Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a lymantria? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a lymantria.
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
Name it Baby Mothra
Easiest way is placing a tend on the Lymantria Shenyang it lands. Then you can shoot no.
These are super easy tames. Just bola them and then knock them out. My friend used 2 tranq darts and it was unconscious. Berries work but mejo berries are better. Pack some narcotics as well
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.
I used a bola and shot it in the face several times. Easy take. Great starter for transportation.
I literally just got my boomerang and threw it at half charge, so not to kill it and tame in the open, took me 12 min (I have adjusted the advanced setting to make things faster)
Place a pillar over the lymantria, build a small shelter around it to keep it safe. Use a bola when it lands, shoot it with tranq arrows with a normal bow. Crossbow has higher chance to kill it. Feed it mejoberries.
Will disappear when frozen with owl then bola’d.
Easy taming method is to use a tent over them while they're on the ground open the door tranq and tame
Use 1 foundation, 4 walls, and a ceiling to trap it. Place foundation in front of it, bola it on foundation and build away
The best way to tame one is to bola it then tranq it in the face but be careful not to kill it and stand away from it cause it will febreeze you (slow you down)
Bola it to immobilize. Then use tranq darts to knock it out, arrows will work but because they are so weak you have a better chance killing it instead of taming
When I first knocked it out I went to feed it Mejoberry Berrys but it wouldn’t eat it so I had to feed it normal Berry’s.
They are found plentifully in the main canyons as well as practically everywhere include the mountains in abundance.
I highly recommend you get kibble for this tame as it is VERY long, remember that they have very little health, they can be knocked out with tranq arrows but not a boomerang.
They are found everywhere pretty much, there attack is to spray this gas out which slows down attackers, if you attempt to tranq it will fly off I suggest a bola. Really good for silk
The torpor drain is slower than its health regeneration.
If you are trying to tame this and it seems too bloody, you can wait for it to regen for a few minutes and continue tranqing after
The lymantria is good for slowing things down!!!!!
The Way I Tamed a moth is 6 bolas and alot of thorny dragon torpor spikes
