Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a terror bird? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a terror bird.
By far on the list of the most unappreciated mounts. The terror bird may be a costly tame but it's a raptor on speed. It has excellent stamina and mobility, making it a good scout and travel mount.
To the person who wants to make a Yoshi: I bred 2 brown and cream birds and ended up with a mutation in a deep teal green from my 5th egg while trying for a secondary male breeder.. Wish I could post a pic. I will paint a saddle red and name her first male offspring Yoshi in your honor!
This is what happens when a dodo jacks up on steroids
It's like if a Dodo and a Raptor had a kid on crack. The Terror bird is extremely fast and it can outrun almost anything. Meaning even though it's weak it still makes for a great mount. Especially in redwoods:
"Oh noo an alpha Carno!..SIKE "- Proceeds to jump of a cliff.
Their big downside is very low weight but that can be solved by leveling.
They are also very easy to tame:
- Argy + trap
- Bola + [knockout method]
They're also very good for the lava cave because of their gliding ability.
Recap:
-Easy to tame(bola+tranqs)
-fast(as fu- boii)
-gliding(lil wings go wee)
Definitely would recommend for anyone living or traveling through redwoods, anyone wanting a scout, or anyone who's having trouble with some caves.
To the guy who said load it’s inventory with junk, don’t, the junk will disappear when it wakes up
Pro tip: use bio toxin for tames as it is more potent or just as potent as narcotics. It is easy to get them because all you need to do is to kill cnaidras and harvest them. I am not aware if it damages them or not for PC if you feed it to ko'd tames but as of now I have no tames dead from bio toxin on mobile.
The most important thing to know about this bird is that it's eggs are used for rhino kibble. Thank me later. Rhinos are OP
TORPOR DRAINS HELLA FAST
BEWARE!
Bulbdog lord, archy lord, DODO LORD. A dodo’s revenge. Don’t deny how you wiped them off the beach. I have an army of these and dodos. I maxed out health and damage for the dodo and damage and speed for the terrors, it is a terror. I am here. I am always here. And you are a suspect. You kill a dodo? I kill your progress and feed it to the ocean. You have been warned
Bola, tranq, and make sure you have plenty of meat and narcs.
Torpor drains fast so while they're asleep fill their inventory up with tons of junk so they cant run away once woken up
Terror birds can fit through double doorframes and regular doorframes, use bolas or bear traps for easy taming.
1 craft 20 bola
2 craft 100 Iraq arrows
3 shot it in the head
4 feed it meat
5 enjoy the terror bird
Use the kaprosuchus and grab the bird. Then use your crossbow while mounted to k.o it, this allows you to tranq it in your own base for an easy tame.
Annoying dodo on steroids.
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.
DO NOT USE A SLINGSHOT.
YOU WILL KILL IT AND ALL OF THAT HARD WORK WILL BE LOST.
Shoot this thing with shocking tranqs and feed it prime. It’s watching...
Warning!this creature even at level 8 can use up too 40 narcotics.Always bring the narcs(narcotics).
If they are in group then don't go through
Remember these guys are fast. Make sure you have plenty tranq arrows and bolas. If you really don't want it to break out fast use a bear trap. Be careful there torpor runs out fast. Good Luck and have fun survivor
