What are tips for procoptodon? Tips and strategies for procoptodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If your struggling to find them- they are found at The Red Peak in the redwood forests. This is a massive risk because of thylas, be careful happy camper!
If you're having troubles with taming it, and you for some reason don't have rare flower, then you can try waiting until it stops jumping and place a tent on it which should block it sometimes inside of it, then surround it with spike walls, then knock it out.
Best Berry farmer IMO,Gets berries as good as a Trike, has the weight of a Bronto and can outrun nearly anything with vanilla speed.
Also if you come across a Carno,Bear,Raptors,Wolves,Hyaenas,Sabertooths exc. you can time the kick attack to be able to kill them without getting hit yourself.
It says its torpor drain is average but it’s not it drops fast. The good thing is you don’t have to feed it much narcotics to keep it knocked out

Go to this area in the Island, quite a few procoptodons spawn there!
Easy way to tame a procoptodon:
1.Build 4 wooden signposts
2. find a procoptodon.
Wherever procoptodons are, Spino’s or rexes are nearby.
3. Find a safe place (volcano crater, your base, cliffs)
4. Put down three sign posts
5. Use an Argy to carry the Procoptodon to the signposts.
5. KO with tranqs.
6. Feed rare mushrooms and Narcotics
Boom! Now you have a prehestoric kangaroo!
I’ve found multiple.. ALWAYS. carry rare mushrooms or plant species X seeds with you… I’ve been heartbroken so many times cuz I accidentally kill them with my griffin/argent.
I used a Thyla to chase it down. Since you can shoot from the back of the Thyla without dismounting, and the Thyla can jump like crazy the way to roo does, it helped being fast enough to keep up with it.
They can be found on snow area on mobile they are super rare tho. But they do spawn near mammoths 1/8 times if you see pair of mammoths.
They don't only eat rare flowers they also eat rare mushrooms!
If your playing valguero you can find these things in the white cliffs
Spyglass glitching (read in ankylo) with kick is stupidly funny:
Me: *wandering Whitesky Peak (the artic)*
Some direwolf: me Shmell preyyyyyyyy
Me: *heard the roar* welp, time for the spyglass
Direwolf pack: come here and kiss me on my hot mout-
Me: BEGONE! *spyglass glitches them off the cliff to the ocean
Now Seawolf pack: Foiled Again!!!!!!
How to trap tame:
- have 3 billboards (wood is cheapest) and 6 wooden spike traps
- have them ready to place
- kangaroo stops, place billboards in a triangle orientation blocking off the path ahead of it FIRST as it takes longer to turn around
- knock out and place spike traps around openings leaving room to walk in
- when done destroy spike walls and billboard or cryopod out
Can still be carried by argents on switch
can find them all over the middle mountain in the island
