Tips & Strategies

What are tips for tropeognathus? Tips and strategies for tropeognathus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Found on Scorched Near the high mountain ranges on the west side. Setup a basic taming box with a stone Dino gate and setup a ballista in front of 2 pillars I could fire through. Be warned they have a long distance agro period. I lost it at some point after flying from my trap for food. Circled the entire ark to get back to me, heavy turrets didn’t seem to trigger while flying by when you start taming. Flower method works just fine. Chain bola when it’s time to feed again to efficiently use ammo. Have exceptional kibble on hand for fast taming. Good luck!
To tame these guys effectively set up a catapult and chain bola it and feed it extraordinary kibble and when it escaped it will Afro onto you, then from there rinse and repeat....
You tame this by chain bolaing bola ing? And then passive tame it but as soon as it breaks free it will try to kill you. Other from that it’s passive but you should probably trap it
They will spawn in the floating islands on crystal isles
Dossier says it can’t be bolad, but CAN be chain bolad! It’s also neutral so if you take a tapejara and a tribemate on the back seat, you can shoot the tropeo from the back seat. Dossier says it’s not the fastest so you’ll likely be able to outfly it with a tapejara or maybe even an argy.
These guys are on ume, you just have to spawn it with commands
Simplified taming guide
You will need:
Harpoon gun
Shotgun/high DPS weapon
Net Projectile (Bring extra incase you miss, they are fast)
4x Stone gateways
Balista
Chain Bola
Kibble/Mutton
1. Shoot net Projectile at it but don't get trapped in it's jaws.
(I play Fjodur so R.I.P Crystal Isles players)
2. Build 4 gateways around it and leave some space for the balista.
3. Inflict damage on tropeo so it loses hunger, but when it gets out of the net chain Bola it.
4. Feed it Kibble or mutton until tamed.
Resemble tapejaras in alot of ways. Fly backwards and in a 360 circle. They also make the same sounds as tapejaras
Speedy little pterosaur with its saddle, but you need a lot of stamina in this guy to use it for a longer period of time
Idk how to escape this thing, but make sure it doesn’t pick you up
It will carry you in the air ;-;
To tame a trop I have and idea for a trap and a strat: you’ll need: one chain bola, one ballista turret, three stone doorframes, three stone walls, one stone ceiling (triangle might work too but I haven’t tested it) first you set up the ballista, then you put the doorways in a triangle, then you put the walls or more doorways on top, then you shoot at the the Trop, wait for it to come into the triangle, run out the doorway and out the roof on, Chain bola it and tame it. Liek I said earlier this is an idea that hasn’t been tested so t may not work but if ur desperate or willing to take a risk for a cheap trap this is ur best bet
The person who said they got attacked by a guy and one of these on Rag, he prob tamed it on crystal and then imported it. :)
If the Dev adds ornithocheirus, i will be cheering because ornithocheirus is bigger, heavier, faster, than then the quetzal, they look like bigger tropeo
Bola it trap it. Bola again. Wack with your sword till its almost dead. Let it quickly starve. Bam. Feed kibble when it gets close to half.
These spawn on the same locations as the Tapajara
Chain bola it, feed it mutton or extraordinary kibble, and wait, with time alot of narcotics and mutton or kibble later your gonna have your self a jet powered, grenade launching bird to fly. kinda slow without a saddle though.
