Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a thorny dragon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a thorny dragon.
If you stand on a big rock and use anything that knocks it out. And also watch out for the thorns
When taming it perfers cooked meat. Dont waste raw mutton. Cook it just right to satisfy the pricke lizard
When taming it with meat starve it and make a perserving bin place in the back of foundation so you can fit yourself in the tent then make sure you have sparkpowder and perserving salt because they eat food every 50 hunger for meat so put in perserving bin and spike around it for easy tame
Its best to knockout from up high where you are out of reach as it has quick attacks and decent damage. It does have a ranged topar attack as well but is easily dodged. Tranq darts are always the best option but if not available, delay your shots with tranq arrows by 2 to 5 seconds to allow the topar to build all they way. That way the arrows dont accidentally kill it.
Put a floor on ur paracer with walls and a celling then put gate at back with ramps leading dwn stick 3 or 4 of these on back of paracer to carry say 4x 500 in carryweight of wood but a paracer can hold say 1500 only 1000-1200 will be used depending on the weight of thornys
Be sure to bring tranq arrows and narcotics and be sure to run when dino is angry!
Does not gather wood in the swamp or rare mushrooms not sure if it's bugged on the island
Have your friend carry you with an argentavis so you won't get hit by its secondary torpor attack and shoot tranc arrows down at its head

What my friends do is we get electric prods from mantas and knock it out that way. Other way except tranq darts xan kill the thorny dragon.

Pro tip:This one are easy to tame if you stand on a rock with a boomerang/bow/crossbow/rifle(crouch when he shoots thorns to avoid getting tranq and falling into his very extremely dangerous gums)and throw/shoot at it, just go for low levels if you are being
On scorched earth all you need is a boomerang and to get him sucked and be Above him
