Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rock drake? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rock drake.
Don't forget nameless venom I also like many others made that mistake
Just like wyverns, rock Drakes can’t be tamed So you need to steal their eggs. Just as risky though.
When you enter the trench, you need a hazard suit and if the nameless are too annoying, get a light pet. Also, when you see a drake, kill it if you can. The nests are in the yellow lighted area and the eggs spawn in the cliffs. When you get the egg, climb out of there and run back to the portal. Then, go to the nearest obelisk at 20 Lat, 80 Long
If You go to the deepest spot of the map were there is purpul crystals and Water as far down as You can You Will se like yellow holes big holes in the Stone Walls and don't bring glide suit and climb pick You Will die trust me.
Tame an megalosaurus whit 130 level or higher and just pump meele and health and it Will make the rock drakes and the animals down there look like cats don't forget to get 1 extra radiation armor set and an fully Charged bulldog whit 600-1000 chargé of light Good Luck and the rock drakes babies eat Nameless venom just use the mega to kill them GL
From baby to adolescent (1-50%) they lose 1 food every ~10 seconds not 15. From 50%-100% they lose 1 food every ~45 seconds. To calculate use this formula (food) x (seconds) ÷ 60 ÷ 60 = (time) for example : the rock drake I have has 4800 food 1070/4800 is what it is at and it is below 50% growth. The formula would then be 1070 x 10 ÷ 60 ÷ 60 = 2.972222222222222. This means that I have almost 3 hours before fully depleted.
Full Raising babys without Nameless Venom with the Cryo Hospital; especially during double rates. It refills the food. More details at tips on „Cryo Hospital“ happy love Ascended ✌️
People always say you need a tame that is invincible to radioactivity but in ASA you can just use the gather all the mushrooms and sap and throw it in a cooking pot to create the mushrooms broth or whatever that grant 15 min immunity. For those who have bobs tall tales just us a cosmo. Now go tame yourself everyone’s favorite petafile
So after some testing and calculations, I think I figured out the food depletion times.
At the 'baby' stage(0%-9.9% maturity), the food goes down one point every ≈ 11.5secs ±0.1secs. So for example, 2000food × 11.5secs = 23,000secs ÷ 60 = 383.33mins ÷ 60 ≈ 6.38hrs.
At the 'juvenile' stage(10%-49.9% maturity), the food goes down one point every ≈ 23secs ±0.1secs. So 2000food ≈ 12.7hrs.
At the 'adolescent' stage(50%-100% maturity), the food goes down one point every ≈ 32secs ±0.1secs. So 2000food ≈ 17.7hrs. This is until fully mature.
(I did not check if the depletion time is different during 50%-75% maturity vs. 75%-100% maturity. I'll update this if there is a difference)
So with this you can figure out how long you can leave the rock drakes for and if you pair this with the maturity calculator, you can figure out how much food you need till full maturity.
Disclaimer: I ran a couple few several multiple tests to the best of my abilities and i thought I'd share it since I'm raising 29 rock drakes at different stages at the same time. However, a 0.1sec discrepancy can make a difference.
So when calculating and setting your timer, give yourself 1-2hrs of time before the food runs out so you can acquire nameless venom, maybe 3-4hrs if you're raising 29 rock drakes at the same time >.<
For hatching In aberration I had two high melee otters in a room with 7 acs. It worked.

Use egg incubator is better cuz is cheaper,can hatch multiple at once,can change temp to the preference of the egg
I went to the cave with a sadled adruw and killed every rock drake then I picked up quiqly the eggs before the radiation effect
It worked prety well
(Sorry for bad spelling)
If you have enough dimetrondons you can hatch the egg
When u have these guys hatched and ur short on nameless venom, just put the nameless venom that u do have into the inventory of the drakes u would like to stay alive, then gather all ur rock drakes around a snow owl that u may or may not have and just constantly use the snow owls heal ability till the drakes are fully grown and can eat meat
If your here you want a rockdrake if you want a rockdrake most peaple use megalosaurus but you need a hella mutated megalo I say just breed 2 high lvl ravengers and take 1 down but lvl speed and stamina your welcome
Any Rock Drakes in the area will aggro you if you pick up a egg, or if you swap a rockdrake egg between you and you tame's inventory. Swapped an egg from my Inventory to my rex's inventory, and the drakes all swarmed me. Great if you want to lure in the drakes so you can clear them all out before grabbing the rest of the eggs.
These thinks can survive 8 hours with 3100 food
Make sure the eggs aren’t spoiled before you pick them up
For people that dont know flyers and abbarant creatures are not allowed on ab and you want to have a good spino lvl 75 and up then there are many great tutorials of the path on youtube after all that make sure you are ready to haul ass outta there because every rock drake will be after you when you grab the egg so maybe a fast pocket dino would be good after getting the egg to your base it will need to be extra Cold get aircons or any substitutes then hatch it and boom you have yourself a nice rockdrakee
Summontamed rockdrake_character_bp_c if your lazy
If you spawn high level rock drakes on ab on the rock drake egg place they lay eggs. I’ve gotten like ten level 500 eggs and I’ve been doing it for only 5 minutes
