How to tame a maewing; 2 easy methods
1st method (the one I used):
First of all, the items you'll need are:
-6-8 wooden billboards to prevent the maewing from walking away. (Optional)
-1 large bear trap
-some berries
-bow/crossbow with tranq arrows (unless maewing is high lvl. In that case, use a longneck)
Then, you'll want to find a maewing and prepare to trap it.
The billboards are optional, you can wait for it to walk in a bear trap by itself, but it will be harder. Now, assuming you will use billboards: the AI of a wild maewing is fairly stupid, we can take advantage of this. It has a walking cycle where is walks a little, stops, walks a little, stops, over and over and over. So what you want to do is start placing billboards, beginning with one right in front of its face, right at the end of its walk, but before it stops (because it will walk out if you do it too late or too early). When it is trapped in billboards, DO NOT SHOOT IT! You might want to clear the area of creatures to make sure nothing walks in the bear trap, but you'll want to place your bear trap and wait for the maewing to step in. Then, immediately shoot it like your life depends on it. Well, actually, it'll probably only take a couple shots. Feed it berries and enjoy! If you don't use this method, it will fly away VERY fast! When I first tried to hit it with tranqs arrows, I didn't use a trap. It flew away, and I chased it for 20 minutes. I failed.
The 2nd method for maewing taming:
Items:
-4 foundations of any type
-6 doorframes of any type
-2 ramps of any type
-4 ceilings of any type
-2 walls of any type
-1 rare flower
-berries
-bow/crossbow with tranq arrows (unless maewing is high lvl. In that case, use a longneck)
How to prep:
Build a 2x2 of thatch foundations (or another type), have 3 of the sides be door frames so you can walk out, and the 4th side be walls with ramps. Eat a rare flower and make a maewing chase you, let it follow you into the trap, go out through the doors and place ceilings on top of the trap. Shoot the maewing until it falls unconscious. Feed it berries
I am not 100% sure if this method will work, but I will test it. I haven't personally used it yet
Thanks for reading! I hope this helps
More Maewing Taming & KO Tips
I spent an hour looking for them on ground in the red woods but I didnt realize they mostly spawn in the water so bring your snow owl to find the most and check the lakes.
These guys seem useless at first, but are great tames! They’re found on two maps, in one biome for each map. They’re found on gen 2 and lost island, eden biome on gen 2 and on lost island, the grass platoi areas.
They lay eggs of different qualities, from basic to exceptional! This allows for great and easy taming! They are also the first genderless BUT breed-able creatures, thus being extremely unique! They are mammals, thus they breed with a gestation period after the breeding! They are great tames and can be used for many things! They are the fastest creature you can get on lost island, making it easy to get wyvern eggs if the wyverns are distracted! The taming is pretty simple thankfully! Best way to tame them, is by netting them and then building a trap around them, then nocking them out. They’re saddle is easy to craft and unlocked early, thus this can be a very good early tame! To end this of, I’d like to tell you all that this creature is based of a flying squirrel and a platypus! For now, hope your ride with the colony ship stays steady! And remember! Keep surviving! And for one of these touching on the other genesis creatures, just let me know, by taking this to ten ups!
Thanks for reading, survivors!
It’s a knockout tame and can be fed meat to tame but after tame its a omnivore
Ps I know this info is going to be out in a few days but for now it’s not
Knock out tame.
Eats berries or meat to tame
They are also found on fiorjer
You got a solid 7 seconds before they enter the stratosphere so shoot fast
On fjordur don’t go to the lake in redwoods because there is a chance you will find none or just one. Instead go to the telporters and go to the one that says Asgard, then if you find this little portal that says hati and skoll go around that area and you will find a ton of them.
A 130 level took three tranq darts. It ko'd underwater but does not have oxygen so will survive. Feed mutton for quick tame!
Tamed a 116 and it only took about 5 tranqs
I had forgotten that they spawn in Asgard,this is so people don’t suffer by going into the redwood’s.
