I think ark should make narcotic spike walls, because narcotic tripwire traps render it untameable. Narcotic spike walls will deal damage to the creature attacking them, but not as much as a regular spike wall. Then you could stand in a ring of narcotic spike walls with a pachyrhino, use aggro mist, and tame some of the unconsious creatures! To craft a narcotic spike wall, i think you should need: One spike wall and 5 narcotic. The narcotic spike wall is similar to the tranq arrow, ingreadients and function. Please ^ if you want this idea to come to life! ;D

Did you know that Pachyrino's calm puff can reduce creatures' food fast?

That is VERY useful in taming.

Be warned, torpor drops pretty fast on these, and they have low torpor as well. Also, they eat bug repellent. No, seriously.

Want hide? Build a circle of spike walls around it and use the rage function. Sit back, grab some popcorn, and watch all the nearby creatures kill themselves.

Their "kibble" is bug repellent

While fishing, are you sick of all the fish being scattered? If you bring this dino near the shore or on a boat where fish are near by and use the aggro mist, it will aggro the fish to come right to you in a big crowd!

They have a two-seated saddle for you to bring an extra person (like the griffin). Nobody said this yet (that I’ve seen) so there you go.

For mobile players, this is definitely useful and should tame if you want to farm black pearls. Black pearls is hard to get in mobile unless you kill tuso, alpha mosasaur, run dungeon. Well here some lil tips (just my idea for farm black pearls)

- tamed pachyrhino have 2 effect and that's hidden and aggro. While you use aggro effect everything will come and attack you even the parasaur, pteranodon, fish.

- bring your otter with you and take your pachyrhino to somewhere water there is so many fish and use the aggro effect and yeet your otter let your otter do the job (otter attack fish if the fish attack you and otter will get you black/ white pearls after kill the fish, no need to whistle your otter just let fish attack your pachyrhino while you riding). Then boom, you get 10 black pearls per minute.

Although everything might attack you, no worries. Just put points on health(and dmg if necessary) then kill all the thing with your pachyrhino except the fish. Pachyrhino dealt very good amount of dmg

If you think this tips is useful, up to let other see this

Thank you for reading

Did you know the hidden buff drains stamina fast?

That is VERY useful when in a fight.

250 points   🔧 Utility   Sep 22, 2020   Report

Can you use its “mists” (idk what to call it) on mobile? I want to know if there worth taming (⬆️ if they can ⬇️ if they cant) ty!

It's a Pachyrhino and it knows what to do, one puff of agro buff and you're tamin' a zoo!

Best utility is to aid with difficult passive tames, possibly even onyc or the spiders,also dinos that run when turpor is high I think u can reel them back in with red mist(further testing needed)

Not for taming a Pachy, but rather other knockout-tames. Once they are knocked out (be on pc/console for this) Yeet the Pachy out of its cryopod, use the Calming Pheromones to drain the creatures stamina, in order to regain stamina, the creature will drain their own hunger so they’ll eat faster, therefore taming faster. If on Mobile, carry the Pachy using a Quetz or Request them over. Congrats, you can now tame that 360 Giga on Fars Peak, GREGORY.

When tamed, it's pacify ability makes it very useful in a cave. Likely very useful in passive tames as well, as it keeps them calm.

Does not reduce animals food on mobile unfortunately

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).
