Oviraptor
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Oviraptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
So their easy to knock out, taming it.....not that easy, they eat eggs. The larger the egg, the more efficient it tames. You can tell the size by the weight of the egg. These guys are very useful, put them on wander in your base, and they'll collect all your creatures eggs.
In ASA, the Oviraptor has a setting for egg collection, and a the egg laying buff is turned on while wondering is activated. So over weight them till they the eggs weigh them down. PS they eat meat once tamed. Just keep meat in troughs or eggs will become lunch.
The higher the level, the larger the range of egg pickup. Stats don’t seem to matter, only the level it’s at.
Breed them after you get a male and female it's easier than wasting eggs for taming
For those who don’t know, this thing is a secret prime meat harvesting GOD! While I’ve been breeding argy for stats and mutations, I tend to get a lot of bad one, so I just kill them. This little guy (who’s making everything lay some more eggs) would run up to the dead…
For those who don’t know, this thing is a secret prime meat harvesting GOD! While I’ve been breeding argy for stats and mutations, I tend to get a lot of bad one, so I just kill them. This little guy (who’s making everything lay some more eggs) would run up to the dead body, and attack them. Nothing ever happened, he kept attacking till the body would eventually disappear. One day, the same thing was happening, and I got sick of it, so I grabbed the bird to move it. This thing harvested it. I was shocked. I checked it’s inventory, and it was LOADED! Cooked all of it as fast as I could.
Level matters in Ascended, it affects range for pickup.
The higher the melee on the oviraptor the farther away it
Can collect eggs. 700 melee will cover a 25×30 barn and then some
First off, if you're on official rates and you don't have access to a giga egg, get comfy cuz you're taming dodos for the next 2 hours. One male and as many females as you can. They have a chance of laying an egg every time they poop so even though you literally…
First off, if you're on official rates and you don't have access to a giga egg, get comfy cuz you're taming dodos for the next 2 hours. One male and as many females as you can. They have a chance of laying an egg every time they poop so even though you literally need like 200 for a mediocre Ovi, it still might be faster than waiting for another creature to pop out enough for you. Secondly, do find a way to trap it before you knock it, ANYWHERE that isn't near those dang ichthyornis birds. I had just knocked an oviraptor once when that bird swooped down and just like that I no longer had the amount of eggs I needed. It's happened with narcotics too. Just stay away from those avian beach bums. Third and last of all, the ovi will NOT hold all the eggs it needs to eat all at once. So you'll have to pay attention and keep adding eggs as it eats. This guy needs some serious babysitting while being tamed, but the buff is definitely worth it.
You'll read a lot online that says the weight of the egg determines the taming effectiveness gain. That is B.S.
An argent egg and a carno egg weigh exactly the same but the carno egg is worth about twice the tame percentage.
Oviraptor running in fear = Danger
Nothing attacks these guys, but they do run flee from corpses, so it means a creature's been killed near it by something dangerous.
Note that oviraptors do NOT collect the eggs of your (tribe's) tames. Oviraptors are useful because they will collect wild eggs and will allow you to pick them up without aggro-ing any nearby dinos.
To use them, set them to passive and following you/your flyer, drop them…

To use them, set them to passive and following you/your flyer, drop them near the egg, fly closer to it, then pick your oviraptor up after it snatches the egg. Fly to a safe place (if you're in dangerous territory) to collect the egg!
No pen needed just fill inventory with rocks. (it needs to be on wondering for egg buff)
Higher the level, higher the pickup range. These are no longer based off stat
higher levels increase range. NOT melee
you do not need to increase weight, it will pick up all eggs in its range.
make sure it has food in the trough or it will eat eggs. and yes, it prefers the big eggs over the small when it gets hungry.

the egg buff does work. load with rocks and put on wander. works even better if using mated pair of oviraptors. but buff doesn’t stack.
These will NOT collect eggs laid by tamed dinos. It increases the rate at which they are laid but are still required to be manually picked up. I was under the impression they collected tamed Dino eggs if set to wander in a Dino pen. THEY DO NOT
Who thinks that these bois should get a weight redux on eggs cause hey weigh a lot
For beginners or people who don't want to risk getting eggs from bigger dinos, just use dodo eggs since dodo's lay eggs so much.
You'll encounter these guys in the grass lands, beaches, and redwoods.
U CAN USE OVIRAPYORS TO STEAL WYVERN EGGS WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT!
