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

Everyone needs to know and it is dev confirmed that Oviraptors DO NOT buff chances of mutations or twins or triplets. This is a long going myth that needs to be shut down. Any twins or triplets you are getting is purely coincidence. This was said by one of the devs on twitter!

Tame the lowest level one so you don't waste your eggs, no matter what level it is it will do the same thing

Don't try to hold in a cage it will glitch out just fill it with wood or stone and place in wandering and it will give the egg laying buff but will not move

You need to make sure that your tamed oviraptor has meat in it's inventory, otherwise it will eat the eggs that it has picked up.

These guys can steal eggs without aggroing surrounding dinos! You can get easy wyvern and rock drake eggs! Put it in a cryo pod, sneak into a nest, pop it out of the pod and have it set to follow close, run to the other side of the nest and when it gets to the nest it will take…

You may be wandering, HOW TO TAME THEM. To tame them, knock them out, (fists, club, tranq arrows, etc.) and feed them eggs. Not meat or berries, eggs. IT DOES NOT MATTER, FERTILIZED OR NOT. The bigger the egg, the better. In conclusion, that is how to tame an oviraptor. Hope…

Tame a high level one and fly around the map with it close to the floor it will pick up all nearby eggs laid by untamed dinos

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.

Don't like getting titanoba eggs your self drop this little dude in the swamp and follow it with a argy or quetzal and when it manages to get a egg swoop it up and you got your self a titanoba egg with out any harm done to you
