Tips & Strategies
Guys I just figured it the COOLEST thing! If you’re a beginner and you want to tame a raptor or a terror bird or saber tooth, but you’re too slow, lead it to one of these guys. When the thing you want to tame attacks it, the pachy will release a gas that will make anything around lose all stamina. It’s a bug or a glitch or something, but I assure you it will make your target a “slow walker”. For a few minutes (at least, maybe forever) the raptor, terror bird, etc. will only be able to walk. It’s awesome! I tamed a max level terror bird this way at a really low level. (This was on mobile).
In theory, would they be the ultimate taming tame? Rider Weaponry, and has a passenger for another Tranq rifle, agro and tank with their resistance from the front or when you need to protect the knocked creature pacify everything nearby (and someone said it drains the creatures food) so would this underrated tame actually be the best taming tool there is?
It’s kibble is bug repellent so you’ll need like 9-11 bug repellents to tame it if you don’t have bug repellents just use crops which you can grow in large crop plots that includes a rockcarrot, citronal, longrass and a savoroot, also it’s torpor goes down really fast so you have to have lots of biotoxin on you which you can get from a Cnidaria (jellyfish) 20-30. If you can’t find that just use narcotics 50-60 or narcoberries 90-130 it’s saddle unlocks at level 27 and you need
140x hide
80x fiber
25x wood
You can use a large bear trap but you’ll need like 1-2 cause you need like 5-9 tranq arrows or 1-3 tranq darts
Yea so they eat bug spray
The best map to find your local drug dealer is valguero. They spawn in most places in groups of 2 to 5 but sometimes spawn in huge armies.
Don't aim for the head, as the multiplier works against you, check headshots/multipliers for this. Bring a lot of narcotics and watch out for its gas that is released upon running away from you
How To Tame:
• Grab Some Tranq Darts And A Crossbow.
• Craft Some Narcotics (You’ll Need A Lot Cuz Of The High Torpor) Or Bring An Equus With Spoiled Meat In It’s Inventory So You Can Gather Narcoberries From Nearby Bushes And Make More If You Ran Out.
• Try To Run In Circles And Shoot It In The Body While Trying To Avoid Hitting The Head As It Doesn’t Do As Much Torpor (If It’s Charging Towards You Try Shooting The Legs).
• Craft Some Bug Repellent After Knocking It Out.
• Place Some In It’s Inventory And Surround It With Wooden Spike Walls For Protection Which Is Optional.
• Feed It A Narcotic Or Bio Toxin Every Time The Torpor Gets Low.
So Yeah Once It Wakes Up You Have Yourself A Pachyrhino, It Has Two Abilities:
A Purple Mist: Basically Makes You Invisible Near A Dino If You Come Near One Except For Large Dinos Like Rexes And Gigas, It Can Be Used To Travel Through Dangerous Areas. (It Doesn’t Work On A Dino Which Is Already Attacking You Too).
A Red Mist: Makes Everything Around You Aggro On You Even If It’s A Passive Dino, It Even Works On Fish So You Can Herd Them And Easily Farm Prime Fish Meat/Fish Meat.
The purple mist isn’t a calming mist. It’s a hiding mist. Things that are already attacking you don’t stop, because they know you’re there. Other creatures can’t tell, and won’t attack you. (With the exception of rexes, Gigas, brontos, and a few more. The buff is also called “hidden”, and not “all creatures currently attacking you are calmed”.
Quite a harmless Dino in the wild, only really a threat with a smart rider, so not a threat.
DO NOT TAME AROUND STUFF!!
EVERYTHINGS AFTER IT!
These things are NOT HARD to knock out using JUST your fists, if your good at dodging them just use your fists or an axe or something. But really, the torpo drops so fast, I knocked out and in like 10 minutes it was back up.
Use its ability to tame Royal Griffin on mobile.Griffin will starve soon and it’ll eat like immediately
These takes make an excellent starting mount, while being weaker than a trike it can pacify most animals smaller than a Rex, giving you a good escape from and hungry pack of raptors and can Agro animals using its other scent thing, which comes in handy in leading creatures into a trap. It is also a two seater and is faster than the trike.
