Probably my favorite animal ever, this thing is amazing. It can fly you like a jet pack, and glide like a glide suit. Never have to worry about fall damage again, it’s like being an air bender. Taming things has never been easier, and getting killed is almost an afterthought. It eats chitin, which is easy to get, and you never have to worry about piranhas, dilos, or bugs again.
Do not have chitin armor on, or it’ll attack you because it thinks your a REAL bug. Ooh! A bug!
Dont be near other tames or else it will aggro. Just cryo or leave your other tames a little ways off and walk/crouch near them with chitin in your last slot of the hotbar. They will all land near you and follow you for awhile. Then you can feed them
Best location is at 60-50, find the river and there will be a lot of them and most of all the spot is safe
Was looking for something brightly colored about the size of a micro raptor then discovered that they’re actually the size of a meganeura if you’re looking for them run around til you notice little creatures about the size of meganeura flying around very fast high in the sky then put chitin in your last slot and wait they will come to you
Much easier to tame in the desert than in the jungle (a lot easier to see/keep track of it)
It’s actually pretty easy taming these
1. put chitin in your last item slot and find a sinamocrops
2. wait until hearts pop up above its head and let it come to you ( LET IT APROACH YOU)
3. feed it and then put it on your taming tracker so that you don’t lose it
4. keep feeding it
Wait till it lands and use standing torches and a sign to Circle it and it can’t fly away simple and cheap
They die fast without food!! Seriously 3 sinos dead before I got back to my base.
These guys once tamed will only eat Chitin! Do not give them any berries or meat they won't eat them!
Alright guys heres a really easy way of taming these little guys, attract one usually helps If you crouch and wait once qet it's attention feed it chitin and cage it immediately after wait 30 secs and lay down so you don't scare it, pick up cage and it'll come back to you immediately and repeat.
Set a cage on the beach get in and keep the door open wait in crouch mode and one will come make sure when u feed him his first bite u shut the door. You can tame multibles this way...Got a lvl140 and a lvl95 yesterday this way after four hrs chasing 4 dif ones
Make sure not to wear chitin armor or they wont stop attacking you and you will never get them yo let you feed them.
Increasing melee damage will affect the power of the scream. Use the scream to kill meganeura, titanomyrma soldiers, and even drone bees while gathering honey.
Don't forget to turn auto-scream off while gathering poly from penguins, it will scare and scatter them
You need to wait for it to come to you and it takes forever
Be careful when taking it not to run towards it too much and instead try and let it come to you. Nooblets did a very good tutorial on taming them.
With the super spy glass it says it take sregular kibble is this true?
