They can’t get you on a stego so if you have a stego you are safe from these kidnappers.
Best ways to tame a low one too high one
Step1:find a low level one
Step2:shoot it(bow tranq arrows or cross bow)or punch it
Step3:feed it at least kibble or raw prime meat to tame faster(No narcotics needed)
Step4:Once tamed craft it a saddle unlocks at lvl 44 or 43 and you can use it too tame a high lvl one
Use a bola after being grabbed to get free... That is, if your alive long enough after it grabs you to throw it.
First, wait for it to carry you in its mouth then, start beating it with a club or shoot it with tranq arrows, make sure to give it some bio toxin or narco berrys
Can use grapple hook to get out of its mouth.
I ended up taming a level 100 Kapro on Crystal Isles. I was scouting with my level 230 (approximate) pteranodon — oddly enough, I found a lone one just off of the shore in the shoals biome (this area was a bit close to a swamp, so). They are very scary in the water, as they will leap right out of it in an attempt to attack you and your tame granted that you are close enough to the ocean’s surface. I led one onto the beach and was lucky enough to find a tall enough rock to land upon so that the aggravated creature couldn’t reach me. It took several tranq arrows to knock it out using a crossbow. After assuring that the area around me was clear and there weren’t any more threats, I had easily tamed it with a stack of raw meat and carefully led it back to my base. It was easier than I had expected to tame one, even as it was a high level. The advice I would give other players is that if you are going to lead one to a tall rock so you can tranquilize one without getting attacked, I’d still be careful to make the best judgement call with the rock and be 100% positive that it has no parts of it that the creature can pounce onto and find its way to you. By the way, I’m pretty new to Ark still, so my strategy may not be that professional — but I hope it helps other new players!
Never bola this thing... I lost Blue (my frog). I miss you pal😭😭😭😭
If you are a mobile player, although it might still be good on other devices, start breeding them! On mobile in my experience even a level 20 can do the same damage as a theri! It’s much easier to hatch them then tame them, especially with imprinting. They also have epic colour regions, and I got a cyan colour on its top half while I was playing on a server, this guy gave me a gc for it. (Golden collar) they are much better then raptors, although they are easier to tame in my opinion. If you play pvp, get a pack of 5+ and you could kill a Rex.
THEY CAN GET YOU OFF YOUR MOUNT SO RUNNNNN
If you fight with it it will jump on you if you tame it it will sleep on you
Second best for swimming! (A close call with cast) They can swim underwater pretty smoothly, and can swim on the water to let you get some air. Or, take a diplocaulus and breathe as you need! (You’ll see what I’m talking about) To see the best swimmer, see the Casteroids. For third best, see Kaprosuchus. Warning! This creature cannot hold passengers.
Everything you need to know about Kaprosuchus
They can dismount you of certain tames
They are very underrated (don’t tame one that is lower than lvl 50)
They are on every map except for Aberration
They can regain stamina in the water
They don’t have an oxygen stat
They aren’t very fast sprinting but their leap ability makes them super fast
Swamps are crazy places to go, gotta be crazy to go there, but I did, wanted to find a Kappa to replace the one that got eating by a Thermo. Second time looking for one and finding only Sarcos so I decide to finally tame one, get one down and tame underway and a Baryonyx shows up, had only just been researching it the nigbt before as my next tame so tackle him get it down and tame underway, then a Kappa bowls me over, struggling now but finally get him down and tame. Walked out of the swamp with the three, that was enough for the morning.
How to tame
1.pee your pants
2.grab with an argentavis .putt in taming pen
4.tranq out. Notice:they will and can jump over the taming pen walls
