What are tips for thorny dragon? Tips and strategies for thorny dragon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Thorny dragons are deadly to tame bc they spawn in groups of 2 and have tranquilizing venom in their needles. I recommend building a trap or placing some bear traps to then easily knock out and tame the large carnivore. Once tamed they act as good fighters, have a smithy saddle, tranq ballista of sorts, and most importantly: wood gatherer’s next I will be doing one of the following: reaper, rock drake, ravager, roll rat, karkinos
there are 2 of them next to my base in lost island, help. I dont know what to do!
Use net projectile and on scorched earth instant tame with raw mutton
Easy tame just get crossbow stand on rock it cant reach and just shoot it with thanks ( there are better methods but this requires little preparation)
We picked him up with a crystal wyvern and I shoot him from the ground with tranq darts. It was easy. Just be sure you are standing behind them (crystal wyver thorny combo), or the thorny can hit you with his stings.
Can be carried by argents. Hopefully this helps.
All taming stats are wrong-- bring extra narcotic, and expect 1 less lvl than stated.
I love the spines but stamina could use a boost it stamina is really bad
For the level 135 the narcotics are wrong you will probably need 59 on 2x but you will be cutting it close.
You can knock out low levels with something as simple as the boomerang. Just try not to get hit by too many quills. One or two per barrage shouldn't be too bad. Anything beyond that could be certain death
Ive needed more narcs for low lvl. 18 more
If want to tame this guy get a dodicirus and weaken it with the boomerang this will nock it out. Remaber a pacey this works for me in fact i have 12 right now.
I just got into Ragnorok and just got into Creative Mode and just pulled up on this guy, waiting for Wyvern eggs to spawn and give to my friends (on Valguero)
