The on a rock and tranq trick works great.My brother tamed my first one for me(after she killed me twice).I valued her more than anything on ARK.At a start level 100 she took on everything.Upgrading weight and health only.I thought she was killed once but my brilliant brother suggested trying requesting her.Low and behold she came back and I named her Grace.After going through everything together I took her into the volcano cave.She died to 2 titanboas, 3 sarcos, and a centipede.I literally cry when I look at that artifact. Her gravestone will be placed in my beutiful garden and a memorial will be placed where my brother first tamed her.Thank you.
