Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Tropeognathus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

When tameing the trop use a normal bola and place 3 pillars with a ceiling in a triangle close to the trop then place a slope ramp in center so he can’t get out. When feeding him first see how far his hungry goes to feed him and that is the time to feed.

10 min tame for max level

1. bola and trap

2. Shoot it twice

3. Bola and watch it poop

4. Feed kibble and let it break free

5. Bola again and feed kibble

100% taming efficiency in less than 10nmins

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.

It might also be worth saying that when they are near other fliers, even the smallest, they gain a speed boost that is typified by air waves on the edge of the screen

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

Notice they look like a "stork" that delivers babies. But with a rocket attached to it. This is the new tame ti steal wyvern eggs. I am naming mine "rocket man" or "the stork".

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…

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…

Regular bolas do work to trap it. You can't feed it til you use a chain bola but it gives you enough time to place gates & set up the ballista turret.

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😂😂
