What are tips for troodon? Tips and strategies for troodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Pro tip, domt use your soon to be F baby breeder rex to tame one of these only to lose it anyway to a 3rd party pack of raptors :(
Use only baby yuty for tame instant tame
They are scared of torches. From my experiences, it doesn’t always work, you could have different results. Torches are very scary >:D. Or maybe it’s the light
I refer to them as one thing only....Hungry Eyes....
Babies can be used as sacrifices. Also the troodon can be tamed using new born dinos.
I hate these little turd nuggets. They’re not even worth the lint you find in your belly button.
I Have gotten killed 4 times in a row by a little level 14 guy
These Dino's eat your tamed Dino's. The more Dino's you sacrifice to him the more he gets tamed. Bigger and stronger ones give more taming progress because of the higher exp reward for killing it. Taming is based on how much xp worth of Dino's you fed to him. Stronger Dino's give more xp, therefore more taming progress. Also a tip is to lowerthe hp of the Dino's you are going to sacrifice to him to be sure not to kill it.
Use for raiding, halairious reactions
Tame a lot of dodos put them on neutral and bring a troodon to them
Beware! These brats always travel in packs even if it doesn’t look like it at first. They also become highly aggressive at night so watch your back.
Summon the whole world’s arsenal to kill this little shite
They are poisonous when they hit you
I just tamed a 120 one.
What I did was I had 3 150+ Baby Brontos in cryopods and a high durability shield and stimulants in my hot bar. Throw the baby Bronto out of the cryopod (with cryo sickness) then let the Troodon out of the cage. Kite the Troodon around your unconscious tame and if you get hit eat a stimulant. (Stimulants prevent you from gaining torpor for a couple seconds as well as lowering your torpor).
When your tame dies throw out your next one and kite around it the same. Do this until it tames.
You need to do everything seperate because for whatever reason if it hits another tame at the same time as killing another one it will reset the xp gain and you won’t be able to tame it
They are now on ark mobile you can get only one from the burning fjord dungeon
If you want to find these things you are INSANE! There is no escape, there is no chance of survival, There is no killing DEATH!!
MULTIPLE OF YOUR PRIZED TAMES SOULS FOR A SOUL!!!!!!
Ok, I see people saying, ‘tame a bunch and use them as guards!’ Or other scenarios where you ‘tame a bunch’. You do not tame these. They will kill you before you know they are there. Most of the time your tame will kill them because they have a small health pool, so people use, like, dodos. A level one troodon will need 2456 level 150 dodos
troodons ai seems to more cosistently attack a mounted player. if you're not mounted it's ai is left to RNG to decide if it will attack at all and has a long cool down. troodons will also try to attack whatever is carrying it and can attack when carried by an Argy. I had the best result when using a tanky argy and several (6) baby yutys (230ish) over roughly 30% maturity, all set to lowest follow, baby dinos flee unless whistled. when the troodon stopped attacking I picked it up and flew over my trap until it attacked again. when I landed I whistle all follow and moved as needed so all of the babies are getting hit. use the move command on a nearby spotif the yutys are blocking your movement. day/night only matters for exp gained and having additional troodons nearby for mate/pack boost did not increase the damage per hit as far as I could tell.
I was once told that they weren't aggressive during the day, so I decided to show my newb friend what they are and explain why they are bad.
Instead of an explanation, he got a demonstration.
