Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a maewing? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a maewing.
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
Maewings spawn in groups of three in Asgard on Fjordur.
They can be trapped while not aggroed by placing a wooden billboard over their neck, and behind them (sometimes an extra over their midsection bc they will try to jump and glide away).
Knock out tame.
Eats berries or meat to tame
You got a solid 7 seconds before they enter the stratosphere so shoot fast
If you DON'T HAVE THE NET ENGRAME, Use 3 wooden billboards, 2 pillars, 1 roof. They don't attack back. Place billboards arround the creature then place pillars + roof to prevent it from flying again. Will take less than 10 darts
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.
I think they might be omnivores.
So I found out that these guys can’t get knocked out by headshots. It’s as if they weren’t hit in the first place. Lost a 145 Mae cause of it not taking torpor from headshots. Just wanna make it known
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! :)
They are also found on fiorjer
Eat a rare flower and lead it to a trap. Easy tame, mutton is everywhere
If you want it early game I suggest crossbow and chase down with a pteranadon
There is a flat place with lakes where they spawn. You world need a harpoon launcher, crossbow and 15 tranqs (for 150 level) to knock it out. Maewing is a omnivore creature, but the Best option will be raw mutton. His food drain is quickly in the wild. This spawn is very dangerous because of Sarcos, Raptors and Gigas.
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
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.
+++ so ppl can see this
-AK
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.
