Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a ravager? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ravager.
You can pick these up with argentavis. Easy tame with harpoon launched net projectile and cooked lamb chops on lost island map.
Needed more cooked lamb chops for a lvl 90 between 12-14 on 1x
I was able to take down a 135 ravager with 21 tranq darts
Build a stone dino pen using fence foundations, door frames , dino gate. Then surround the outsides with stone pillars which you then use to place ceilings across the roof of the pen effectively beating the ravagers leap without the need to bola. Lure them in and lock the door behind them. Ive knocked out max level ravagers without issue using this method.
Most useful and easest tame lol their kibble is just cooked mutton and basically sheep for the mutton is everywhere you go (ravagers and sheep spawn in the same areas)
Build a 4x4 pen 4 walls high (with doorways) build a ramp on one side and get a pack to agro on you. Have them chase you into the trap and run out the doorway. They take quite a bit of tranqs to knock out, but if you use cooked mutton they require no narcotics even for a 150.
A compound bow with tranq arrows can do wonders, but I'd still have a bola or two at the ready. I'd also have a dino, preferably a high damage raptor or scorpion for crowd control, just in case a pack shows up
If your taming with mutton chops the food needs to go down about 108 before they will eat one.
Wait a little longer while starving. I had to wait and extra 20mins while taking a 130 last night.
Hold it in the mouth of a megalosaurus while a tribe mate shoots it with tranqs.
If you bola them and stick a glow stick on them, you won’t accidentally lose it even at night! You can also do this once they’re knocked out so you won’t forget where they are!
Easiest way to tame. Bola them then shoot the lower level ones and tranq the highest level. Make sure you are ready with bolas because they breaks them easy lol
I recommend taming multiple due to the pack affect it gains when in a group.
Build a 3 by 3 foundation trap, use stone foundations then go around the whole thing with stone door frames make them two high and then put ramps all around the trap, lead them in and once they go in they cant get back out
At high levels they can take quite a few tranq arrows to knock these bad bois out. And when you bola them they tend to run away right after. So what you do is make a stone dino gate, stone window walls, stone ceilings and make a trap house. Throw a small metal trap in, run into a group, run into the cage with what one you want, it gets stuck, and boom. Ezpz
They usually spawn in the same areas as Sheep, so have mutton on hand before you KO them.
Do not skimp out with resources
BEWARE! I was crossbow taming a Ravager (with bola) in the aberration trench on Valguero and it just dissolved into space it may be my server but I would recommend being CAREFUL WHEN TAMING
Make a taming pen with a ramp and lure them into it. Make sure you have tons of narco arrows and multiple crossbows particularly if there are high-level ones. À 115 took me nearly 50 arrows.
Cooked mutton tames them the best.
Easiest way is to make a ramp trap to get the whole pack trapped. Then just kill the ones you don't wanna tame.
