Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a tropeognathus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tropeognathus.
The intervals is not 8.5 mins. More like 30-40 mins between feeding
The time is longer than 8min between each kibbles (+30min) in official x4
20 mins 1 prime meat. Not 4 mins
To tame a 145 on 4x took around 2 hrs with kibble
Takes a long time between feeds around 25 - 30 mins. Fairly easy to trap using Dino gates, pillars and ceilings, put around it once it has been chain bola'd. Have a tribe mate check if it needs feeding will only attack the person who bola'd it.
Fire a couple of chain bolas at it in the trap before feeding any kibble or meat, this compleatly drains its food,for a quick tame.
Dino gate trap. Ride pteradon and eat wild flowers. Chain bola and then feed it. Kibble amounts are correct timing is off. 25 min intervals till hungry.
Taming feed rate is 30 minutes per food piece on four times. Used ascended kibble
Use 2 quetz, 1 with ballista & 1 with 3 dino gates trap it with gate mid are and have other person on Quetz with ballista shoot in trap,feed and repeat
On back of quetz or wyvern use a normal bola to knock it out of sky, then 3 normal gates to trap it and then set up your launcher for chain bolas to start taming
Learned from experience, they phase right through quetz traps. Cant tame mid air.
Found on Scorched Near the high mountain ranges on the west side. Setup a basic taming box with a stone Dino gate and setup a ballista in front of 2 pillars I could fire through. Be warned they have a long distance agro period. I lost it at some point after flying from my trap for food. Circled the entire ark to get back to me, heavy turrets didn’t seem to trigger while flying by when you start taming. Flower method works just fine. Chain bola when it’s time to feed again to efficiently use ammo. Have exceptional kibble on hand for fast taming. Good luck!
Use a chain bola to keep it on the ground and then feed it mutton
When I heard that this guy came out i was like “YYYYAAAYYYY!!!!” Then I read ‘not on mobile’. IM ON MOBILE!!!!! Ark, please update mobile😭😭😭
This mainly is to the Creator of Dododex: the Tropeognathus can damage all structures from thatch to tek. But I‘m pretty sure the damage reduces. (Turret)
Intervals for my tame was 35 minutes official server xbox Rag server.
Using a whip on it will force it to land and release if you are being grappled by it.
Use 4 metal dino gates, 12 pillards and around 10 ceilings. Make a box and lure him in rare flowers. Set bolas up just outside of gate. It seemed like every time i tamed one "started at a lvl 10) i found a higher lvl. I got 7 so far and now im taming a lvl 125
When you compare this to a Quetzal, it is smaller so I am assuming it will take Superior Kibble or Exceptional Kibble due to it having a large and very deadly saddle. However it could take Extraordinary Kibble for Extraordinary Kibble go to valg and make a deinonychus farm and just leave them on breeding.
Start now so you can get it right away!!!
When taming the tropeognathus to instantly Drain it’s food, Get it into the trap, let it grab you, then punch a few times, let it get a little bloody, then wait about 20 seconds and the food should be around 0, then just bola it and feed the kibble, I just tamed a lvl 60 in 30 seconds on accident with 2 bolas. Pretty good dino, pretty long tame time
