Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a snow owl? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a snow owl.
Make argy trap with a roof. Aggro it and pull it away from wilds. They lose aggro FAST. Dismount n walk it into trap. KO and feed. Easiest tame ever
Spino kibble for this one goes pretty well about 4-5 for lvl 100
If you trap one and starve it for like 5 min and throw some mutton on there you have a super quick tame. Did this with a 125 took me like ten minutes max.
Freezes and heals you and Dino's nearby. Also dives like a Griffin with heat vision.
Suggest you just make a birdcage trap and bring 30-50 tranq arrows.
You can lure the snow owl with a tanky argent (2000-4000 health will do the trick) and proceed pelting it with tranq arrows once you got it in. Just be quick!
You usually won't have to bring loads of narcotics as they tame up quickly! Just keep a eye on torpor.
I don‘t know if i just keep having bad luck with knocking out these guys. I tried twice and both times the unconscious owls glitched below the map, and I couldn’t access their inventory. So, my advice is to net & knock them out on even ground and not on the side of a hill…
Make sure to either trap an owl or tranq it in an open field because these things, if you can even catch it when it's torpor is high, will almost all of the time fly to the river in the snow dome and get stuck in one of the cliffs on the rivers sides. Every single one I've tried to tame has drowned.
Kill what ever its attacking (most of the time it attacks things) then fly up to it with a pteranodon eat a rare flower then go to a gate way trap jump off and run away in a straight line (their turning circle is very bad) then run back to trap when its finished turning
Don't worry about food... Tamed 125 with raw meat in like half hour without giving extra narcs
The snow owl has a surprisingly small body and can fit through much smaller gaps than the argentavis. It's great for trapping other flyers and healing stuff you're trying to tame.
A decent amount of these guys actually spawn at 20 lat. 58 long. on Fjordur, I was just exploring and I found a ton of them. I thought they were argys at first because it’s kinda a strange area. Anyway, good luck taming!
Don't know if anyone has said. But in maps that have these and the net projectiles in use the and then argue trap over them while they are down and just shot from then on.
Never had one untill now 02/2022. Gonna be my best friend!
Don’t use feeding troughs when raising these unless using a tek trough because cooked meat in the owls inventory has the same spoil time it was when you put it in a fridge
Best to tame on gen two! Find one that’s aggroed on a different animal and build an argy trap. You can just fly over to it and dash to the trap so you don’t die. Gen 2 is the best for taming dinos
Here’s a good trap look up Kaizer from Crete snow owl trap it’s super cheap and easy it took my 5 minutes to get the resources and build it
Trust me I tamed two that way
They commonly get distracted and try to kill herds of mammoths and Direwolves, ultimately failing majority of the time, if your trying to tame one do your best to clear all creatures on the area or lure the owl to a secure location
Wont do thermo view if your map is open, could not figure it out at first!
A very good trapping and taming bird,if you get your tame in to a trap you can freeze it and have a few seconds to get out and close the door.aswell as if your tame is about to die you can heal it,EVEN IF ITS STILL WILD!!!!!
When raising have plenty of raw meat as it eats one meat every 6-7 seconds! 5 hour baby stage. It's Worth taming or raising!
All I did to tame an R-Snow Owl is I went up to it and shot a net to hold it. Then I used a tranq dart to knock it out. Fed it raw meat and 5 minutes later....got one.
