Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Oviraptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Egg buff don’t affect scorpions. (Immensely disappointed, I got the ovirator for the sole reason of buffing my pulmonos, tryna get kibble for rex, turns out all a wasted effort)

You can bring it in a cryopod to wyverns nests and have it follow over nest to steal eggs with no agro

You can over burdened your Oviraptor and set it on wandering and he will still give off the buff.

This creatures ability is to steal eggs without alerting their parents however this ability only works when he is in the nest and set to follow you so use this to your advantage and steal things such as wyvern eggs

It is easy if you have an bronto to lay the eggs, because you are just going to have more eggs after taming him/her.

Oviraptors DO consume both regular and fert eggs in feeding trough. Confirmed by adding dodo eggs and he consumed immediately

I love these guys they steal eggs for you and they are cute I was once out with my oviraptor and I saw a bronco egg so I stole it and it’s hilarious to look at him with the bro to egg

You can find them near the open plains near Volcano on the island. Its from the cave, up the hill, away from the river. There will be some jungle, then you'll hit a wide open plains area. Careful. Carnos spawn there very often as well.

Had trouble getting it to pick up egg then reached down and picked up a bronco egg in its mouth! Bronto did not even notice! So amazing screen shorted it.

It's actually very easy to tame in the beginning, just steal bronto eggs and run away then come back when they're not aggressive anymore, then easily tame oviraptors!

Just make a small pen with fence foundations and windows, pick one up with an argie, drop it in and tranq it and tame it at your leisure.
