Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a procoptodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a procoptodon.
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 )
Cant pick em even with a quetzal
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.
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.
Since update, easiest way to tame is to eat a rare flower and trap it. Make sure you kill other Dino's or it won't end well
You can tame one early on by eating a rare flower and leading it to a trap (make sure there's nothing near you can that kill you or your procoptodon) and then picking plant species x seeds from bushes
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 ☺
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
Be careful because the max torpor is lower than on dododex. Lvl 20 is actually 578. I don't know about the rest of them
Use a Net gun makes taming easy
If you don't wanna trap it and have some powerful, fleet footed mounts already, then you can just wait till they lose aggro over and over.
They lose aggro really fast, if you have a quick mount, you can shoot it, let it run off til it stops running (loses aggro), then shoot it again til its KO'd, just make sure you bring a powerful mount for defense. I used a Poison Wyvern, but a high level PT or even Argy might work.
Some rare mushrooms and a couple narco arrows does the trick. I got lucky and got mine stuck in some rocks
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
With the new net projectile this is a much easier tame. Ensnare it with the net, and then place 2-4 dino gates with gaps it can't fit through. Place the gate doors on either end, and then start tranqing. Eats rare mushrooms to tame, and then berries once tamed. No more rare flower troubles.
Not So Fun Fact: after tame EVERYTHING will attack. I have a max level male and I just tamed anothet max to breed right? I let the newly tamed female stay where it is while I go grab the saddle I forgot. On my way back I get a death message from the kangaroo and my eyes start tearing up because it took me like- an hour to find that max female and now I'm sad.
Tame: Just wait until it stops and then place 4 or 5 wooden panels around it (start at the front at the nose otherwise it will jump away)
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
YOU CAN PICK THIS UP WITH AN ARGY ON MOBILE! Just found one by the volcano and I carried it all the way to herbivore island.
