Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a tropeognathus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tropeognathus.
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
Just finished taming a 145 on official with 2x taming
It took 7 kibble at 35 min intervals. Went up 15.8% each feed
Mutton only was 7.4% each feed and took about the same time each feed
Use mutton to tame so much quicker
I had an easier time finding a unicorn, good luck.
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
On 1x baby food consumption rate is 1 raw meat per 1min 05s
Goddamn wildcard.. So it seems this is bugged. 30 minutes interval with prime meat. So in reality this will take over 8 hours to tame..
The tropeo will say "this tropeo does not want to be tamed" that means its ready to eat.
You have to chain bola it to tame it but keep it chained or it will attack it is also a passive tame
Use A CHAIN BOLA Or It Will Not Take Your Food
If you want to drain it’s hunger use a bola, trap it then damage it.It will use its hunger bar to heal
Stupidly bugged, even when not agro, didn’t lose any hunger and took health until it just died.
Now that normal Bolas work (which they should cause its just a Reskinned Tapejara) the better idea now is to: Use a normal bola to drain its food. Then use a Chain Bola to tame it.
A tip is that the food goes down every time its Bola, meaning you can Bola it, wait 30-40 seconds after its free, rinse and repeat about 6-12 times and voila, you tamed a trope at a fraction of the time
Took me about 2 hours to tame a 140 on X4 official. Took about 35 minutes between the feedings excluding the time between the first and second feeding, which always takes a long time for passive tames. It kept agro no matter how far and how long I left it in the trap. I'm wondering if it's like an equus and only loses food when moving. Cause 2 hours to tame it during a X4 event is nuts. No way it's a 8 hour tame during normal rates.
Timer is off a considerable amount, tamed a 140 and timer was 45 minutes for second feeding and 35 minutes for third feeding and on. Official rates during 4x event
To make it a bit easier to tame trap it and use regular bolas to drain the food down then use the chain Bola to tame it you will use 5 or so and get a perfect tame
Do not go out of render it will escape from the trap
It only aggro the player who shoots at it with the bola, so a duo tame is easier because the guy who shoots at him will get grabbed and the other guy don't, so one guy only shoots and the other only feeds, after the first bola i suggest to not feed the trop right after trowing the first bola, instead let the food drain until 25% so you can tame it in a much lower time
If u want to avoid long wait times between feeding I suggest trapping the Tropeognathus and then using 1 or 2 regular (not chain) bolas to drop its hunger level as doing this seems to make it lose hunger very fast. Then when u want to tame it place your balista, fire a chain bola at it, pick up the balista again (for future use) and then run up from behind the bolad Tropeognathus and feed it.
