Tips & Strategies
If you have your base raided by these almost daily, I have some tips for you
1. Don’t build on the beach, people jump servers and will find you with ease. Try building it somewhere in a forest, or somewhere where finding a base is extremely uncommon. One of the best ways to get raided less is to never build in the outskirts of the map
2. Try a different map, the island is a huge target for server jumpers and will cause you to get raided very often
3. Make a base out of the strongest material possible, wood will almost never work, stone can protect you for a little big, and metal is way safer. Even a metal 1x1 with a smithy in it can sometimes help you save your items after a raid
4. Try to protect your base using turrets (plant species x or y isn’t recommended but can be used if desperate.) Otherwise try to get stronger Dino’s to kill off any raiders
5. Keep a small base hidden somewhere so you can get back on track quickly when raided.
6. Try to get an alpha tribe to help you get off to a good start
I really hope these tips can help you to get good in a server. Always try a new server or base location if you are always getting raided when you are in the same spot.
WAY TO OP ON PVP JUST FREEZES U AND U CANT DO NAYTHING ABOUT IT!!! DONT ENGAGE IN COMBAT WILL MURDER U UNLESS U HAVE A GOOD MOUNT
Very easy to tame, once you knock it out (I.e, flak and shooting it with tranqs, freezing with snow owl when it gets low) you can immediately Feed, as their food drains as they fight you.
These Creatures can only jump 3 times and a dash (Left Click, R2 or Right Trigger in mid-air) will not count as one. Thei ability to glide in mid-air while freezing their target proves useful to tribes. Like most mammals they have a gestation period which means you dont have to perfect a temperature to breed them. Level pure stam and Health. (The closer you are to the target while freezing it the more damage)
The only land dino in game that when wild or unridden spends more time in the air in combat than on land.
So yeah, look up, if you can’t see one flipping the hell out it’s probably stuck in the air somewhere.
You see one player on it it's to late
For pve players, yes the nerf changed them completely however they are still very good in my opinion. A leveled up imprinted from 150 wild parents is way faster than wyverns. And if you are playing slightly boosted servers and you’re lucky enough to get your hands a 755 longneck with shocking darts, it only takes a few shots and I didn’t have to trap him at all
Honestly just use a harpoon gun and trap it using behemoth gates and then enslave it :)
Gets stuck on Rock Drakes if they dive into one.
Kinda upsetting that they’re not on fjordur…
I was peacefully Living in my starter base on the island. It was in jungle. I went to beach to tame a ptera and saw a player raiding bobs bases with his mana. I was so scared but I thought he didnt see me. Well later I was killing dinos for Meat and saa his shadowmane Come out on nowhere and he was flying with his mana over me. You know how it ended.
Leaving the mana in your trap and alerting it bounce around trying to escape makes it drain it’s own stamina. Leave it in there for about 2 minutes and it’ll run out of stam, starve itself, and then when u knock it out it’ll be an insta tame
The Managarmr don’t Really run away from you it will come back even with high Torpor.
They have no swimming attack so find a mount like a dire wolf lure one to the water and pelt him with trance, bring a magnifying glass to check torpor but it should run right out of the water when it’s good to go and when running from torpor it shouldn’t jump either, I tamed a 150 this way and it spared me the hassle of making a trap
All other comments now obsolete. Net projectile, tranq. Easy tame now.
