Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a lymantria? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a lymantria.
Just a hint. I'm playing extinction, I placed a tent over one, bopped it out with my club, then tamed it.
Bola & shocking tranqs. Easy tame.
Could not get the tent trick to work.
Up stamina before all else. These guys use so much stamina
A lymantria can fit through a single ceiling tile space but an argentavis can't. Build a trap with one ceiling missing in the corner. Use a lymantria to aggro an argentavis, fly into the trap and out the hole, leaving the argentavis in the trap. Easy argentavis tame.
after a while 10-30 seconds it stops fleeing and lands, take that for advantage
To tame these I suggest that you use a Bola and traq darts
Best place to tame them is the Dragon cave at Floating Islands on Crystal Isles. Just tamed 3 150s stuck in the nooks and crannys. Bring bolas to ensure the snare. Will always break out of the first bola regardless of what tranqs you use (best results come from darts as they're more delicate than arrows) so be prepared to either shoot it again if it gets stuck or bola it if it starts to flee!
I placed a tent on top and I started with 40 something arrows and I tamed it and ended up with 7 arrows left so make sure you have a good amount of arrows to knock them out
The way I knocked my first one (don't tame when the raptor rockdracke guys are close) is with a bola and a club they eat berry but they cannot collect, There only Attack is a spore type attack, they slow down who, or whatever is in its radius...
No fancy structure needed, just many bolas. Bola, shoot 3 times, bola again, hit 3 more times... if you lag, refresh bola after only 2 hits.
I tamed level 90 it.This was very sad that he was killed by the giant
spider.I tamed a level 90 again I named him.Butter.this time he was
not killed.
Do not use bow on a low level I killed one by doing that :(
To tame the Moth, just craft a Tent. Just Bola the Moth then place a tent over it. After that you just knock it out and feed preferred food.
Two person tame. One to bola as needed. The other to place a pillar, roof sections, and doorways to trap moth. Not necessary to use Tek - thatch will do. Put spike walls around but leave enough room for a raptor to kill you and the moth.
If you roar these guys with shadow mane they are speed
Breed in high moth stats mine:
2180 Health
390 stam
Before leveling up.
Get saddle bp with 90-100 armor minimum.
Great for taking a wyvern beating while kiting to a trap.
Usually 5500k health once lvl up
One word, bola.
That's all you really need. It's best if you wait for it to land.
A 150 can take multiple tranq arrows from a master craft cross bow last time I tried to get a high level I bola it so there I am with my master craft cross bow shooting it well it eventual got free so I go back for round two I do the same thing and the same thing happened it got free and flew away
I would highly recommend building some sort of trap when taming a high level. Otherwise, without a good tier weapon, even a bola won't prevent a high level from breaking free and flying off before you knocked it out! ~L
