Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a maewing? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a maewing.
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
- tribe of the mejoberries
Doddex needs to add what the baby's like to eat in breeding
If you want it early game I suggest crossbow and chase down with a pteranadon
Let’s admit it the fact this can be tamed with basic kibble is ridiculous for the utility these things have
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.
They can be bred right now, both will lay eggs. It is too hot at 76F. Don't know if this is intended or not since they're genderless.
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)
Isolate the one you wanna tame, set up a large bear trap, use a rare flower to lure into the trap, tranq it( wont take much ), put food( it's an omnivore ), and FLY AWAYYYYY with your maewing.
After this, he will love you so much that he will never give you up or let you down.
Imma out.
You can use a harpoon launcher with a net to trap the maewing and tranq it, also it eats meat or berries and you can find them in redwood forest in fjordur as thats where i got mine.
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.
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.
On lost island, they can be found on the top right part of the map
If playing on local/dedicated server, you can just shoot them with a tranq arrow and wait for them to fly out of render distance. They will immediately stop running and you can just run up to them and shoot ‘em again. Repeat this process for an easy tame! I know ark is shutting down official servers soon so this tip should become very relevant.
When trapping one DO NOT use your tame to help block them, i was one shot away from getting two max levels and they both just disappeared
Net gun it then knock it out with whatever tranqulising item you have
Net guns are a lifesaver. You need a harpoon gun which is quite expensive for early game and some polymer for net projectiles but they allow you to get so many tames like a griffin, argy, or maewing. Maewings have low torpor so you can use a crossbow or equus (very good). On fjdour they are around top right corner or in asgard(these spots are highly recommended) lost island around east of map, genesis 2 IDK.
Fastest traveller, it glides and can carry baby dinos, Hugh damage belly slam attack.
Would recommend taking them in Asgard, spent 2 hours trying to tame one of the 4 I could find in red woods, literally counted over 12 in the first 5 minutes in Asgard.
Wasn’t finding hardly any on fjordur. Then checked the snow region in redwood region by green Ob and found tons. 2 of which were 180s. Check there
If you want to tame one in Fjordur, I recommend using a desmodus since they allow rider weaponry, so when the maewing tries to escape you can fly after them.
Use harpoon gun and net launcher to tame
