What are tips for troodon? Tips and strategies for troodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Was getting raided over night came back and saw my troodon pack was leveled up dramatically that's why my storage area is dark for the bonus
Suddenly, 10 of these popped up outside my Redwood base on the center, I guess they changed the spawn rate in the Redwood, because I used to never see these...
1. Hit with bola, 2. K.o 3. Transport with bird to cage, 4. bring tames in. This is verry easy with argy. Try to knock out close to base or close to tames.
The best way to tame these is to use c4 to blow up their other friends in the pack. This will result in a veitnam flashback every two minutes, an inability to move, but it's scouting ability for traps is better because of paranoia
If you encounter one at night, don't even try to run away. Find a big rock near you and climb, those little cucks can catch up to you in a few seconds.
Just stay clear of these guys...I still have nightmares of being knocked unconscious and ripped to peices...shudders..
Take a high lvl giga baby Put it in a cage and bring it down to like 10 health the drop a 150 troodon at night in. Instant tame very easy, if the troodon dont attack the giga go in with a shield n stand next to it
You should use a paracer,or weak bronto (like level 5-10) nothing like a bear titan or Rex/therizino
If your like me and hate losing your stuff to these night time pedofiles then you get your movement speed to 140 and you can out run them
Killed a few with my pterodon. Gotten extremely lucky a couple other times when they had me KO'd and other animals around me got triggered and took them out while they were eating me alive. Don't go anywhere near the ground when these things are around. If you are on the ground and you see one up close it's already too late. All you can do is watch it slowly kill you and hope for a glitch or another dino to come by and kill it before it kills you.
I absolutely hate this thing. This stupid dinosaur ruined the game, I can't even believe to think people would wanna take this thing, it's scum. I literally raged quit because of this "thing".
I first started out walking around when I see eyes and I was gone in one hit. If you see one just run because there tends to be more in bushes.
Make a trap in the redwoods with a ramp for them to go in or forced in. Hatch the egg right next to trap then hurt the baby Dino till it has little to no health then lead into trap. Does not always agro babies so bring a shield and jump in with the baby and camp the baby as the troodon will attack the player with an AOE thus killing the baby Dino.
WARNING: THEY DO FIT THROUGH REGULAR DOORFRAMES I AM SHOOK
They hunt in packs and they come out at night than they all start to come out of nowhere like gorilla warfare
Lure em into deep water making them swim, then kill them with a crossbow.
If anyone has tried taming one a lvl 42 + giga will only get you half tame u need a 100+ for a full tame not worth the time.
Best way I've found to tame them (if you don't have access to baby wyverns) is to feed them baby carnos. Carnos can mate once a day and it gives a good amount of xp. It is possible to tame multiple troodons at once but extremely difficult. If one troodon tames before the other it will eat the tamed one.
Bola it, pick it up with any tame and place in taming pen.
Use grapple to hang just above K O paracer or trike so the troodon don will eat them.
