One spawned right in top of me, and began flying close to the ground.

Like an idiot, I thought it was a Tapejara, and threw my bolo at it.

It was only when I realised it wasn't what I thought it was, and was a passive tame, that I left it behind.... It chased me all over the mountain.

Every time I thought I was free, and began looking at dinos to tame, it appears like the embodiment of winged death.

Eventually it knocked me off my Dino, into a pit of 5 hungry dire wolves, and myself and my max level iguanadon died.

Always double check your target before attacking.

Uhhh don’t be dumb like me and think it’s a knockout tame

101 points   🔧 Utility   Jun 8, 2020   Report

This Dino has a total of 5 different speeds!

[Without Saddle]

It has basic flight speed and sprint flying

[With Saddle]

Once you activate jet mode you will automatically be moving forward, but if you also press your forward key it will go faster, and on top of this it has a boost mode. (assuming sprinting with jetpack)

It also has an evade while in jet mode which makes the dono do a full 180° turn.

Easy method for passive filters build trap big enough for it lure in with rare flowers riding a pteranadon once aggression goes away tame.

I found it very easy to use a snow owl if you have one. Let's say it's just floating up there in the sky and you can't seem to get it down. Use the freeze ability and it will force it to land, where then you can proceed to chain Bola it from a ground unit. It won't cause aggro to freeze it either so there's that. I did the same thing with a quets and it was relatively the same results, except the quets took back off again after about 3 seconds or so.

It’s a non violent tame so don’t tranq it use bola to drain food and chain bola to tame it is a carnivore and is nuetral I hope this was useful good luck

81 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Jul 10, 2020   Report

To take the tropeognathus, chain bola it and feed it a food of your choice. if you try to tame the tropeognathus without a chain bola, it will likely grind your armor.

Btw they attack back and they hurt

57 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Jul 17, 2021   Report

Stupidly rare or my luck is bad

6 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Jan 1, 2025   Report

They are in Ark Mobile you just have to spawn them in untamed the just force tame it

69 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Jun 9, 2020   Report

To tame it, use a chain bola to trap it, then feed it kibble/raw meat. They’re neutral, which means they’ll only attack if provoked (the chain bola will aggro them)

67 points   🔧 Utility   Jul 3, 2020   Report

As of July 2nd 2020, they no longer give hard poly when grinding. :(

Single player uses:

1. Travel mount: Tropeognathus' speed without a saddle is slow af, but put a saddle and give it some gasoline and it's the fastest thing in the game.

2. Wyvern egg stealer: Seems obvious

3. Giga killer: The grenades can be slightly expensive with how many are needed, but Tropeognathus can kill basically any land animal in ark

31 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Feb 1, 2023   Report

Absolute fastest way to tame while retaining taming effectiveness is to find a tropeo, find somewhere nearby to place ballista on a single foundation, load it up with 10-12 chain bolas, take a wyvern to BITE the tropeo and get it aggro'd to the wyv, fly back to ballista and chain down the pursuing tropeo, continue hitting the tropeo with the remaining bolas (they stack the timer), then feed kibbles. The bite damage and bola stack will immediately drop the food stat so you can be done in a minute or two with no loss in taming effectiveness.

It will act as an industrial grinder

61 points   🔧 Utility   May 23, 2020   Report

Most likely a travel mount due to high stamina and THE ABILITY TO USE WIND CURRENTS TO SPEED UP !!

Kill Tapejaras as it share its spawn with them. I killed a few Tappy then 3 of them spawn in a row. On Rag, they are found on long 25. Found two different spawn so far, near blue ob and above green ob, always on long 25.
