Tips & Strategies
In PvE you can't carry untamed Dino's, which makes taming slightly more difficult. It's recommended to have a high level Dino, whether land or air, to help protect your KO'd saber.
Once you find a saber in which you want to tame, use a weak ranged weapon to lure it to attack you. I'm sure if you are taming you know regions where certain Dino's spawn. You will want to lure your saber to the most passive area as close to you as possible.
Once you have your saber in a region you feel safe in grab a rifle and aim for the head (with tranq darts of course) as kill rates with most all methods are too high to risk it.
You will NOT require any narcs as the sabers torpor decreases very slowly. You can use the calculators and timers on Here to let you know when to feed your saber.
Alt method:
Build a small 1 square hut that you can lure the saber inside of (I recommend at least stone), once the saber is KO inside close it up with the food in its inventory. ~Hawk
More Sabertooth Taming & KO Tips
I tamed a lvl 150 with cooked fish meat whereβs my medal
Hey if you want a op early game pack listen to this!
1. Find saber all alone (mountains and up north)
2. Knock it out with tranq arrows
3. Feed it prime, raw meat, etc.
4. When tamed find other Saber and repeat process
5. Get 4 or 7 sabers and watch them destroy the fricking world⦠You own the most cool pack of sabers
Tip: they get stuck easily so please be careful not to lose them <3
They have big teeth.
Getting one in mobile involves stealing a brontosaurus egg and run before it yeets you out of orbit.
Easily knocked out when you use a bloa. When stuck shoot in head while you can and itll go down quickly. Tranq darts make the process quicker, but arrows will do the job just fine. They can be picked up and dropped into safe taming cages by argies to make this easy tame all the more easy.
YOU CAN BOLA THEM
They're torpor is very high
If you are shooting it with tranq arrows or darts, make sure you wait a couple seconds after each shot or else it will die. I lost a level 120 not doing this
Try Traq Darts. They have very low health, so be conscious of that and use tranq darts OR monitor health while using arrows with a Magnifying glass to ensure you dont kill it. Alittle prime meat, and they are tamed quickly! Good for any cave you cant fit a Thylo!
When taming one be careful when you hit it because you can kill it on accident unless if you're using a slingshot
If you need to tame one follow my instructions carefully, first thing you wanna do is find a sabertooth, where it is by itself, you can either trap it or bola it, personally either is good but I usually bola them, then I get tranq arrows and shoot it in the head with it I got a low level one cause I was desperate for one and it only took 6-7 tranq arrows, you can use a bow or crossbow whatever you like, I do recommend crossbow though since itβs a little more effective. You also can use meat or prime meat I highly recommend prime, but if you donβt have that use regular meat. I highly suggest taking narcotics, just in case it wakes up, hope this was helpful.
