Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rock drake? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rock drake.
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 can steal these eggs without any tames, just get a gen 2 tek suit, transfer to abb. go to the overlook and jump into the element water, let it charge your suit and then steal an egg. Charge your suit whenever you get low on power, tek suit back up to green zone/ wherever and you have yourself a drake, costs nothing at all and is super easy. Just remember to manage your element and you’re good. The suit doesn’t provide much protection though, so with a 450 hp char I was 2 shot, but you can use the tek leggings ability to fly away quickly.
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).
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.
Aberrant spinos are the easiest way to get eggs, also bring an extra hazard suit cause they lose durability quickly.
Rock Drake's are very tanky, if your gonna be using a Ravager be sure to avoid fighting them.
You need to run up your electric bill for all the damn air conditioners you need to hatch one of these Mfs
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
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.
To raise a baby i use maewing feeding option, it worked for me!!
People just use mushroom brew it will protect your creatures from radiation for 2 mins plus it's super easy to make.
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.
THE REAL ULTIMATE SURVIVOR’s GUIDE TO ROCK DRAKES ON FJORDER:
the other one was overly complicated
STEALING:
You need three things to steal the egg:
-Desmodus w/ saddle (They’re immune to radiation)
-Radiation suit (blue gems from the abberation cave at Vannaland S SE [the opening faces the ocean and is surrounded by purple crystals], condensed gas from the abberation cave at Vardiland S NW)
-Nightime
Once it’s night, go camouflage on the desmodus and fly into the rock drake neat cave located in the southern corner of Asgard’s blue forest. The desmodus will go undetected by rock drakes until you take an egg (you have to dismount to take the egg). Fly out without camouflage—saves stamina—you’ll be faster than the drakes—and voila you’ve got your egg.
HATCHING:
Just get two dimetrodons and pump melee into them (they’re portable air conditioners and more melee points makes them more effective). Pop your egg next to them and it should hatch in a little bit.
RAISING:
Baby rock drakes only eat nameless venom. Because nameless don’t spawn on Fjorder, to get the venom mine the orange rocks in the Vannaland S SE cave with a stone hatchet (trust me). While you’re there, go to the back of the cave (bring a decent tame or be sneaky, there’s ravagers and a karkinos) and mine 85 red gems (needed for the saddle).
That’s it :)
Managarmr should work on Aberration, if you know how to control it it makes your life just a bit easier
You can use dimetrodons to hatch eggs, level the dimetrodon’s melee for a stronger insulation effect.
