How to tame on fjorder! (Bc that’s the map I’m on♥️)
items needed: Net gun, Net projectile, Kibble/Berries/Meat and a good Dino for protection (Thylacoleo spawn near and by the Maewing spawn area)
1. There located in the redwoods, North East, Top right corner of the map
2. Go to 21.18 83.3 and you should see a lake and then you should see them/one now it gets tricky..
3. If it’s out of the water you are in luck!! If it’s in the water that’s gonna be harder, if it’s in the water shoot it so it comes out but you will have to chase after it because they won’t come and attack you once you find it net-projectile it and knock it out (preferable weapon: Shotgun). If it’s on land just projectile it and knock it out.
4. Feed it the kibble/Berry/Meat(It’s a omnivore) and watch it’s torpor just incase it doesn’t go down that fast but still.
5. Watch out for predators like: Terror bird, Thylacoleo, Direbear, Troodon all of the dangerous stuff.
6. cryopod the Milker and take it back to base, place it down, name it(if you have a name) and yea! You got a maewing :)

How to use(Nursing)
Items needed: Meat(if carnivore or omnivore)Berrys(If herbivore or omnivore) etc(if diff)inside of the maewings inventory. Proceed to put your baby to the maewing, go into the maewings wheel and press nursing mode and milk will uhh.. *silence* squirt out of its.. tittys yea uhm.. Ignore that😃. Your baby’s will have a trough above there head, that means the maewing is nursing them, it will make them go up so you don’t have to do it by putting food in the baby/trough. But you still have to take part and put food in the maewing. Cryopod your baby’s and turn off nursing for the maewing when logging off unless you have a tribe member who will watch over the baby’s a little and get meat etc for the baby’s to put in the maewing.
These guys are easy to tame, you can either build a trap around it so it doesn’t dart away or you can net it with a net gun. I recommend the net gun, that’s what many people use. You don’t need to waste so many darts on the maewing since it gains torpor easily, but also keep an eye on its health just in case. Since these guys don’t have genders, you can breed them and both maewings will give one egg. They also will nurture your baby tames! Great creature to have, since they are incredibly fast and will take care of your baby dinosaurs, as well as carry them with its saddle. Up this if it helped! :)
These guys are found in the redwoods but I've found they're much easier to spot in asgard (North was where I found a bunch) also make sure to net gun them otherwise they're almost impossible to tranq because they glide when shot
Really easy tames, have great weight, and are incredibly fast. To tame a low lvl simply shoot it with your x-bow and tranq arrows. For high lvl i reccomend a trap, but you can just tranq it, hunt it down, and tranq it again, otherwise if you have a high quality x-bow or longneck you can use that. Once KO'd feed pretty much any kind of food, mutton works best but you can use normal meat or mejo berries. Hope you find this useful.
First off you can use a net to trap it.
If u don’t have a net you can shoot fast, you have 6-7 seconds before it ascends to heaven
It prefers meat more than berries but if you don’t have any meat then mejoberies are the next best thing
Once tamed these “milky mamas” -the wise words of syntac, can hold and feed babie Dino’s, mammals, and reptiles. (I recommend having a dimetrodon next to the Maewing to act as a incubater while egg hatches
Hope this helps

Eat a rare flower and lead it to a trap. Easy tame, mutton is everywhere
They cannot drown so if you k/o in water, don't panic. Advice- use a bird with decent hp in Lost Island as there are many sarcos & raptors around. Best found scattered in 50x60, 60x70 square on map.

Even though the Maewing is an omnivore (eats meat or berries), you MUST have the right food type for babies while the Maewing is nursing babies.
For example, if you have the Maewing loaded down with berries, but it's nursing Rexes...the Rexes will starve without meat in the Maewing's inventory 😒
The best way to tame dis big boy/girl Is to trap it then use electrical Rod it's not to hard to get but very effective
On Fjordur, maewings will spawn much more in the colder, northern area of the redwoods.
Doddex needs to add what the baby's like to eat in breeding
Literally the best exploration mount in the game.
EXTREMELY easy to tame as they have very low torpor, do not aggro and eat meat. (Mutton only next to kibble)
Can easily be tamed with the use of a simple trap and/or rare flower if you haven’t unlocked net gun yet (since they do zoom away the moment they take even the slightest damage) or if you’re like me, just chase it run their a$$ down with tranqs caveman style.
They consume very low stamina as they glide through the air, you can pretty much go from one corner of the map to another if you yeet yourself off of a high cliff and barely even use 50% of their stamina.
They can also jump very high if you hold down the jump button for a second or two which enables to glide even when it seems physically impossible.
Overall great starter/mid game tame and dare I say, even a end game tame.
Also, it’s super easy to get wyvern eggs with a maewing, it’s almost a joke as the maewing also swims very fast and doesn’t have an oxygen meter so you can pretty much dive bomb wyvern eggs (I can usually grab 2-3 eggs before things get too dangerous) and immediately glide away safely or directly into water and come out whenever my oxygen is low. (Wyverns don’t follow you into water and easily get distracted by literally any herbivore in their path)
It's omnivore. We've been taming them with mutton all day. So both seem to work. And if you put both in inventory it'll eat meat first.
Let’s admit it the fact this can be tamed with basic kibble is ridiculous for the utility these things have
According to the patch notes these things are big!
