Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a sabertooth? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a sabertooth.
The rates listed are for the regular Saber, not the X variant. 11 shocking darts absolutely did not knock out a 140, it was closer to 20 darts.
If you trap with more than one bear trap don't forget to pick it up or you'll end up getting caught,letting it go, and it eats you.............
Couldn’t pick up with my argie in mobile?? Anyone know how to fix it or another way to trap one??

If there are sabertooth attacking other dinos wait for him/her to kill them and distract him far away from predators i had to distract mine away from 3 allosaurus
What you need to tame a sabertooth :
1 crossbow / bow
20 tranq arrows
1 bola
How to tame the sabertooth :
Step 1 :
Find a sabertooth, they are usely foundation in the mountainbike
Step 2 :
Bola it (it May be in a pack so be careful)
Step 3 : Tranq it with your Crossbow / Bow
Step 4 : put Meat in its invetory
+ High level saber tooth can be useful in certain caves
If it’s low lvl don’t use narcotics or anything it’s torpor goes down really slow
Really fast mount, can out run a high lvl direwolf easy! Great for luring Dinos into safe taming pens, if on pve and unable to pick them up using a bird.
Taming hack: put a whip in your last slot (it doubles as a piece of string) and use proximity chat to “pspsps” the saber tooth over to you. The cat might look like it’s going to try and rip your head off, but if you stand your ground and equip the whip, it’ll roll on its back and play with you. I haven’t actually tried this, but I’m certain it’ll work.
If you are trying to get one of these things Lvl. 100+ don't use a crossbow! I left it with 3.6 HP. I got so lucky.
So where you can find them, is in the mountains.
Make a taming pen->Take your argentavis->head on to the dead Island(carno island)->find a good level with spy glass->grab that sabertooth with your argentavis->bring saber back to your taming pen and drop'em!.->tranq 'em->
Feed 'em.
(If argentavis is on low of health,drop sabertooth on a safe place and kill some parasaur to regain health and stam)
Tip for developer if any..
Sabertooth needs a critical attack (35-45%+damage)after killing,for a period of time..[atleast they are saber toothed]
So taming a sabertooth is really easy like easer than taming a raptor so u can fine them on hill or mountains in the redwoods I recommend having a flying creature like a argie or somthing that can pick up a saber they spawn in packs so be careful anyways pick up the saber that u want with ur flyer it will only attack it 2 or 3 times then it will stop take it to ur base and tranq it with bow and tranq arrows that’s really all u need and then give it prime meat or normal meat and boom u should have a saber but u do need a saddle to ride it. P.S I recommend building a trap before u go out to find one I learned that the hard way😂
Don't try and Bola it still can bite you
Simply Aggro it, lurę it to the trap, it can be wooden,you will knock it out with tranq darts or arrows before it destroys the trap, grab some meat, narcos and it's yours, you have a chitin and hide tank. ;)
You can find them in antarctica
How to get very good first tame saber
Step 1 play ragnorok and spawn at Viking bay 1
Step 2 try get some levels very fast and unlock bola and tranq darts craft around 30 tranq darts and 3 bolas than find a small pack of sabers kill the bad ones and tame best one
I crafted a raft with metal window walls and 3 ramps on the outside foundation I sit on the edge of Carno island and pick off lone sabers
My worst enemy.Even with t e k tier I can't beat them because of.........................a........ler..........gies
Just use a bola and beat the frock out of them until they sleep give them raw meat or fish meat or cooked fish meat or cooked meat
Easy game on rag.
The first method is a bad one but works: grab turtle, let the sabertooth munch turtle, build trap during previous step , last step is tame
Next method, bola , knock out, tame
