How to tame a tropeognathus [trope-eo-ag-nah-this] but the tutorial is detailed
////
SUPPLIES NEEDED :
- 3-4 dino gateways (stone or better)
- A dino gate
- 3 pillars
- A ballista turret
- 20 or so chain bolas for a high level just to be safe, but you'll probably not need that many
- 2 ceilings for safety
- 2-3 parachutes also for safety
- A pteranadon with decent stamina and a bit of speed
TAMING :
STEP 1.
Find a tropeognathus on your pteranadon and fly directly below it onto the ground, it's okay if it goes out of render
STEP 2.
Clear out the area of any danger
STEP 3.
Place the four or three dino gateways in a row like a typical trap and the gate at the right end, make sure you there's not too much space between each gateway. Place the 3 pillars on top of each other right at the left end of the trap, and atop the pillars place ceilings leading into the trap. Then put the ballista turret at the left end, sort of between the pillars and the last dino gateway, but make sure not to be too close to the trap.
STEP 4.
Open the gate that leads into the trap, find the tropegnathus, and bite it, then get AWAY, fly down to your trap, they're fast so be quick
β’ If you get grabbed, whistle pteranadon to follow, and get free, once you're relatively close to the ground use the parachutes mentioned earlier and do step 5
STEP 5.
Fly into the trap, tropegnathus following, and fly out through one of the holes in the trap
β’ The tropegnathus shouldn't be able to fit through them, if it does, just fly out of render and go back to try again with less space in between
STEP 6.
Close the gate at the other end, stay away from the tropegnathus while doing this, but it should be aggroed to your pteranadon primarily
STEP 7.
Go to your ballista, shoot the tropegnathus, wait until it's free
STEP 8.
After about 10 seconds of being free, shoot the tropegnathus again, you can now feed it the food it requires, it might glare at you
STEP 9.
Repeat until it's tamed, shoot it with the chain bola between each feed or it'll dine on you, you can also use regular bolas to drain its hunger, but not to tame it

you can easily tame it like this:
find a tropeo and bola it (normal bolas) then place 3 dino gateways 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 and charge the chain bolas but DO NOT SHOOT, first you have to starve it with normal bolas so just bola him every 30 seconds until his food is down enough, once you have done that just chain bola this guy and feed him so it's an insta-tame
hope this helped, leave an arrow
If u chain bola it and donβt feed it and wait like 30 more seconds after it gets free. It looses like 200 food do this a couple of times and itβs an insta-tame
REGULAR BOLAS DO NOT WORK, this mf was dragging me through the air ;_;
If you only want to use one chain bola and your on a cluster server, tame a reaper, bola the tropeo and then use the reaper's right click attack. Adds 20 seconds to the bola each time you right click and it hits.
Normal bolas do work to immobilize them so you can build around and trap them, but you still HAVE to use the chain bolas to feed them, using normal ones will just say he doesn't wanna be tamed right now.
Donβt bother with regular bolas, every time I tried it didnβt let me feed only let me remove the bola. Wasted 3 hours of my life trying to get this to work, donβt waste 3 hours of yours.
What I used was metal bola and kibble. FEED IT LIKE A PASSIVE TAME. PUT FOOD IN THE LAST SLOT OF YOUR HOT BAR. Or you'll waste an hour and a half figure out why you killed two of em.
A 145 took 28 mins per feeding interval and ate 4 kibble to tame on official 4x event rates.
To that a hole saying a command is the easiest way. Not everyone just uses a little cheat book to get what they want here. Some line the satisfaction of working for that feeling.
