Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a noglin? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a noglin.
Bipity bopity your Rex is my property
Diplodocus are way better than turtle.150 perfect tame diplos can give 20% taming to noglins upto a pretty good level. Amd diplos don't do damage against any creatures.
Let others see this tip
Noglin looks pretty cool anyone agree
Who thinks this should be in aberration ?!!!
Bola the Noglin or use Plant Species Y.
Then build fast 4 Wood fence fundaments around it then place 4 Walls on the fence fundaments so hes caged.
Now place 8 small wood Gates with Gate Doors around the cage but let enough space for the turtles that you will place in it.
You need around 6 turtles (depends on the Noglin level and the turtle life).
You will need to move the turtles around because the Noglin will not instantly control your turtles.
If the life of a dino is Below 50% the Noglin is not interested.

Because this is the first creature in ark that will be able to mindbend with other dinos, they might create a new way of taming it. Taming sacrifices have been done with the troodon, and it might be the same with the noglin. But does anyone think it would be cool if wildcard DID start to create a new type of taming!?
You let it latch onto your tames in order to tame it. But reminder! It can’t be a bred tame only “fresh”. So you can tame a dino (ex Carb/Turtle) and feed it to the noglin but you can’t say feed it a bunch of rexs you hatched and raised. Hope this helps and makes some sense!
You can't tame using the noglin the potential tame dies after the control is done but my theory is you could have two and use them to breed the dinos
It’s favourite food is free will.
Use brontos for taming 130+ noglins for max effectiveness the brontos have to be leveled the noglin drains a lot of there hp so have a daeodon ready if your looking for more!
You can use Sanguine elixer from a Desmodus to finish up the last 30 percent of the tame. I use 4 Voidwryms and net them so they don't fly away. Then net the noglin (didn't reduce effectiveness for me) with the elixer in your hot bar and go up to it and it should light up ready to use, and bam say hi to your new noglin. Didn't see this anywhere and wanted to share
Better leveled dinos give more taming progress, with a max of 20% progress per tame. Species matters too, doeds/turtles were giving 11% where as stegos, diplos, and mammoths gave 20%
Imagine if you tame it by letting it take control of your Dino
Their favorite food is survivor earwax
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
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'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?
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
DO NOT USE BREED CREATURES TO TAME, IT WORKS WITH WILD TAMES
