Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a pachyrhinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a pachyrhinosaurus.
Be warned, torpor drops pretty fast on these, and they have low torpor as well. Also, they eat bug repellent. No, seriously.
Their "kibble" is bug repellent
Their farts calm carnivores
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.
The passive mist doesn't reduce food in dinosaur that are effected or not effected by mist nor does it drain food while taming other dinos
Do not throw bolas at them, all it will do is make them mad
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?
Yea so they eat bug spray
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).
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.
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
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
Use its ability to tame Royal Griffin on mobile.Griffin will starve soon and it’ll eat like immediately
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.
These things are extremely easy to knock out with bows and traq arrows but ounce their knocked out you have to stay constantly watching their torpor. It drops incredibly fast, i had to feed mine almost x60 bio toxin which gives x80 torpor. Yeah... its a bot crazy
They take less torpor to the head than the body
I ser multiple people saying this is a great early tame...if you dont have repellant you're gonna have a tough time as it's torpor drops like a puny saiyan in 10x gravity. Lvl 10 takes about an hour on mejos and if you blink it will wake up. Recommend already having a berry dino beforehand to gather narcs as you tame. Saddles for this and other newer rideables dont have saddles in prim+ yet
Imagine blaming one whith mejoberrys
They eat bug repellent as their kibble
They spawn in the bog on genesis
