Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a procoptodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a procoptodon.
Set up a pen, eat a rare flower it will agro, run in pen, it will stop agroing after a few then go in and knock it out with darts it whatever. So easy.
With the new flyer nerf I've found the procoptodon to be the safest and fastest ways around the map if movement speed is lvld.. I've got movement speed at 174 and can smoke any wild dinos including wyverns.. Keep an eye on fall damage while jumping
Use a Equus and a lasso to lasso it and take it to a pen to traq it.
Where: I've found quite a few in the red woods at the base of metal mountain. You just have to look they are easy to miss.
What: you'll need some mushrooms for taming food and some narcotics bring the quantity accordingly.
When: morning is easiest to spot them. Any closer to night and they can dissappear pretty quick if you don't get them down right away.
How: you can build a 1 by 1 structure around them to keep them in place, corner them in the rocks in the mountains or (like I did) use a scorpion to stop them in thier tracks (easiest way for fast dinos since I don't really build traps).
These guys seem to be delicious because every predator wants them so be sure to protect. (Usually keep a couple dinos to call in for sentry duty)
Enjoy your tame!
If you find this guy, TRAP. IT. You will loose it if you shoot it in the wild, this guy is FAST and will have no problem running away from you.
PRIMITIVE PLUS: mushrooms will give better taming effectiveness over crops, but there are fresh crops that will tame it much faster:
- Spinach, Sorghum, Rice, Coffee, Sugar Cane, Tea, Tobacco and Lettuce.
To use the taming calculator for prim+ crops use the following settings: 0.89 Taming Multiplier, 2.5 Consumption Multiplier, and the Plant Species X Seed rates.
If raising young babies the following crops give the most heath: tomatoes then cashews.
Argy trap
Hear me out you don't always need rare flowers although they do greatly help, if your a god at speed building you can just build an Argy trap around them. Otherwise Argy trap then rare flower into said trap.
Can be picked up by an argentavis on ark mobile in a solo world!
For every dino.....get the torpor more than half...but dont knock it out..after that sleep for 7hours..and walla food 0.0%😁😁🤜🤛
These things are very easy to knock out. Just bola it and then use tranq darts to knock it out, tranq arrows work too. WARNING! They eat Rare mushrooms and/or Plant Species X seeds so gather up a bunch and you'll be set.
Recommend using bolas to trap it, then use tranq darts or arrows. Be sure to keep it trapped, good luck catching it if it gets loose
Gets targeted by anything. Make sure you get a box or spikes around it once it's down so it doesn't get ate by a scorpion.
I was trying to tame one with berries, but then I looked at dododex and I saw how to tame it. Welp. You need plant species something to tame it. And I did not know how to get them at the time, so. Welp. Just welp.
In Mobile, i picked one up using my Argy and dropped him in a cage and tried the bear trap method which failed by the way, but nothing but shocking darts cant fix, it was a lvl 35 and i knocked it out after 5-6 hits, feeding it with rare mushrooms and boom Baby Roger is Tamed..Up Up Up
Use net projectile and use billboards to trap it, tranq it out, and rare mushroom to tame. Now go genesis and yeet a ez magma egg
When knocked out steer clear of its legs I got stuck on them and glitched myself dead.
You can’t pick on baby’s in them.
Trap it in a corner it CANT get out of then you got an easy tame
Solo regular settings.
They get stuck in the cactus and cannot move. Use a morellatops to get rare mushrooms from ground cover.

Make word billboards and place one over the top it then place some around it to stop it from moving then you got your self a easy tame
