Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a ravager? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ravager.
Wanna tame a ravager? I might have some tips that could help! Step one before going out to tame one it’s best to prepare! This is completely up to you what to bring! The ravager very obviously is a carnivore, So it’s best to pack prime or mutton! (Kibble works too!) Ravagers are deadly when you get overwhelmed, the best way to go about this relatively safely is to eithor net them, or grapple ( I recommend shooting a grapple at your base and getting used to the buttons before you go!) I recommend bringing 1/2 flak armor sets (the shield is optional) make sure to pack at least 150 narcotics or more! I recommend bringing 20 tranq darts, a longneck rifle, also consider bringing medical brews! To knock them out is relatively simple here’s some facts that may help; they commonly spawn in pack of 3, when they finish killing something they split up and walk a few feet away before coming back, they will do a gnash attack regardless of whether the alpha is there or not, they are moderately fast, average speed is about 3/9 faster than u with base stats (this was a estimation) Taming is similar to a rapter I’m pretty sure other than the kibble, feed narcotics every 10 to 25 seconds and eventually! You have your self a Savage nugget with legs and jaws with oversized teeth and claws! What for? Well here’s some uses u might want to consider! Transport, with a mount like this I doubt anyone will mess with you, they can carry a small amount of goods! They are also good cave mounts because they can jump, and function in tight spaces, they also do a decent amount of dmg per bite! Overall a good option of transport in aberration, or any map really! You might want to consider taming one! Good luck, happy taming, and take care! :D
They take a lot of narcotic arrows to put down have at least two bolas at the ready you need about 15 narc arrows to the head for a level 5
Bring a megalosaurus and nab the alpha then run off, you can set in trap to knock out or have a tribe mate shoot narcs while holding. Up this to save lives
All y’all have to do is bola them and Tranq them until knocked out. It is not hard tbh
Have a bunch of tranq darts and bolo it.
It’s weird how cooked meat tames faster than raw! Good to know!
They are now tameable on lost island
So apparently everyone here freaks out about how hard it is to tame them and they're like you need a megalosaur and blah blah blah. No. Actually I reccomend that you have a few bolas and a crossbow. Find a pack and unless you intend to tame them all use the crossbow to kill the ones you dont want from a ledge. Then bola the ones intended to be tamed and knockout. I reccomend only ever taming one at a time unless you have a trap. For each ravager you'll never need more than 25 tranq arrows on a primitive crossbow. Taming food is easy. Just kill a nearby ovis. Hope this helps.

If you throw the bola and it hits its mouth, it breaks and does nothing.
If you use mutton, make sure you cook it. Your ravenger will tame faster.
If you knock out a ravager and it goes underwater and starts drowning, you can save it if you have a lasso and equus you can lasso it out of the water. This might work for other creatures around this size as well and I hope this helps.
One tips : bring many bolas as you can and use sheep meat its op 👌🏻🐑
Hey just thought of a small trap that a midrange level person could make you have a one by one of stone but instead of walls you have doorframes and one side is double doors thats how you get them in and out and you have a bear trap in the middle you trap it then run over and shut the double doors (i dont know if this is new or can help someone but if it can that would make my day.)
In order to tame a ravager I recommend building a large trap or finding somewhere high and hitting them with tranq ammo. They are fast, pack hunters that cause the gnashing effect, making them effectively aberrant Thylacoleos in a way just hunting In packs and instead of climbing vertical surfaces climbing zip lines. Once tamed the are excellent traversing and combat tames. Next I will do one of the following: enforcer, gacha, snow owl, managarmr, velonasaur
Build a 2x2 pen with door frames 2 high and a ramp. Lead an entire pack into the trap and knock them all out at once and make sure you have at least 35-40 cooked lamb chops for them all.
Make sure you have a frind or have a lot of bolas or you will die
Change my mind bring bolas no mater what
Bola them first and tranq dart them, anything above lvl 35 will take more than 1 bola lvl 95 and up is going to a struggle if you’ve just spawned in, but great travel mount and great in combat just pump health and melee, stam doesn’t drop that much, similar to a thyla
When taming their food has to go down a huge amount before eating
These guys are stupid easy to tame on Crystal Isles. Pick it up with an Argee and yeet it into a taming pen. Knock it out however you prefer and give it some mutton. Bada bing, bada boom, Bob's your uncle.
I tamed mine with stone tools and a bow with 6 narc arrows by letting it grab me, hitting it with a bola, and then a shmacked it with a club till it broke free and killed me, literally did this twice and then the third time I was used my arrows and knocked it out. Level 50 surprisingly easy and extremely fun
