Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a tropeognathus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tropeognathus.
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.
Just use prime meat you lose 1 level but its 4x faster 30 mins instead of 2 hours
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.
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.
I’m going to do a tip for each category on my main man the trop, so get ready. Taming and knock build a trap of ur choice and chain bola it once you’ve lead it it, and get taming. Utility it’s saddle acts as a grinder, can fire grenades and has an op jet booster and it can be ridden without a saddle and it’s very fast and powerful, when fighting make sure to just bola and shoot, for funny I got nothing, for story I got nothing, for name ideas I have three: vanhalen (bc of its stripes) maverick (after top gun) and Nathaniel (bc the blue ones look like they’d be named Nathaniel)

I see someone said you can use normal bolas JUST tested this you CANNOT has to be chain bola.
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
just tamed a lvl 65 with 4 behemoth gates and multiple ballistas. It will take 26min and 30 seconds until it takes the second kibble (exceptional kibble) be sure u dont have any openings because its like stealing gems from rollrats. It will never forgive u.
To tame this Dino it is a PASSIVE tame.
HOWEVER, you need to chain Bola this beast before you can even feed it. (Seems to like extraordinary kibble)
You get one feed for every Bola, and after it is extremely aggressive.
Building a Trap is extremely recommended.
Good luck survivors!
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.
If u bola then shoot it a bunch till it low hp the next chain bola u will b able to feed it a ton
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.
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
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.
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
Use mutton to tame so much quicker
I had an easier time finding a unicorn, good luck.
