Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a rock drake? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rock drake.
It's quite easy if you know how to do it. First, get a decent megalosaurus or spino (I used a wild tamed meg with 382% damage), you can easily get to the trench from the element falls. Then, pick ONE egg that you are targeting. Kill the rock drakes around it. Make Zipline paths to that one nest and grab the egg. Zipline back to your mount and run. If a rock drake attacks you before you are on the zipline, use an apprentice or higher shotgun to kill it. Good luck survivor! Enjoy your rock drake!
Me and my group of three friends will be attempting to steal three eggs from these fellows using 6 spinos ( 4 are fully imprinted) 3 hazard suits a riot shield each and 10 climbing picks. And obviously wing suits
Wish us luck!

Use the andrewsarchus to get the egg the (turret) saddle protects you from any radiation so you dont need a hazard suit!!!
The easiest way to get and egg is to find someone taking a basilisk.
The megalosaurus is good for raiding the rock drake trench but it cant jump up the ledges. The spino is better than the mega in every way. The karkinos is a great choice it can jump over the ledges but you will get stuck in mid air and the karkinos cant attack when in mid air, bring a shotgun if using a crab, it will also take forever for you to get back up. The reaper is the best choice in aberration strong as the spino but can jump like karkinos. The absolute best choice is the tek hover skiff.
If you have the ability to go to genesis I highly recommend you tame a bloodstalkers for one of these litteraly 5 minutes ago I got my first Drake egg with a bloodstalke and it was lvl 185. Keep in mind it was official small tribes
I got an egg without a hazmat suit. As soon as u get to there chamber there’s a nest that usually has an egg in it directly to the right then get out.
As of the 10/27 update, RockDrake breeding is vanilla setting for console players.
Best method for stealing eggs: Tame 2 megalosaurus (opposite gender) and breed them. Your imprinted baby will be the one you ride on. Then, you take your imprinted megalo and the opposite gender for mate boost. Btw each megalo should have at least 14k hp and 320 melee. Use this method for easy first drake.
They are found on fjodur in Asgard if you don’t know how to get go on to outbid and search up “teachersgametoo” and scroll down and look for island tour it shows you where the cave/teleporter
In theory a maewing could raise these.
Use climbing pick's to climb up to a nest and make sure that there are no Drake's then take the egg and glide out on a wingsuit. You can out-glide a Drake.Stay clear of the water and a have a shoulder pet to stop the Nameless. Have a hazard suit on and you need like 20 air conditioning units to make it hatch. Feed it Nameless venom to raise.
8 air conditioners 5 otters, don't forget otters hatch eggs. Otters cheaper then A/C.
Just spawn a couple in in the aberration zone on crystal isles and the eggs will appear in the nests. Bring it up with a deodon so you don’t need nameless venom. This also mean you can tame a basilisk
Considering wyvern ate Breedlove now these should be to
In one of the explorer notes of Mei Yin, she wrote that she tamed one of these guys with KO method using tranq arrows
I used a very effective method but it sounds like a joke, but it works fine: use a gasbag, 20-30 vegatible cakes for gasbag healing and like 10-15 stacks berries for gasbag food and at least 2 hazard suits. You can easily fly down to the spots where the nests are, then fly to the nests, steal the eggs, fly to the entrance of the complex and repeat it. Important: if you want to play safe, then only take the nests on the highest spots, because if you go for the lower spots, it can happen, that an army of drakes stuck you into a nest and your gasbag and you will die. If the cakes are empty, you have to go back to the "non radiation zone", cause after a time without healing the radiation is too much dmg for the gasbag. But this method only works fine, if you a) can control the gasbag and b) the gasbag should have at least 6-10k hp, 2-2,5k stamina and over 100k oxygen. And don't forget to regain stamina and gas every time.
Best Dino in the game idc what you say they are so fun to use and have a amazing look hope to see them in ark 2
For 20% incubation boost the exact ideal temp is -85°C.
It’s not the best, but i once used a bloodstalker with that mushroom stew and got in and out quick
