What are tips for tropeognathus? Tips and strategies for tropeognathus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I see someone said you can use normal bolas JUST tested this you CANNOT has to be chain bola.
Oops forgot to add this to the monster log,
If you decide to attack it, it will grab you by the head to bite you in the air. And if you do escape it’s jaws, you will take fall damage. Then it will repeat the process.
If you chain bola it and shoot it a few times, it’s food will drop down massively when the chain bola goes away. Then it’s pretty much an instant tame when you chain bola it again.
Make sure to exhaust this thing before you feed and bola it. You can damage it do decrease it's food before you feed it and it wont decrease taming effectiveness. Share this to not have to wait 1.5 hrs next to a trap.
It's kinda trash that they wont add new dino's to The Island anymore. I mean like actual dinos (technically not a dino but you know) and not giant space whales or fat mother eels. But at least they are adding some on the other maps.
Not sure if glitch but it says it’s not in fjur but it is
Instead of feeding it kibble the first time you chain bola it wait and it will drop hunger extremely fast, no more 4 hour taming.
First regular bola, then build four pillars around the animal. Place 3 ceilings over it and your pen is made. Use your Argy to hold the chain bola’s you need. Place the ballista, load a chain bola, shoot it and quickly pick up the ballista to never loose it. Starve tame is way faster.
5 minute tame.
Trap it, Chain Bola it, Shoot it with a gun 2 times. 1 time for low lvl
Once the bola comes off it’s food will drop to heal itself.
When food is about half (use magnifying glass), Bola it again and feed kibble. It will take 1 kibble each 10 seconds. Tamed in mins
You are supposed to damage them once you chain bola them, if you damage them enough they will do a regeneration which uses crap tons of food, damage them and then bola and feed, wait a little and do it again and so on and you can tame in minutes
After hitting it with a Bola don't give kibble, place a trap around it and keep hitting with Bola, it will starve the trope faster, if you give kibble and the taming bar starts running it will starve ridiculously slow
For all those saying its crystal isles exclusive it is not (yet). Console (and il guessing mobile) will be able to find this creature on any map where you could find a quetzal, but as soon as we also get crystal isles on console and mobile it will become a CI exclusive dino like the griffin is for rag
This thing can be bolad
I mean WTF
They can be found in the NW part of the desert on rag. Just kill any tapejaras
