Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a phiomia? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a phiomia.
Here's how to tame a Phiomia, multiple steps, with Argentavis and without:
(No Argentavis)
•Have a Bola ready
•Get a club or slingshot, tranq arrows do just fine as well
•Gather PLENTY of crops and/or berries
•Search in the redwoods or swamps, they mostly hang around in those areas, but BEWARE! It's dangerous! If you're lucky, you might find one at the edge of a beach.
•If you found one, wrap it with a Bola
•Use whatever you have to knock it out with
•Guard it, everything will want to eat it
(Argentavis)
•Have a saddle ready
•Gather crops/berries
•Use whatever KO tool(tranq arrows or club recommended)
•Mount the Argentavis
•Search redwoods or swamps
•Pick it up
•Place it in a pen or a safer, secluded area
•Wrap it if not in a pen
•Use tranq arrows or darts for quick KO
•Guard it with your Argentavis
These aren't very good choices as mounts, but can be very useful for farming! When feeding stimberries to them, it acts as a laxative, so you can get fertilizer more frequently! Just be sure to have plenty of stimberries, and enjoy your Phiomia!
Stock up on berries. Really easy to tame. Hit it and it will run away. Keep chasing it abd eventually it will run into a rock and stay stuck there. Hit it with a club until it becomes unconscious. Then feed it with berries. Be sure to bring lots because their taming bar goes down fast. On a low level (5-30)The knocking out takes about 5 mins n the feeding takes about 3-5 mins. They consume all food really fast si again, be sure to stock up on its food.
Use your fist punch it when it knockDown feed it with 50 berries and now it tamed
Can you even ride these guys
And here’s a tip craft 3 primitive clubs and get a bunch of berries and knock it out
Bola it and then tranq it. It really isn’t that hard
It eats berries in 30 seconds is not even worth it I've died like a hundred times trying to tame one as of all the titanoboas I was running around like a chicken with his head cut off
16 my ass. 145 phioma ate like 21 kibble. Good thing I brought extras.....
1. use bola throw them and use tranq or wooden club or any and make them knock out 2.feed some berry dont wory is tame fast is a best for use for tame
If ur playing of ark islands they live on herbivore island no need to die in the swamps nothing attack’s you on that island unless you hit it or steal its egg
Try to have it stuck in a rock or a tree before you try to trank it, as it runs pretty fast. After that its an easy tame :)
These can be found all over except the Footpaw and cold places. They are especially plentiful on Herbivore Island, a crescent-shaped Island at the bottom corner of the Island's map. I will only leave it at that, because anyone who really likes taming herbivores and wants to go there with a Basilosaurus will search both corners to get to this Phiomia-Parasaur-Stegosaurus-Triceratops-Bronto-Ptera Heaven. OH, AND I FORGOT TO MENTION. THERE ARE OYSTERS BUT NO TRILOBITES SADLU SO U CAN'T GET BLACK PEARLS. THE CANYON AREA IS ALREADU TAKEN, BY MEEEEEEE, MEEEEE, MEEEEE!!
Herbivore island has a lot of them just bola it and knock it put
Bolo it and punch it. Knock it then feed. To get unlimited poo.
If you can’t corner them just use the slingshot. Then use mejoberries. Starve taming or regular taming works. Take this thing home and the smelly half of your fertilizer equation is solved.
Here's how to tame one of these, and give them diarrhea:
1-First, you need to get ready for taming a Phioma, it is easy, grab a bola or more incase you need to tame more or miss, then grab a wooden club or a bow/crossbow with tranq arrrows.
2-Secondly, find a Phioma, they are pretty much everywhere, once you see one, throw the bola at it, and start hitting it with the club or your crossbow/bow with tranq arrows in the head.
3-You can feed it berries, veggies, or its preferred kibble.
Now once you have tamed it, you will need to know how to use it, not just name it porkchop and keep it in the cryofridge for the rest of time.
You can shove stimberries down its throat, just put stimberries in its inventory, and make sure that it isn't at 0 food.
When you feed it, it will start pooping a lot, and i mean a lot... enough to make the place stink and enough for the smell to come outta your device.
And the poop is actually really useful, use the poop for your plants so they don't die, or turn the poop into fertilizer using a Dung Beetle.
I am not sure where to find Dung Beetles exactly but anyways...
Thanks for reading, i hope this helped! (Dont keep your phioma named porkchop in the cryofridge for centuries, it needs some sun, just let it get some vitamin D)

Find one, bola it and smack it with a bat til it’s knocked out, feed it some berries and once it’s tame the Saddles are very easy to get
-MangoDragon
Easy to tame bola it whack it then give it berries and you have one they do est a lot I gave mine 100 berries and in a few days he went thorugh them all they are mostly useful for there poop
What I did was I hit it with bat into a rock and it got stuck. So I punched it until unconscious and the fed it berries. Easy tame.
This is so annoying to tame without tranq arrows cuz ut runs away really fast after is escapes the bola
Cornered it with a coub and hit it till it was unconscious good early tame as it is a wood gatherer
