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

Bola only works if you hit it in the legs witch may be hard if they are coming after you and rotten meet works much better than kibble tame should not take narcotics if you use rotten meat

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.

Once I found one near the snow biome i was soooo lucky I made it out alive.

I keep running into these things in caves and if it weren’t for my wood shield I wouldn’t have escaped in time before the venom kicked in.

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.)

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

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

Upgrade melee for more torpity per hit

U should be able to breed them

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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