ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Tame a solo morellatops first. Use the first one gather 200-300 narco berries, 400-500 mojoberries and 30-50 narc arrows. Extra for missed shots. Then find a group of 2-4 wild morellatops. Place your tamed one on neutral out of Agro range, so it may defend itself against predators but not attack your targets.
Find a rock tall enough to avoid their attacks. Target one morellatops at a time until it drops unconscious. Continue process until all remaining wild ones are unconscious. Split narco and mejoberries evenly among them. While taming, continue gathering berries with your tamed morellatops. Guard your taming targets against predators and continue to load excess berries onto them.
As each morellatops is tamed. Use naming convention to track their potential. We use "[tribename] [tame level after bonuses] [male or female] [name]. Two examples:
[abc] 60M spike
[asd] 25F Barbie
This allows others to easily report any of your strays and their gps location.
More Morellatops Taming & KO Tips
In a group they attack, individual they run. Pick the lone wolf and lead it by facing the way you want it to go and trap it against a wall or rock or a safe place. No missed shots, no wasted resources, and a easy Morrelatops tame.
Donβt get the Morellatops eggs confused, for some reason they are called Camelsaurus eggs. Maybe an old name they didnt fully remove?
They prefer cactus sap over mejos
It gathers a lot more cactus sap from the tiny cactus plants ( the ones you harvest by hand)
If youβre playing scorched earth knock these out with boomerangs then tame with cactus sap, it is effective as veggies and they will eat all of it quickly making easier it than most herbivores to tame.
Crystal wyvern can NOT carry a morellatops on PC let people know so they can see and devs up date their info.
The eggs are called camelsaurus because its the morrellatops name in the cheats.
Warning to early game players, these things are a hell to tame, especially if you're not good at chasing like me. If they're alone they flee and if they're together they attack, and God help you if you anger them in group because they deal alot of damage and are ridiculously fast, and that speed also helps them be a hell to knock out even if you do manage to get their torpor up enough, you HAVE to use a mount to chase them or just try to run them into a wall. I'm writing this because i lost my raptor to these so maybe I'm just blinded by rage idk lol
they CANNOT be carried by crystal wyverns
On console these things are a nightmare to chase down, so I good trap is some wood billboards, much like you would use for a maewing
