOT have any other or your tamed Dino’s in there it will randomly crash out and start beating your tamed Dino’s. She currently punching my lvl 150 trike
their range means as long as you crouch to feed them they will never aggro i have try it and itworks no guillie needed
