I managed to tame one gy accedent... didng even mean to, got ravaged by a pack and i got the messege to name it lol
They gonna steal yo SHIZ
AND RUN LIKE USAIN BOLT. I
One of the best ways of tackling this annoying dino I found is, if your aim is good enough, to bind it with a bola. Since it charges straight at you on sight, connecting the throw is relatively easy. The time the animal spends with its legs tied is usually enough to poke even high-level (100+) ones to death with a spear. BEWARE: the bola somehow doesn't prevent it from using its pouncing/robbing attack, so approach it from the side.
For taming berries are better and recommended in stacks of around 50 mejo
If your quetz ever is getting attacked and you dont know by what just let it die because there is a chance that you could also have your ascendant longneck dissapear to find nothing but bullets in the pegomastax's inventory
I don't know how this worked but I tamed one on a player dedicated server by bolaing it right as it was mid jump
Easiest way to tame is knock out the Pogo and build a small pen around it that pretty much only the two of you can fit in. Be cautious though because it doesn't have a torpor meter, it will lose health. I don't know the exact amount but it seems to be a percentage based off of its health. It will not lose tame bonus from this, just make sure to swap your berries to the last slot in your hot bar. You will need a couple hundred berries I tamed a lvl 25 and it took about 4 stacks on a 1.5x taming weekend.
Make sure you only have mejoberries in your inventory and then it will rob you of them.. congrats you tamed a the most annoying Dino on the game..
May not be helpful, but while I was taming a Rex, it needed to eat one more prime (which I had in my inventory, it had normal meat) one of these guys walked up stole it and while I was chasing Rex woke up killed my lvl 78 quetz and I kept saying, "Pegomastax u b*tch!!!!!
Does not tame with crops only mejo berries
Sneaky mf opossum-looking thieves. They deserve the extinction they received.
Based on my experience if you have berries in your last slot the pogo will steak the berries and gain taming effeciancy. Any berries are fine
Son of a batch stole my first and only glass jar of water. Easier to just stay on dino and kill it if they are around.
I don't know who gets their items back but I've never gotten a single item back from one. Put mejo's in your last slot and let them steal. Use taming pen in PvP. In PvE run to follow it and pray you don't get eaten by a bigger dino while taming.
Put taming speed up to 9999999 then knock one out then as soon as it wakes up shove mojo berries in its mouth
Crops do not work, if they take crops from you after you start taming, the taming will drop faster. Only use berries.
The more people the pego can steal from the faster it takes.
This dino is just annoying
Any berries (sans narcotics and stim) work for this guy. The more the merrier. Equip large stacks to the last quick slot and let them steal them away. The more people he takes from at once, the faster the tame is.
Does not eat crops doddex lies to you
You can actually carry these with the pteranodon. They tame easier with berries and they're dirty little theifs.
