Tips & Strategies
Knocking out a high level lymantria within a single bola is impossible with a primitive crossbow. Instead, quickslot two pillars, two thatch ceilings, and five thatch walls. Bola the moth over flat land, then drop a pillar on one side. Ceilings next over it, then the other pillar on the other side. Hang walls from the ceilings. When it comes out of the bola, it's trapped. Tranq slowly so it won't die, and leave the trap up as a tame blind during taming. If you fail to trap it just try again; it won't flee far after a bola attack if you did no other attacks.
More Lymantria Taming & KO Tips
For an easy tame, wait for the Lymantria to land and then place a tent directly where he/she is at. Its stuck until the tents durability dies out, this gives you enough to build a little house around it for a safe, easy tame.
Use this to get Rock Drake/Wyvern/Deinonychus eggs
And when they aggro, fart on those demons 😂
An easy was to tame a Lymantria us to use a bola on it then shot it in the face with tranq arrows or darts.
Bola and tranq. Do not rapid fire, wait a few seconds before next shot or it will die.

Wait until night. Then build a light source it'll be unusually attracted to it.
Using tent as trap to tame don't work anymore.
1. Get tranq arrows
2. Get a bow or crossbow
3. Get a bola
4. Throw the bola at the Lymantria and start shooting it with tranq arrows
5. Make sure not to kill the Lymantria in the process
Happy Taming!
The Lymantria is like the Pteranodon on The Island, but it takes way more torpor then the Pteranodon. So easy taming is bola them (or wait until its landing) and place a tent on it ( DONT place the door of the tent in line to the head of the moth! It can really easy escape then. I hope I helped some of u Guys. Sry for my bad English btw.
If you cannot make a tent you can bola it, then place a wooden pillar basically in the middle of it. Then you put a thatch roof on the pillar and surround it by thatch door frames. It will be trapped and you can shoot it without it getting away.
I tamed the lymantria in early game valguero and it was actually quite easy. All you need to do is use a bola (I used a normal one) and then keep attacking it with a club and it should get knocked out in couple of hits. However, if your trying to tame a higher level one, bring multiple bolas. The saddle is quite cheap so it can be utilised early game.
