ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
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.
Whoever said that the sky is too easy in ark, do I have to introduce you to wyverns and managarmr?
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
We need to see these in lost island
Easy method for passive filters build trap big enough for it lure in with rare flowers riding a pteranadon once aggression goes away tame.
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.
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.
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.
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
Stupidly rare or my luck is bad
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)
They spawn in the forest near the birch forest in fjord
The main reason I would tame one is for the grinder effect that it has
This is a copy of another comment, but I added some of my own info that I used to make this easier:
DO NOT TRY TO KNOCK IT OUT (I made this mistake too many times)
Find a Tropeo and normal bola it
Then place 3 dino gateways, (have ready on hot bar with gates), like a triangle around it
Put 4 stone pillars on top of eachother next to the centre of the trap and put some ceilings on them (4 ceilings should be enough)
Then you can place your ballista outside the trap and charge the chain bolas but DO NOT SHOOT
First you have to starve it with normal bolas, (I just used a bola on him every 25-30 seconds until his food was down enough)
Once you have starved him… just chain bola the guy and feed him so it's an insta-tame
Don't leave render of it if you have it trapped, for some reason it will phase out and chase you across the world.
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.
