Tips & Strategies
It showed that these live in the biome thats also rock wells insides.
I’ve tried everything to get one of these! Hours! Finally mastered it! Ok u find them at around 50, 29 on Gen 2. I go above the cave on the flat metal area.
1) kill all wild Dino’s in area (besides the noglins)
2) make sure u have a ton (I have like 20 tames) tamed from wild (not bred) Turtles & Diplos. (Either or both) All with great saddles for protection. All levels into health!
3) No trap, just got them out with a Dino leash set on medium. Noglins don’t like being trapped!
4) whistle them passive
5) find a noglin, if he’s far, u can net him & carry with a PT or other flyer & drop him in ur tame pile
6) if he runs instead of agro…then shoot him with a tranq dart with a basic level long neck to reset his taming.
7) if he starts to tame then u notice that he stops & starts losing effectiveness, then tranq him to restart! Don’t attempt to keep trying to get it back up, it won’t! As soon as u see it start to drop, RE TRANQ! And start over!
I think I have an idea for this. When it controls you it would turn into a third person view, similar to when a raptor pounces on you. Then I think you will go around either attacking wild dinos or attacking your tames. I think that if you get attacked by a wild Dino it does damage to both you and the noglin. If your tames attack you it will leave you unharmed while the noglin dies. To tame it I think it’s either a tranq tame where you tranq your tames then it will fall of your tame for you to feed or it will be similar to the troodon by letting it control your tames and drains it until your tame dies then you get it. As a tame, it might let you take control of a wild Dino which will be its main food source, before it takes out the wild Dino the controlled Dino its on will be like a temporary tame. If you decide to tranq the wild Dino it’s on the noglin may suffer aswell and will either die or get knocked depending on the tame method. This is only my opinion so this won’t be 100% true.
Diplos give 100% tame on high lvl noglins, and won't cause damage. Just put all points into health, took me 6 for a 300 lvl. Just don't use elixir seems to reduce tame to 50% effectiveness.
Best way to tame.
Tame 6 145+ brontos, level them in hp
Pick nog up with and drop in large behemoth encased area
5 people fly above drop 1 bronto at a time as soon as it latches drop the next 1 on top of if, previous person cryos the hurt bronto.
Have snow owl to heal after and you can keep taming nogs all day
You can actually use the noglin to fly birds underwater right now. Usually you get kicked off the saddle when you ride one into water, but with the noglin you aren’t riding it with your character. Also, when you attach to the bird and fly underwater it seems to have infinite stamina. One more thing, controlling a bird can be a great way to get into your enemy’s base so you can wreak havoc.
This guy will play you like A DAMN FIDDLE
I'm finding that on servers with higher Wild Dino levels, 5 Brontos are not enough for max efficiency. And since Noglins will eat 5 dinos before they lose efficiency, they are impossible to get max efficiency when taming them.
IT SAYS TAMEING :SACRIFICES I'm wondering how powerful the sacrifices have to be?
DO NOT USE BREED CREATURES TO TAME, IT WORKS WITH WILD TAMES

These spawn all over Rockwell’s Garden, not just in the innards. They’re pretty rare though.
When using the noglin to tame creatures be careful not to remove the noglin from the creature too early or it woll istant kill the creature you are trying to tame
