Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a noglin? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a noglin.
I bread a bunch of brontosauruses and I brought them to the little guy, I tamed him, their sacrifice was not in vain.
I already see someone taming one and going to every server and mind controlling everyone’s tames then killing it after they mind control
If you even want to tame one, be prepared to spend hours on it. You can reset them by knocking them out, and they will begin to latch on creatures again. Just make sure to have your tames on passive, because I lost 3 noglins just from tames accidentally kiling them. Trap em in gates, and then throw your tames in. Only attempt this with full tek armor, these things are vicious. Turtles or diplodicus, brontos work but can kill each other.
If taming with brontos, be sure to throw one out at a time and pod it after to avoid it being killed.
Use a non-breed tamed bronto to tame a noglin
This little gremlin has a suicide wish as it likes to kill itself. The way I have so far tamed 15 of them at levels 30-190 is by utilizing 6 brontos, and 6 behemoth gates. Start by placing 6 behe gates closed in the last sloped area in rockwell innards or trapnit someway shape or form. Make sure the bottom of your behemoth gates is closed off allowing the noglin no exit. Make sure it is a big enough trap for brontos to move in. Once made use a flyer, skiff or grapple hook(need a gullie suit) to bring it to the trap. Once in uncryo the brontos or lead them in one by one and have them on passive. Hover dorectly above the brontos head and if need be slowly drift in a circle. Make it chase you but not ever attack, as the noglin will kill itself with the brontos tail. Keep that up for 5 brontos bring extra of need be and make sure the noglins aggro on you and nothing else or they will likely kill themself or your brontos.
Don’t try tame with bred creatures!…the percentage of each Dino for it can vary and is unreliable…use wild creatures for best outcome!…brontos and voidwyrms seem to be best for 100% taming effectiveness.
Find one using a snow owl then knock it out make sure to have lots of dinos w/high health and decent saddles then box it up using fence foundations then make walls out side of that maybe even using Dino gates then just sit back and watch so it doesn’t mind control you
If your going to tame a noglin and you want it with 100% taming efficiency use voidwyrms or brontos me personally I used a bronto because it’s less expensive but if you already have 5 voidwyrms definitely use them but make sure to track the noglin and put your dinos on passive before he mind controls them or else your Dino might kill the noglin.
You can't tame noglin with bred creatures.
Just found out that you can not clone noglins
I recommend using brontos, though a tank like dino can fit in the innards and use preferably levels 200+ anything lower gives lower efficiency and 200+ brontos are one of not so many dinos that give 20% tame each on good level noglins.
On 3x you need about 30 turtles for a 174 noggin
If taming one of these you will need: 5 nets, harpoon, 10 Rex or any large creature, 4 Dino gates.
1. Find one and net it
2. Put the 4 Dino gates up so nothing can get in or out
3. Throw out your Rex’s or large creatures and let the taming begin
4. The noglin should take control then kill them
Step 1 : get a wild tame void level 150 +
Step 2 : clone it 5 to 6 times 6 to be safe
Step 3 : let said noglin mind control your voids
Ez nogz
They changed the taming again. It makes any tames you sacrifice wild and aggressive. Thumbs up to save a life
Use void wyverns they don’t take no damage and they literally fly around you they drop and give it another one use 5 sometimes 6
Once you start your taming process let the noglin attach to you to get 125% taming effectiveness then proceed with regular taming. You don't have to knock it out again if the taming goes down to zero.
Best way to tame use brontos must be level 202 brontos, put a saddle on each bronto. Health does not matter, spot your noglin that you want to tame, clear everything around the noglin, throw out one bronto and let the noglin agro to it, throw out the next bronto and in your taming bar track the noglin, every bronto will give you 20% taming. When noglin attach to next bronto pod the first one, if the noglin is not attached to a bronto you have 1m30sec to get it attached otherwise the taming % will start to drop.
Make sure all brontos health is full healed, the noglin will not attach easy to a half health bronto. Rince and repeat step one. Good luck and have allot of patience. If the taming drop to 0% nock it out and start over with full health brontos.
Enjoy its a annoying tame.
Ps make sure all brontos are on passive
My brontos kept killing the noglin as it jumped off. So I whistled all stop and it seems to do the trick.
