Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a procoptodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a procoptodon.
You can't live in Australia(scorched earth) with out taming one of these.
Tip for taming, get some rare flowers and use a taming pen lead into it, trap it, then pelt it with arrows
WARNING the torpor calc is off and it will wake up without you pumping it up(at least on scorched earth)
As of 4/20/17 this calculator is incorrect. 150 max torp is 2138 not 3479. A problem for sure
Could someone submit a tip on where to find them in the island?
Can be found in the Redwoods on The Island!
Can’t be picked up by argents or wyverns now. Such bs
How to tame Procoptodon
Step 1Find a procotodon
Step 2 While taming using a frog
Step 3 Kill all dinos
Well just use wooden billboards and just wait for it to stop then place wooden billboards around it and boom now it’s stuck enjoy.
I use a net projectile to demobilize it then shoot it with tranqs.
They can eat berries on mobile
Good way to trap them is with a standard 2x2 stone doorframe trap and rare flowers. They can get over 1 wall, so stack walls 2 high. They cannot be picked by any flier, and can only be immobilized by large bear traps. Another way to get them, for high level survivors, is freezing one with a snow owl, and putting spikes around it
Nothing quite sucks as much as losing a good tame because you had outdated information.
They CAN NO LONGER BE PICKED UP by Argy, knocked out or not.
Don't do my mistake and don't waste your time trying to pick up your knocked out procoptodon, just build that spike fence before something attacks!!
Can be trapped with the net gun.
In mobile it still can be picked up by argy this is 2021 and I just did carry one with argy — sly gold
How to tame on mobile:
Step 1: Get bronto
Step 2: Bring bronto to swamp
Step 3: Demolish trees to get rare mushrooms
Step 4: Spend ages looking for a procoptodon. The best way to find them is to not be looking for them.
Step 5: Carry procy back to base with argy
Step 6: Tranq and feed mushrooms
Enjoy jumping around and kicking things
Just gonna say that the things the birds can and can’t pick up needs updated. I picked up a Procoptodon with my argy just yesterday.
How to tame a procoptodon
1st step: get either rare flowers or a lymantria
2nd step: find the procoptodon of your liking
3rd step: craft billboards
4th step: stun the procoptodon with the lymantria and put bill boards around it
4th step(rare flowers): put three billboards down and leave an opening, hide behind the billboard that’s in front of the opening and eat the rare flower, once the procoptodon is in the trap place the last billboard down
5th step: tranq the procoptodon and feed it rare mushrooms
Good luck
I’m on mobile rn found a lvl 5 but I don’t have flyers to ride it ima try and take it now but I’m near a couple dangers :,) ( 1 like = Good luck )
Pick it up with your argy then take it to your base and have someone shoot it while you're holding it with the argy. Actually works. Much easier than chasing it all over your base. Lol.
