Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a troodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a troodon.
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
Don’t 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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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.)
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
Taming this thing is quite painful.
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
Your lvl 6 trike was killed by your Troodon
Me: Stop Eating My Pets!!!!!
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
"Fortitude is a useless stat" said no one that has faced these pack-hunting serial killers ever.
So I know I am going to hell for this but I found the bast way to tame these little munchkins. But it requires a very dastardly sacrifice. (This also works if you pitfall trap a whole squad of these as they all gain exp for it)
So it is night-time I have a group of 7 night nurses in my pit trap, and along comes Satan's little sacrifice. A newly hatched max level lycro that has been set to aggressive. Just drop the baby in the hole and weep at the carnage you have created you monster.. but enjoy your new glowing eyed, ankle high, mach 3 speed tranquillisers..
Feed him your buddy and he’ll be your buddy
I use these to attack people who attack my base because they are so small they won’t see them if they are on a large tame plus they do torpor and if you have a bunch of them on auto walk they can shred through players if good levels that is I highly advise doing some mutations with them - A.L.N.A
