I don't know why it's not shown but these things LOVE honey for taming food!!! Hope this helps someone 👍🏻
Oh my gosh this is a knock out tame?!??! That’s unheard of nowadays in ark!!!
Surprisingly a basic knockout tame
Knockout tame takes superior kibble. 3% for kibble, and 1.5% for mutton on 1x
Desmo with good longneck is all you need really be prepared with either kibble or a lot of mutton they’re hunger drains quick and they also as babies eat raw meat so when breeding be sure to feed them raw
They’re slow on land. You can basically walk/run backwards and hit them with tranq arrows.
Their omnivores, meaning they eat both meat and veggies/berries. Meat is still preferred more. Their basic knockout tames, aim for the belly or head, as hitting their shell does less torpor. Thats right, a basic knockout.
Anyways, good luck on finding a high level and happy taming!
It's a knock out tame!! I repeat a knock out tame!! We trapped it, knocked it out and kibbled it!
Just a normal ko tame for once, I THINK
These big guys agro onto you and attack. Be careful
Just a normal KO tame. But shoot them in the head. The shell takes less damage.
Easy knock out tame. Fly above it with a tek suit to knock it out. Use purple or higher kibble but algae works the same. Has reduction to black pearls and can farm them.
They seem peaceful but they are aggressive. Just like Deinotherium
1. Knock it out with any tranq weapon of your choice
2. Add superior kibble or a higher grade one (if no kibble is available for you, you can feed it less effective food like berries -> crops -> or archelon algae(algae is best of these 3 other options))
3. Enjoy your new tame without a saddle or you can craft a normal saddle to ride it with bonus armor or a platform saddle where you can build stuff on it.
4. On PC: press C to open/close shell. Closed shell while riding it gives you unlimited oxygen.
LMB: for normal bite attack / RMB for tail whip. You can only attack when shell is closed. Press X to walk on the sea floor. (Careful I heard somewhere that it can get fall damage in walking mode in the water while walking there and falling down an abyss)
5. It can farm black pearls with a good amount of weight reduction on these.
Overall the new best gatherer for blackpearls due to its high weight stat and weight reduction on blackpearls!
!!! It cannot harvest Silica Pearls as far as I know !!!
