Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a tropeognathus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tropeognathus.
I had an easier time finding a unicorn, good luck.
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..
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
I hate how it says “they don’t want to be tamed right now”. How dumb
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
On 1x baby food consumption rate is 1 raw meat per 1min 05s
Stupidly bugged, even when not agro, didn’t lose any hunger and took health until it just died.
The tropeo will say "this tropeo does not want to be tamed" that means its ready to eat.
Tame a quetz and put ballista turrets with chain bola.

It seems that the stats here are wrong. It won't accept a second serving of prime meat after 5 minutes.
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
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.
You have to chain bola it to tame it but keep it chained or it will attack it is also a passive tame
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
I think it’s Amun’s to clubs and fists
Get a ballista and get a chain bola it can be that way and then place 3 dinosaur gates in a triangle once it has been caught by the chain bola and a few pillars with a ceilings on them so it blocks off the top and then place pillars blocking the door and then get rid of the dinosaur gates’ doors and then have a gillie it will help then have either exceptional or extraordinary kibble to tame it and then its just the waiting game.
Do not go out of render it will escape from the trap
If it picks you while taming it, whipping it will make it drop you but it will reset its taming, useful for getting it trapped
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.
