You have to place 3 billboards around the maewing once they stop moving. and tranq them with a bow. It might take 1-10 shots depending on what bow you have. And once you have it knocked out you have to feed it berries or basic kibble. They spawn near water or in the plains and you have to craft the sattle in a smithy

Actually pretty good at gathering berries/mushrooms.

The Dino model is too high up naturally to manage this.

Go into third person, look down -camera above you and the Maewing you’re riding-

Then turn the maewing’s head to the left or the right, then use the right trigger.

If the ‘spittle’ that appears during the attack animation is over the plant or shroom you’re trying to harvest. Your Maewing’s model and attack should hit the resource and allow you to collect it.

Maybe not the most important tip. But yeah, Maewings aren’t bad gatherers if you’re struggling for anything else. Just awkward to use.

There is actually a really good trap to get these guys- you need 1 rare flower, 1 stone foundation, 2 stone walls, 3 stone double door frames, and 2 stone stairs. First, you place the foundation. Next, you place one double doorframe on one side. On the opposite side, you place 2 of the door frames, on top of eachother. You place the walls on the sides that don't have anything on them, add stairs to the lower double doorframe part leading into the trap, make sure the maewing is away from other creatures, eat the flower, run through the trap, staring at the stairs, walk out of the other side, and the maewing is trapped! (This is explained better on YouTube videos)

Equip a saddle, Put food in their inventory and put a baby in their basket. Turn on nursing and you're good to go for hours, no more dropping food in the baby inventory. Shield your eyes from what's about to happen next.

Also whoever said they can't eat after baby status is wrong, I have juveniles eating from my Mae as I'm typing this
