Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rock drake? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rock drake.
EDIT : Venom gives 400 food, has 5h spoil in preserving bin and 2h in dino. Drake will eat at 10-18% of max food (for its first eat). Algorithm: (max food) × .10 or .18 = (first eat). Drake below adolescent drain 1 food per 11 seconds. Drake adolescent or above drain 1 food per 22 seconds. Algorithm: (current food) x (seconds) = (time until depleted).
Aberrant spinos are the easiest way to get eggs, also bring an extra hazard suit cause they lose durability quickly.
My way of getting eggs on Fjordur is using an Andrew and killing all the drakes or avoid them walk right next to the nest dismount grab egg get back of and if you are quick enough you will not take Radiation damage you will start to get it but not fully get it. Hope this helps P.S These are the most awesome Dinos in Ark besides Wyverns, Magmasaurs, Managarmr, and Deinonychus,

You can use egg incubators instead of a billion air cons, though the preferred temperature of the rock drake eggs are -85.0, you can adjust the temperature of it by holding for options and going to temperature control.
Rock Drake's are very tanky, if your gonna be using a Ravager be sure to avoid fighting them.
I used around 6 to 10 dimetrodons in a house for incubation.
Doesn’t matter how many you use, just make sure that the insulation in the room is 2100 or better.
To check the insulation in the room, just take off all your clothes and open up your inventory screen…. It’s in the center console where it displays time, day, amount of tames and temperature… It probably says insulation count under temperature.
You need to run up your electric bill for all the damn air conditioners you need to hatch one of these Mfs
Managarmr should work on Aberration, if you know how to control it it makes your life just a bit easier
Ok so I have a lot of drakes and I know how to raise them easily.
If your on aberration:
if you have an adult drake, reaper, or megalosaurus and hazmat go into the blue zone and head for the purple forest area that’s where I normally get nameless venom. When you find them start killing them but always leave 1 left to be the orange leader guy. Then it will spawn more nameless and you can kill them down to 1 again if you have a nameless trap then get 1 in that and kill the rest.
On any other map:
You will need a snow owl or a daedon and heal it once it is low go I recommend venom raising rather than this because you might have to watch it most of the time.
Once adult:
Drakes are awesome and all that but here’s some things I like to do with them
1. So with good stamina drake you can glide around for ages and look for things to tame
2. I have a lvl 395 drake and he’s my favorite drake and has some nice stats and I use him to well get more nameless venom lol
3. Scare friends, invisibility for the win! Fly invisible into a friends base after having a friend open up. It could scare them but I like that because it’s a ragnarark server
I play on switch so I hope this helps idk if it’s different on other platforms.

For Fjordur players: These are found in Asgard (middle portal) and in a cave of radiation (you will need a hazard suit). To get an egg without being touch by any rock drakes, use a desmodus (immune to radiation). Enter the cave at night and use invisibility. Find the egg you want then grab it quickly, hop straight back onto the desmodus and get away from the floor and walls and go straight for the exit. Extremely effective.
Also you can get nameless venom in the aberration cave (coordinates= 57.2 lat, 85.1 lon). Desmodus is also effective here. Hope this helps.
People just use mushroom brew it will protect your creatures from radiation for 2 mins plus it's super easy to make.
To raise a baby i use maewing feeding option, it worked for me!!
Is you want to tame a rock drake on fjourdur then you will need 2 people so tame a gallimimus with good health stamina and weight then head over to the rock drake den and run in with the galli your friend should get of and get the egg before running for your lives
This is the BEST WAY TO GET AS MANY EGGS AS YOU WANT in literally less than 5 minutes without needing to fight any rock drake.
1- get a desmodus
2- craft a hazmat suit
3- go to the cave and go invisible
4- land in the nest, grab the egg and go out
5- Voilà, here is your free rock drake egg
Bruh I went max difficulty and I keep finding lvl 190 and 180 eggs
Lowkey how long does food last for these mofo when rasing
Here is one of my favorite ways to get my first rock drake egg. In the blue zone there is an area where the big metal spine goes down to the element lakes. Equip a glide suite and glide down. Have a karkanos in a cryo pod and throw it out. There is a drake nest right there to you go over and grab some eggs. When your ready to head up, cryo the crab and use climbing pics to get to the top. In cryo crab and enjoy the Drake.
Ps. Once you have a drake, you just glide down the pit with it and climb up it with it. It’s a lot easier that way.
They can only be tamed via raising them from eggs, like wyverns. They need Nameless Venom as babies, they won’t eat anything else. Their eggs are found in a certain section of the Element Chamber.
Hatched this guy in Small ice Cave on Rag still took 17 air conditioners... Bastards.
Use a meglocouras to get to the rock drake nest as they are buffed so it can get in and out but the only trouble for me is I can't hatch rock drake egg and I even have 12 aircons
