Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a maewing? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a maewing.
The only thing you really need is a bow and at least 20 tranq arrows, the creature got low torpid so it will be knocked out quick, and even after it glides away you can quickly catch up to it.
I used a net gun for my first one got it yesterday it was lv 48 got to lvl 84 around that and it was a two shot with a crossbow
Holy hell these guys are fast! I'm the kind of guy who hates building traps, and for these guys I would say if you're crazy like me then you don't need one. How I tamed my first one on lost island, is I used an equus and a crossbow with tranqs. It was very low level, and only took two shots and a kick, but they run away so quickly. Once you have one though, taming others becomes easier. But don't do what I did, just use a billboard trap.
On the Fjordur map in the pond 25:85, for some reason they spawn but glitch and get stuck underwater. They are super easy to tame underwater with just a crossbow since they can't fly and escape.
If u got nothin but a sign and clubs tranq arrows etc I recommend to wait for it to poop it takes a bit longer then waiting for the perfect moment for it to stay still then trap it
Just get 1 or 2 big bear traps place them next to each other then put giant bee honey in the trap the maewing should come and eat the honey and get trapped then nock out I literally tamed one when I was at level 30 first thing I tamed.
I knocked this thing out without a net only a my equus took 4 buck kicks
On fjordur for a perfect tame use raw mutton and a sanguine elixir and best place to find them îs neer the boss summon on asgard
You can tranq them right after netting them if traps are not working out.
If you dont like traps or using nets you must find the beat bow there is and use toxicant arrows because after the first few shots you will never see it again. They also can get knocked midair. Beside a giga. Beside an alpha rex. Surrounded by other things that want rko you and eat your face off.
How to make a easy trap
Place billboard around the maewing like you would a procoptadon to trap it. Warning these things move around a lot when they are trapped so you have to place the billboards fast. Then make 2 or 3 pillars and place them right beside the trap and stack the pillars on top of each other. Then get 1 or 2 ceilings and place 1 on the pillar and the other should snap to the pillar and be over top of the maewing trapped in the billboards. The ceilings prevent the maewing from jumping up and flying away once you hit it. These structures can be whatever material you want because the maewing won’t break them. You can club the maewing out. Ps I do this on official so I know this works.
Punch punch and fly around with babies 😀
Step one: Net projectile
Step two: tranq darts to face
Step three: kill ovis for mutton
(they are lots around the area on lost island)
Step four: feed and tame.
Step five : you have a meeting cryo pod and bring it back to you base. 😊 I hope this is helpful
These things are also breed able and give random eggs even at low levels.
They are pretty easy to tame all you need is a good level horse and kick it in the face untill it decides that it loves you
Takes just over 4 and a half hours to reach juvi.
Oh it prefers mutton over berries apparently. Sorry for the mistake
-person who made the tip about 2 ways to tame a maewing
For low levels about 10 and under shoot 1 time in the head with a crossbow than see waer itgos and in like 6 seconds it be trank or use a harpoon gun with nets and it's a omnivore so it eats meat and berries so feed it meat or crops
Get your friend and a pteranodon use a crossbow or gun
If you want to get a maewing you should get a net gun but most starters don’t have net guns so I recommend that you catch a low level one that takes one or two crossbow and try with it to catch a high level because even high levels just take 5 to 8 crossbow,
If you don’t know what food to feed it because you don’t have a lot of stuff to get prime meat don’t worry because at lost island where the maewing spawn you can find tons of ovis that gives mutton and it is one of the best foods you can feed it.
