Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a procoptodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a procoptodon.
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 don't only eat rare flowers they also eat rare mushrooms!
If your playing valguero you can find these things in the white cliffs
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
Can be found on the island map at 40 Lat and 17 Long
First get four bill boards of any kind you can then get a large bear trap they can be expensive but it is worth it then get a rare flower and grab your choice of knock out supplies I recommend darts now just find a procoptodon the level you what place three bill boards in a U shape and put the bear trap in the middle eat the rare flower and it will agro and lead it into the bear trap then place the bill board to trap it and feed it whatever food works when you knock it out and make its saddle you will be able to easily get around.
Hit it with Tranqs hahaha actually put 2 bilboards on it and 2 round it 1 in front (on its head) and another 1 on its back then 2 boards round the kangaroo then shoot it wit either tranq darts or tranq arrows.
For mobile players mid game…i used my argent to pick it up and carry it back to my base. I dropped it inside my base which is three fences tall, four would have been better tho. Rare flowers didn’t work for me to get it into a billboard trap (and the argent randomly drops it for some reason if I touch the billboard) so instead I just tranqed it inside my base. Took me three tranq darts for a level 14. I used rare mushrooms and a few bio toxins to tame and it went well! Make sure you put your other tames on neutral when tranqing so you don’t kill it accidentally, as well as keep it fenced up because it runs pretty fast
Do not use bear traps it holds them for 2 seconds just get 4 billboards and place 3 in a square and eat a rare mushroom it will come to you and place the 4th billboard and then crawl under a traq in it
I found it up by the volcano carried it back with my argy then hit it with a bola and used abt 8 tranqs (I’m on single player)
Can no longer be picked up due to meshers. Yes the procop was used to mesh therefore they cant be picked up by argies or wyvs. Have fun taming 😉
Only can be carried by a Tuso. Argys and Wyverns can not carry them anymore.
this things will eat amarberrys after tamed so dont waste ur time on finding rare mushrooms
When you breed them, the female’s pouch gets bigger! Try it for yourself and compare the male to female.
There is an easy way to get rare mushrooms on mobile, on the very south side of the island near the cave of hunter, you can loot beaver dams and get like sixty a dam.
I found one at the base of volcano carried it up with my argentavis ( i am playing on mobile ) to the volcano to tame i used rare mushroom, biotoxin and tranq darts to tame a roo
Don't be like me.
I waste bolas for knocking him out and try to feed it berries.
It eat only plant X seeds and rare mushrooms.
Once tamed it eats berries.
Bola than shoot like a merderer
