That one tip where they say you donβt need insert eggs is not true! The eggs must be fertilized
Iβve learned that you DONT even need a fertilized egg. Just make sure the parent isnβt getting attacked by any Dinoβs. All you need is full Ghillie suit, sneak up to the nest but make sure the parent donβt see you sit in the nest, and then you can start imprinting on the baby. Up for those who canβt make a lot of eggs like me!
If the baby refuses to do the taming minigame with you, try breaking some of the rocks/trees around the nest. I think whatever wildcard did to prevent trapping the parent extended to ANYTHING that could potentially stop the parent from reaching the nest. I tried multiple times to tame a baby and got no response, but as soon as I cleared the area for the parent, the taming game worked first try.
On this last x2 on official abberation i used 5 rockdrake eggs on a 120 got roughly 20% each egg the mom ate. Once the mom starts eating the egg jump in with you ghillie suit on, i tried without ghillie and maybe just me but i got noticed
Fun fact! Unlike other babies, if you eliminate the parent, you still can't claim the baby. Learned the hard way π
Step one. Sneak into nest
Step two. Imprint on babys.
Step three. Run for your life with baby.
Step 1, bring an egg or two just in case ( i brought rex eggs)
Step 2, find a nest with parent and baby.
Step3, place the egg with some distance from the nest, and wait for the parent to see the egg and start to pick it.
Step 4, make ur way to the nest and hide in it(there is an interaction button that says hide in nest.
Step 5, wait for the baby to start the minigame for taming the baby.
Step 6, the parent should come back to the nest shortly after starting the minigame, dont freak out, it wont attack you while you do the minigames with the baby, it will protect you and the baby from any intruder, ur tribemate can even stand there with u beside the nest, but any sudden movement from your mate will alert the parent and attack, during a conflict where the parent runs away too far will make the baby pause the minigame, therefor u should put up another egg close to the nest to make the parent return, then the minigame with the baby will resume.
Step 6, once the minigame is 100% u got urself a Gigantoraptor :) and no u cant tame the parent (i play official pve)
A must have for aberration
Has the terror bird ability to jump gaps
As of summer 2024, traps still work. However, from my testing, it seems you need to let the parent out and let it walk to its nest after every 3 or so interactions with the baby, and then retrap it.
Okay. Find a nest. Usually around rivers and grass/jungle areas.
The baby will always be around the nest. If it's not, there's a number of bugs that can be the cause.
For this to work; The baby and the nest and the mom all have to be together in the same close vicinity.
Okay, the correct way to distract the mother is to throw out a fertilized egg close by.
Aggro will get you a few times but keep trying till you get it right.
Once you see the animation of her eating the fertilized egg, go to the nest. Hide in it.
The baby will now come to you after a few moments if not bugged and will literally get into a stance in front of you.
It will preform 1 of 3 moves. D pad, Left, Down, Right
All little mimic/dance moves that increase the babys taming with each successful one you do in time, mimicking it.
After mom gets done eating she immediately comes straight back to the nest.
My experience allowed me to just quickly run from her in time while her back was turned in that split second moment from hiding.... but definitely keep a flying creature close by in case of things going south.
The larger the fertilized egg, the longer she takes to eat it. Eggs that worked for me was Rexs, Carchs, Gigas, Brontos, Yutis, All the eggs of those creatures worked for me and it took her at least a good solid +45-60 seconds to eat them each. For max levels.
Good Luck Out There! I Hope This Helps!
This creature is crazy fun!!! Has a flutter ability exactly like the Terror Bird but the gliding is WAY more maneuverable. Jumps like a Reaper almost compared to size. Main attack uses its Beak, and other attack will use both its huge legs to separately stomp. Aloooooot of other crazy good features to this Oviraptorosaur, specifically to do with babies.
Tame it and find out for yourself ππ»ππ»ππ»
