Try to get it running towards a wall or mountain for easier knockout
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
Tames very quickly using cactus sap; just make sure you have enough because it doesn't stop eating them, found out after 30-40min of taming on mejo berries. I put cactus sap in just to try and about 30 seconds later my 140 was tamed.
they attack when they are in groups! when alone, it flees.
May be obvious, but boomerang works like a charm to tame.
This thing is the god of scorched earth beginners. Easy to tame, can hold 750 water, decent at combat and great berry collecter.
So, best strat I've found if you're playing solo with ASA Scrorched Earth is to play into being a cowboy of Bob's Tall Tales.
How I've done it, is try to climb onto its tail with a boomerang or whatever your knockout tool is and go right up to the back hump, then just start going to town and hoping you don't get knocked off or it runs into a group that might get ticked off from it taking any damage. If you're positioned just right, it can't hurt you and just carry you along for a ride.
These will not run when you attack. He and his bro’s will eat you. A lot.
This tame is a Bad in escaping but for fighting its a good one. You should tame one at lvl 80 lvl it up on health. A lvl 55 would do it too. If you need one for just gathering berries you can use a low Level one like 22 lvl and lvl it up on weight so you dont need to drop all the time.
Attacks:
Lmb:normal attack good for side and Front Attacks
Rmb: high jump attack good for Killing Vultures,Argies,and insectes
It carrys water btw 750 each time you would drink 100 means you good for 7 drinks before reacharging
This abbility is good for travelling tribes or if you have a base without any water source.
TAIMING
The taiming is the easiest Part cause you just need a bomerang and try to get it in a corner where it cant escape.
Now feed him berries and ask a nice tribe for berries.
PS: Starve it,it would be an insta tame

If playing on ASA (Ark survival ascended) USE CACTUS SAP!! Put the sap in the morellatop's inventory and it should eat about non-stop! I normally would use berries until I tried cactus sap. It is it's favorite food except kibble. Tames Immediately!
Ignore the feeding tips and just feed a k.od morellotops cactus sap they instantly eat it even when not hungry and they tame in a matter of minutes
