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

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.

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.

So I just meet this dude punch him I fall asleep he runs as far away from me as he can

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

U can hit them with a club early game without getting hit even once, u just have to time it right, take care not to try it if there are more than 2 tho... Rotten Flesh works way better and can tame 'em within 5 mins

Bola it, shoot it in the head with tranq darts, feed it spoiled meat! A very effective and easy tame. Be careful though, they're hard to see in grassy areas. I was taming a sabertooth once when it came up out of nowhere, I went unconscious before I could even run away. It took me 5 tries to get my stuff back from my dead body because the scorpian was always there. In the end, surpinsgly, my sabertooth survived the taming process and I ended up taming the scorpian right after!

I hit a a scorpion with a tranq and like two seconds later he on the ground

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

I tamed my eerie male scorpion on ark mobile during the eerie server event inside the poison cave. It was the best choice I ever made as he is now guarding my hatchery.

On mobile I recommend the following for stats if you plan to use a scorpion as a guard.

Speed is good at 230%
Melee at about 500% (just to keep those nasty wild Dinos spawning in your base in line)
Health about 5k (scorpions can be very easily killed if they don’t have good health in them.)

If you have an enclosed base, put a couple of these with high health inside on aggressive to give a raiders a particularly nasty surprise.

Upgrade melee for more torpity per hit

If you raise your fortitude it won't ko you with 1 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

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.

Get a scorpion, use that scorpion to tame other scorpions. Get 5-8 scorpions,set to attack target, punch T-Rex,Easy T-Rex tame

U should be able to breed them

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

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.
