Facts pachycepalosaurus is a late Cretaceous Dino, it had a 25 mm thick dome, it was a herbivore, it can knock throw glass with nothing but the dome.

How to tame

1find a Pachy

2 eat berries that reduce how sleepy you are.

3 attacks with anything

4 feed it 3-20 berries…

I've found it does a better torpor than the scorpion or frog, a good pachy can knock out small to medium dinos with minimal problems.

When you're in a pickle the Pachy you use the charging ability and pretty much out speed a raptor example if you agro a carno just charge away and he can't catch you

Tamed my pachy on craggs island, called it slappy. They are quite slow but the charge adds some speed in short bursts, I charge until out of stam and them set him to follow while he gets stam back and charge again, knocked out a couple of dodos while charging.

Step 1 : find one. Step 2 : get a Bola , a club or a bow/crossbow and trang arrows .and some berries or the kibble that they prefer…

Easy way to tame one is to just go around it at all times and keep punching it then feed it a few berries a walla you have a pachy

Use bola and then hit with wooden club. This is the best way to tame a peachy early. Did it this morning. But watch out for other patchies as they will attack you if you smack one

Its charge attack is significantly faster than its sprint- I can easily leave my tamed carno in the dust with it.

Just keep in mind that you can't turn, and easily get hung up on even small rock-piles when charging.

A pack of 4 or more of these little guys can down a low- to mid- level carno without breaking a sweat, but they tend to get stuck on one another when used in packs. Best I've found is to make a follow train with each dino set to follow the one in front of it.

They can be use to get away from predators (if the pachy is high leveled) you can bulldoze through a pack of raptors or allos plus they can knock them out so you can get away

These are super helpful! I bring 4 with me when I go out to tame dinosaurs. Having multiple distracts what ever you want to tame while you hit it with tranq arrows. They also slow them down from running away just by being in the way.

Just for a bunch of people out there to know the patchy does a lot of Torp poor it’s just there’s only one downside it will kill stuff. If you don’t get it to calm down before it kills the creature a.k.a. when the creature starts running, you go for it don’t let your…

I tamed this the same way I tamed a paramour! Just use a bola and knock it out with a club. Wooden club. And feed it berries and its yours!!

Pretty decent early game mount for mobility (using its charge attack) and torpor attack. It’s a shame it can only collect thatch and wood and nothing else.
