Tips & Strategies
Oviraptor may look useless, but is far from it, so here’s a guide to help you acquire one yourself
1. Oviraptor only eats eggs, so you will need to gather some. Bronto eggs are the best, because they give a ton of taming progress, and are realistic to acquire. If you have tamed brontos, breed them, if not, you can easily find one laying around groups of brontos. Next best I would recommend diplo or stego eggs, cause they still give a lot of progress, and are easier to obtain. Breed them or find them, whatever works best
2. Oviraptors are knockout tames, so come prepared with around 15 tranq arrows or 10 tranq darts. It’s easiest to bola it to tranq it but if you really want to trap it you can
3. Once it’s out just put the eggs in it. Depending on the eggs you may need narcs.
Happy taming!

Tame the lowest level one so you don't waste your eggs, no matter what level it is it will do the same thing
the oviraptor can steal eggs wiithout making the dinosuar that layed the egg angry just find a egg and lead it to the egg and it will pick the egg up!!! btw if u r planning to tame these they only eat eggs up if it is helpful!
Remember after taming they WILL EAT MEAT DONT WASTE ANYMORE EGGS ON THEM THEY'RE NOT LIKE TITANBOAS.
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.
Tried using Magmasaurs eggs but they are classed as other eggs and only gave 1%.
How to tame:
Step 1: FIND IT
Step 2: STEAL ITS CRAPPED OUT EGG
Step 3: BEAT THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF IT
Step 4: FEED IT ITS OWN EGG
Step 5: CONGRATS, NOW CHUCK IT IN THE SEAAAAA
Encumber them so they don't move around
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.
Oviraptors will only cover a set area, make sure you place it near the Dino's you intend on farming eggs from. Otherwise you may want to tame multiple ovi's for larger Dino pen's.
tame the highest level you can find if you want one that has any range for egg pickup. it is absolutely the level NOT the melee that increases range. so put your points on health. you also do not need to put points into weight either.
