100% taming efficiency in less than 10nmins
Timer is way off. Estimated 8:30 intervals for me and I’ve been waiting over 30 min for my second feeding
Spawns with tape, good to use owl to find them
2 dino gates with doors to trap and use gap to shoot bola,btw wait minute between bolas to makes sure it’s ready to eat otherwise you waste your metal bolas fast
Passive tame prompt will NOT show up unless it is hit with a Chain Bola. Tested flying next to Tropeo in wild, and using regular bolas. Lure it to a Balista and use Chain Bolas. But be careful of it's grab! It will absolutely shred your armor.
When tameing be careful that can pick you off your tame
Most likely found in the floating islands area of crystal isles
I have found the best way to tame the tropeo is to get on a griffin fly to the one you want use a normal bola to ground it then make a trap with the dino gates around it wait until the normal bola is off then use the chain bola and then feed it. It works for me every time
For taming it’s best to go to an area where you won’t be disturbed often, preferably ontop of a hill or cliff. Make a trap similar to a classic argentavis trap (I highly suggest using mental structures though). On one end you’ll have your gate, as usual, but on the other end have a turret loaded with a chain bola on a metal foundation in such a way that will prevent there being enough space for the tropeo to fly out. Once you lure the tropeo close enough to the trap, run and mount the turret, face it into the trap, and once the tropeo flies in bola it. Quickly close the gate. Be careful walking around the trap, as if it grabs you you’ll have to hit it to get free which will mess up the taming. It’s ready to be fed once it says “doesn’t want to be tamed right now”. You then have to chain bola it again in order to be able to feed it. This is easiest with two people, as it will target whoever last chained it, allowing the other person to safely feed it.
If they are high in the sky use a quetzal with a ballista on its platform saddle. Chain bola it and use a wing suit to follow it down. Place stone dino gates over the tropeo and block the two ends with doors. Make sure to leave a gap between the dino gates that is wide enough to shoot a chain bola through. Then proceed to tame it by shooting it with another chain bola and feeding it exceptional kibble. I solo tamed one this way but more people would make this method easier. Tip: If you do this solo have your quetzal on follow and passive.
ITS A FU*KING JET GUYS, and since it has his flipp thing its perfect to outplay in a Air fight,specielly against wyvern
Spawn anywhere with tappys, usually walking about.
Walk up to it, set your balista turret & bola it.
Then put few dino gates over and cage it👌🏽 do not go near unless bolad, it will grab you and butcher your armour😂😂
Remember this Dino shoots grenades which deal most damage to stone not metal
The notes say it will be released on consoles today june 11th, to most of the maps, until crystal isles is released to the consoles, then it'll transition to only being on that map, get your taming ready :) its a built in grinder
