I don't know why the guy saying they're not affected by Bolas is at the top. I just hit a level 5 wild in the mountain area with a bola right in the legs and it froze in place perfectly, no issues. BOLAS WORK, BUT YOU HAVE TO HIT THE LEGS, THE THIN SKITTERY EASY TO MISS LEGS.

They are no longer affected by bola. Upvot so dododex corrects it

Kibble is not as effective as rotten meat vote up so dodex fixes this.

Hint: Don't jump and get stuck between their claws when they are knocked out, then you can't move. I learned that from experience.

Took way less time and rotten meat to tame than the app said

You should def be able to "milk" a scorp for narcotics

U should be able to breed them

Best bet is to Bola the scorpion then shoot with tranq arrows. Best of luck, have fun 😊

They're very slow so it's easy to kill them with a bow. You can also stab them with a pike or a spear while walking backwards without getting hit.

When I was a fresh noob to ark I'd tame 3 scorps. I'd ride one and have the other 2 set to follow and there wasn't anything that could stop us

Single stack meat in your inventory to get the spoiled meat to tame faster.

Make sure you don’t get hurt by it, it could knock you down

The higher the melee damage, the higher the torpor. Also upgrade movement speed so it can close the gap

Do not pet a snip snap dog. It will snip snap. A lot.

Scorpions make a great early seafaring mount if you hold the jump key ( space bar by default) a scorpion will float above the water allowing you to get past most Puranas without being attacked, this can be extremely useful for crossing dangerous rivers or even oceans.

If you're trying to work your way up the kibble tree these guys are a fast tame and produce medium eggs perfect for regular kibble so I would recommend to tame using spoiled meat and farm kibble

Easy to find on carno island. Just pick one up with an argy and drop it into a taming pen and you're set

Very effective as a battle mount/travelling companion. I mostly play on single player so an effective companion is vital. I tamed my Kopiona when she was level 32...she's at 62 now with 200% melee damage, over 800 health and quite a few surprising kills notched into her tail.

Some noteworthy accomplishments (without my assistance) are:

-1 Carno killed (lvl 30)
-1 Spino (lvls 3)
-1 pack of 4 Raptors (lvls 36, 24, 18, and 50)
-Survived a Rex attack (lvl 24) after I had died with minimal health loss.

Coupled with its torpor inducing attacks, it's also great as a taming mount.

Carry stimberries while taming in case you get hit so you don't get knocked out

For most it only uses like 5 darts and they are a great tame for eggs, knocking out future tames, and have great damage
