Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a sabertooth? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a sabertooth.
I tamed a lvl 150 with cooked fish meat where’s my medal
They have big teeth.
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
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.
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
My damn saber baby ate his dad... They were litterally standing next to eachother and when I left to tame a yuty and when I came back his dad was gone and the "baby" was standing in his place fully grown up.
YOU CAN BOLA THEM
They're torpor is very high
Use an argy to pick one up and drop it in a taming pen, you got yourself an easy tame. Good mount overall
Sabers are good beginners cave runners but unlike the dire wolf these guys have saddles which means if you have a good saddle caves are gonna be quite easy for you
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 it’s a little more effective. You also can use meat or prime meat I highly recommend prime, but if you don’t have that use regular meat. I highly suggest taking narcotics, just in case it wakes up, hope this was helpful.
People commenting be like :Bruh i just tamed a 450 on mobile without balm using cooked fish meat and narcoberbies where is my trophy
I tamed a level 150, on the most dangerous island, Dead Island.I should get a medal for taking one on that island.
When carrying a saber tooth with an argy be carful they attack you bird while flying
Let’s tame a sabertooth
First you will need a trap so use a 2x2 wooden box with wood doorways on all sides and then place wood ramps from the side you want the saber to come in from.
Lead it in to the trap and escape through the doorways.
Next you need to knock it out.
Use a slingshot if it’s under level 30 and use tranq arrows or darts if it’s a higher level then 30.
Now all you need to do is feed it.
Any type of raw meat will work just don’t use cooked meat and bring some narco berry’s or narcotics just in case.
Congratulations you have tamed a sabertooth now I will tell you about them they are really strong and good caving dinos and are one of the best chitin and keratin gathering dinos in the game and have a long jump and are really fast.
Thank you for your time I hope you have fun with your sabertooth.
After shooting the recommended amount of times wait.. the arrows take a few seconds to take affect, i killed several 100+ lvls before realizing this.
So if you start at west zone 3 and head north a ways there is this nice beach surrounded by a rocky jungle, you should probably build a base there, then if you have some bolas and some tranq stuff head north a tiny bit until you reach a big rock (I’ve nicknamed it “jungle rock”) and the tigers are usually their. Use your little brother as bait (or whatever works best for you) then bola and tranq! I found this useful and it is a great way to be really tough at a low level.
in the island you can find them up north by the volcano and snow area
Make sure other sabertooth aren’t around or any other dangerous Dino bola+ trank arrows easy tame they are great tame for starters they are my favorite tame I have
I tamed a level 150 with I think it was 5 bronto kibble, no narcotics or anything just the kibble. And it got to 225 with really god health and stamina stats.
