Just run fricking run these things are annoying if they are in a pack they knock u out while u can’t do anything
Troodons are peaceful creature if you bring all you Dino’s to them they will have a party you can sometimes see these guys plotting a plan for a party I recommend letting all these troodons be your friend… 1 ^up = 1 friend… 1 down = no party
Use only neutral tamed dinos (I recommend them being unconscious) to tame it
Are you by any chance considering taming a troodon? Well.. I may have some info on how!! But first as with all of these this is what I would consider bringing, just know it’s entirely up to you how to tackle this! This guys wants what is hard to come by… tames! Some creatures a wild troodon will never attack, (wyverns, rock golems, magmasaurs, gigas, Etc) So how will you tame it, first pick for me would be to go straight to the pheromone darts! As this will Force the troodon to do your bidding whether it wants to or not! Now all you will need is a arena! There’s no perfect way to build one, feel free to come up with your own design! :D now these guys are nocturnal, however they can still be tamed in the day, yet less effective! It’s best to tame this guy at night! Wild Troodons will spawn anywhere throughout dense forests, redwoods, I’ve even seen some in swamps! Best course of action will be to pick them up with a argentavis, or a wyvern, if your in the redwoods watch for thylas! Bring the troodon and drop it into the arena, (probably should have mentioned that baby’s are easier to work with cuz they don’t fight back and give the same Xp) Drop your “test subjects” into the arena, and shoot with pheromone darts! !!Warning taming takes a lot of patience!!
Now that you got yourself a troodon! Why? Good question! First things first this creature is a amazing home defender; got some guy in pvp tryna screw with you? Send your troodon over and he will regret ever living, why? Even when tamed the troodon keeps its venom attack, giving the victim a “buff” on the lower right screen; this is the countdown until you fall uncounsios, stims won’t work! As it’s a great home defender, it is swift and agile, making it a decent escort if you have enough of them! What do they eat? Rumors that they still have to eat living things is a complete lie, they eat meat like every other carnivore!!
Oh not to mention it’s Hp regeneration, it’s great! Overall a pretty cool trophy of both your prowess and determination, as well as a well rounded out non-rideable tame! I hope you succeed in taming this lil monster! Good luck!!
Best way as a beginner or higher up player to survive these guys is to tame a sinamocrops (using chitin), Sina’s sit on ur shoulder and screech at anything small, including troodons, seagulls, dilos, and more. I think Sinas are only on lost island, but they are definitely worth it!
Give it a dodo to distract it while you get other games ready
I recommend taming lots of diplodocus’s
and breed them a ton they do 17% taming while they are easy to murder then you got your new true friend
İts my first playthrough on the pc version and i thought it was just a dilo Then 5 of them killed all my tames
Turns out they can damage wood
take a high level tame, beat it til it’s low, give it cryo sickness, and boom.
Use a taming pen, just please use a taming pen
Babies do spawn in the wild. If you don’t want to bother with the normal process, just hunt down a baby
Run. Just run-or tame them (bad tame-except for the tranq affect)
Taming this thing is quite painful.
When Encountering these at night, three words
Megalosaurus at night
In ark mobile you can find them in dungeon up if it's helpful
