Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a terror bird? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a terror bird.
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
Advice:
These guys go down quick but wake faster, don’t be like me and come back the minute it wakes up
Get a fully imprinted terror bird level 100+, paint it yellow, name it big bird, kill everything.
Keep a hold of jump as you're in air and it will glide
When taming one, be sure to bring lots of narcotics if you don’t have kibble. Blows through torpor fast. Don’t listen to the amount that Dododex tells you, those amounts are too low.
When taming do not leave unattended for too long, their torpor drops at about 3-4 per second and it doesnt have high torpor
Where you find it?where? Where?
If u wanna tame one of these bad boys. I suggest u trap it first. Then wait for a couple of hours(depends what level ur taming) then knock it out. And shove it's face with kibble
If your taming one just to inform you it will need WAY more narc than shown
That are sow annoying but the way to tame one is get a argentavis a ptenarodon at least bring 30 trank arrows and 50 arrows just to be safe
It said that they took 4 tranq arrows but I used 11.
I was taming a lv. 30 eerie, (I was on easy) and came unprepared. Narcoberries do not work. You will have to feed narc, then mejo, then narc and so on. Moral, do not forget biotic, from this I wasted 14 amber! And it is a female(yay) I have like no females but like millions of eggs
DONT HIT iT ON THE HEAD IT WILL DiED
Hit it with a Bola then shoot it with a bio toxin arrow then feed it kibbles
3 ways to tame them:
1. Make a stone trap (foundstion, doorframe, ramp, etc.). Get a bird, fly the bird, drag a dodo or a person around and make them bait. Without killing anyone the terror bird will be chasing you while you're flying in the air. Lure it into trap.
2. If you don't have a bird, you can solo it or do it with a friend. Find a terror bird. Start running to the trap. (Probably will die so put a bed in trap and respawn then repeat till bird gets trapped).
3. Bola it, shoot fast, bola it again before it tries attacking you or running away, shoot at it again.
TAKES AWHILE FOR THEM TO GO UNCONCIOUS. I once made the mistake and kept shooting as it took about 20 minutes for it to go unconcious it died from me shooting it too much.
YOU WILL NEED LOTS NARCOTICS!!!!
IT DOES NOT TAKE 252 NARCOBERRYS. I fed it about half a stack and still not taming.
If you are looking for one go to the redwoods be careful because they are so annoying.hope this helps
Tamed 2 150s and bred them now have a 277 terror. Let's just say travel and any dino but gigs is not a problem haha I killed a level 15 alpha trex. Bastard almost got me tho.
