Tips & Strategies
If you want to tame this Small Apex Predator in the redwoods and dunguens then heres a tip for ya! ;')
For PC and consle users:
Step 1: Cryopod some of your throw away creatures and get some good armor like journeyman or ramshackle flak and chitin armor and also a sheild would be recomended. (Troodon can only be found on The Island,Centre,and Abberation, There also found in dunguens in mobile!)
Step 2: Go to redwoods. Make sure you have a torch if you arrive at the dead of night because theyre scared of light (Use a fast creature to use before night like a Griffin,Pt (Max Stam, Max Speed, Max HP)
Step 3: Un-Cryopod your useless creatures like (Low lvl Dinos, Trash Stat Dinos) and then put your flyer somewhere safe were terror birds, carnos, and other aggresive creatures
Step 3: Put your useless creatures on neutral or it needs to be unridden (The higher lvl the troodon the more tames youll need to sacrafice)
Step 4: You got a troodon . Thanks for looking at my guide!!!
Now hered taming one in PC the "Effecient Way".
Step 1: Make a small taming trap for the troodon (The building matierial needs to be Stone Tier since Troodons can break wood and thatch tier)
Step 2: Lead your high level troodon in your trap (Make sure you already hatched the baby before sacraficing it or the troodon will De-Spawn)
Step 3: Make sure the parrents of the baby needs to be high lvl like a lvl 100+ creature then bring your baby to the trap then wait for the troodon to kill it this will be a pain to see though BUTT you tamed a noice torpor inflicting friend.
Mobile Users:
Step 1: Be prepared for getting a troodon (Eerie Varriant) Get your armor ascendant flak armor are very important on going to a dunguen then go to your TEK Terminal or a random obelisk
Step 2: enter a dunguen (youll need amber or 0 amber to enter a duguen also make sure that the dunguen picture has to have a troodon or maybe not idk)
Step 3: Kill all the stages until you get a Troodon stage, finish the stage and collect the high lvl troodon implants, and leave the low lvls behind (If your at easy mode then collect the lvl 45 or the higher lvl troodon like 20 above average)
Step 4: Complete the dunguen, Then go to your obelisk or Revival Platform (Make sure the obelisk or taming platform has to have walls so the troodon cant go to the water in the obelisks and for the troodon to go around your base kicking the BUTT of your Tribemates or tamed creatures
Step 5: Do the same "Effeciant Tecnique" that i said on PC or sacrafice your Trashy creatures.
Thanks for looking at all of this! And hope this helps! πππππππ
More Troodon Taming & KO Tips
Tames are friends, not food.
Taming
Troodons use a unique flavor of Passive Taming. Instead of putting a Food item in your last Inventory Slot, you have to instead allow the Troodon to kill your tames. Troodons gain Taming Affinity by earning Combat Experience, with the amount required reduced to 40% at night. Taming Affinity will only be credited to a player if the creature killed belonged to you or your tribe. A singular tame is capable of providing experience to multiple Troodons. Tests have shown this is unreliable, but can be reproduced.
Requirements
Experience required: 343 + (32 x Troodon's level)
Experience required at night: 137 + (13 x Troodon's level)
Creatures must not be set as Passive and must be unmounted by a player.
Creatures can be unconscious or pre-damaged (i.e. at 1 Health remaining).
Babies and adults provide the same amount of experience.
Pheromone darts may be utilized to make the Troodon attack a chosen dino, but be careful that other wild dinos do not enter the fight.
Taming Notes
There is a "Feeding Interval" of sorts, wherein no Taming Affinity will be gained for subsequent kills. It is not yet known how this is calculated, but 90 seconds was sufficient for a level 1 Troodon.
Taming Affinity will not reset nor is Taming Effectiveness reduced when a wild Troodon takes damage.
In fact, Troodons will always tame with 100% Taming Effectiveness (i.e. 50% bonus levels).
Taming and Experience Multipliers do not seem to affect the Troodon. That said, the table below utilizes the v253.0 hard-coded 2x experience values (although even if the actual amount of experience required and earned is still on the previous 1x values, the taming requirements are the same.
Troodons will not readily aggro onto most creatures that provide a substantial amount of experience. To circumvent this, have the Troodon aggro to the player while standing on top of the creature
up to be able to feed you tribe mates to them for taming
Donβt use gigas or rex to defence your base from players use these smal Bois I swear they are greatest that is not a joke
And sorry for my bad English but hope that was useful ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
My dodo killed the troodon..
Pro tip, do not use lvl 160 dodo to tame.
It is recommended to only tame troodon during the night, as this will double the taming output it gets from killing creatures. (Dododex correction: taming at night is 2.5x rather than 2x.)
MULTIPLE OF YOUR PRIZED TAMES SOULS FOR A SOUL!!!!!!
Step 1: make a taming pen.
Step 2: put a lvl 80+ baby wyvern into the pen. Knock it out if you want to and lower its health down to almost 0.
Step 3: Drop troodon inside while its eyes are glowing.
Step 4: Enjoy your tamed troodon
If you want to tame this little basterd keep fattening it up with tamed dodos
Just drop them near him and watch him slaughter them all
:D
My favorite thing about Troodons
Me: All right. On to crafting a Troodon Pen for my Troodon.
*hears squawking sound*
Me: Troodon, what'd I tell you about eating my pets? TAMES ARE FRIENDS, NOT FOOD!
30 secs later
