What are tips for tropeognathus? Tips and strategies for tropeognathus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I've been studying this new map and got a sneak peak on this dino it's huge not bendable tho they might change there might wind current and this is 134 up for more later on🙃
Just use prime meat you lose 1 level but its 4x faster 30 mins instead of 2 hours
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.
To the person who said there on the island there is no Tropeognathus in the island there only in crystal isles.
Don't leave render of it if you have it trapped, for some reason it will phase out and chase you across the world.
Before taming Bola with a REGULAR Bola and damage it. Shortly after it takes off again it will lose a ton of food and tame in less than a minute. It must be a regular Bola for draining food and a chain Bola to tame.
First trap it, u can find multiple online, then shoot it with whatever you like just hurt it enough so it won’t heal anytime soon. Then wait and it’s food will drop much quicker than just waiting with out hurting it. Then chain bola it and feed it the kibble once u have starved it enough.
On valq these things are everywhere nearby the castle and the area around it. I’ve seen them above trees and walking on the ground. They only attack u if u attack it first so use this to your advantage. Gl fellow tamers.
THE SKIES OF THE ARK WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!!
These guys behave like a Tapejara without a saddle, except for their grinder function, but with a saddle they are AWSOME!!!
You can go as fast as a Wyvern on normal speed and even faster on double speed, they fire grenades and consume gas.
P.S it may take some time to get use to them but when you haven’t flown one of these you haven’t lived
When trapping, once using the chain bola the first time DO NOT FEED IT. Shoot it with a couple arrows to get it’s health below half. Once it escapes from the chain bola, re-bola it And you should be able to feed it multiple times within the bola duration. Tried today on small tribes, level 120 and 140
Found one on the island, however the food bar glitched and it won’t lose food so it seems a bit buggy
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
