Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a procoptodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a procoptodon.
This was one of my first tames. Just bola it, pump tranqs, shove plant X seeds in it’s floofy little muzzle, and cuddle it. It isn’t a waste due to the cuteness factor.
You’ll always find one getting bullied by gang of predators. Use argent to rescue it if you want to tame one.
I tame mine with rare mushrooms
Rare flowers don’t work on mobile
Standard bolo works to stop these from running off then tranq them. 4-5 tranq arrows for lvl 2
Hope this helps
They eat rare mushrooms and plant Xseeds to tame
One way to tame without traps or rare flowers
Get a beelzebufo, chase it down and hit it. Best way to keep up with procoptodon. It was moving fast but beelzebufo covers it with a jump. Just did it a few minutes ago
It ran from near smugglers peak to a river side and fell unconscious, it was a safe spot with only 3 raptors busy fighting trikes at that moment at some distance. With rare mushrooms and waiting a few minutes I had it tamed.
It was fun!!! Chasing!!!
Don't forget rare mushroom and some narcotics.
Net gun that’s it makes it real easy to tame
Watch out it’s torpor drains kinda fast I was taking one and didn’t have enough muschrooms so I teleported to bog for some rare mushroom and when I came back from only three minutes it was awake again so beware
Best to use rare flowers with a walk in trap made of wood with a roof that’s what I did and it worked well
It is affected by bola on mobile. I even tried it out to make sure on a wild one and it worked.
Hands down the best pack mule. My favorite is riding around with a chainsaw and loading up on 3 k worth of wood in 2 minutes. You don't even need a passenger, the driver can use the chainsaw.
If you are Australian then this is a must have for you to feel right at home
They can be trapped by a harpoon gun with nets.
After tamed it will eat berries 🍇🍒🍓🫐🍅🫒🥕🥦
For mobile players it can be found between the vulcano and the mountain to the right. (maybe a bit lower but not to the river) very good to gather resources if you live in the vulcano as i do. (many raptors and allos there so be prepared)(I found tree in 3 min there once if u wonder)
When taming, they eat rare mushrooms, but when tamed, they can also eat berry’s weird right?
ERROR IN DODODEX
It needs more narcotics than stated
Needed 23 it said, used 27, went away for a bit and it woke up
Shoot it in the head and let it run away from you but keep chasing it, after a little bit of time it will be calm again, shoot it and repeat. Worked for me and it's really good early game.
Rare flowers didnt work for me and my friends on mobile. Ended up trapping it on the side of a mountain though
