Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a procoptodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a procoptodon.
don't use wyvern wing to trap it. When u do this and u try tranq it, ark makes it disappear! Lost few to this. Use rare flower trap. Old school
Found in and around Redwood (island) bola won't work use trap
i picked this bad boy up with my argy (mobile) and dropped him inside a box big enough for me and him. then i shot him with tranq arrows until he collapses like a sack of potatoes. then i fed him rare mushrooms and species x seeds. took about maybe 10 minutes? to tame him, so now i have a roo named peterson :)
I used a single bola and I think 5 tranq arrows. Soothing balm would’ve helped but I had some extra tranq sauce because 12 magic mushrooms was not enough to satisfy the beast
Eat rare flowers and run to it.
Easiest way I've found by far to date for taming these is get yourself a mantis, lvl doesn't matter, an ascendant or MasterCraft club, lvl stam Abit and melee a bit just as extra measure, then find your desireed roo, let stam build up then play wack-a-roo. With ascendant club can knock with 2-3 hits. Enjoy your hunting mate:3
1 knock out
2 feed rare mushrooms
3 when tamed mack saddle
4 put saddle on Dino
5 and done!
On scorched earth in the eastern oasis you can find purple bushes, if you harvest these with a (for an example) morelatops there is a really high chance of gettin rate mushrooms.
When you knock out a procoptodon Feed it rare mushrooms they actually eat it when you want to tame them.
Use a Net gun makes taming easy
Build a trap, eat a rare flower and lead it into the trap.
I found one out of the snow on mobile well I was looking for a griffen
Cant pick em even with a quetzal
Me on mobile sees this kangaroo running I’m like I’m going to kill it i get back to base and tell my tribe mate what I did and he was like dude they are super rare then I facepalmed so hard I got knocked out
VERY CHEAP & EASY!
YOU WILL NEED:
1 Parasaur & 1 Morellatops & saddled

The amout of mushrooms needed
Friend
Find your kangaroo
At the same time position the para & morellatop beside the kangaroo to trap it!
Tranq & feed
And you have a,
KANGAROO!
I found one or two on the north west side of the map on the beach area, just before you get to the floating ice.
4 WOODEN BILL BOARDS, 1 large bear trap, bring at least 1 rare flower, though I recommend 2-3 because they don’t last long. Place 3 billboards, bear trap somewhere in there where you won’t run into it. Eat flower, run under billboard trap, when kangaroo hits bear trap place the last bill board in the last opening, then you have it boxed in and stuck. Feed rare mushrooms to tame. Ez
If you walk over the Procoptodon while it’s hopping it appears stuck in your Wyvern from the front. Then head to the front of your Wyv and start shooting it, it will end up stuck in your Wyvern since it’s trying to run from you. Then you should be able to knock it out. I was able to tame 4 at once.
For those that play on PVE (cant pick up wild dinos) and can not place any trap for it's pillars all over the map. Use thyla to ride a use Ru darts made from bio toxin and ru after the kangaroo and shoot it. They loose agro pretty fast but torpor is still there. Have done it many times and successfully tamed all kangaroos i wanted ☺
Just us nets and then knock it out and feed rare mushrooms it will eat berries after tames also one of the best narco berries farmers
