Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a tropeognathus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tropeognathus.
Dossier implies that you will need a quetz with a platform saddle to tame.
Also a piscivore, so it will likely take fish.
Como criarla el tropeognathus
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
A 150 took 35 mins between bolas and kibble feed. Don’t get too close - you need to punch to get away which resets the taming bar. Also only keeping it caught under a ceiling with 2 columns seemed to work. If it can fly up and flee even in a larger trap. taming % plummeted quickly.
I used a double door frame trap with a dino gate and ceilings owl to kite owl can fly through the double doors np
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.
Though no data is available, the Tropeo is breedable, rideable, however not carryable by any other animal/dinosaur.
I just LOVE this animal. Just please use extraordinary kibble it takes a long time for it to be hungry again. It isn’t very fast but hey the saddle makes you fast. Ok bye
DO NOT TRY BOLAS YOU CANT TAME THEM WITH BOLAS
Feeding inteverals are actually 20 mins long instead of five. I’m was taming 145 male tropo. On 1x taming. Official server. And after first feeding the next feeding to get to 14 percent take even longer. About an hour. After that comes 20 min feeding intervals. And I used raw mutton.
Mutton takes the same Time frame in between feeds as kibble but gives less percentage so the timer is wrong for food choices.
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
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
Timer is way off. Estimated 8:30 intervals for me and I’ve been waiting over 30 min for my second feeding
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
When tameing be careful that can pick you off your tame
If you have it trapped in stone dinosaur gates DO NOT go out of its render distance. I went to farm crystal from wyverns and it chased me around the map and wasted so much of my time
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 end have a turret loaded with a chain bola on a metal foundation in such a way that will prevent there being enough space for the tropeo to fly out. Once you lure the tropeo close enough to the trap, run and mount the turret, face it into the trap, and once the tropeo flies in bola it. Quickly close the gate. Be careful walking around the trap, as if it grabs you you’ll have to hit it to get free which will mess up the taming. It’s ready to be fed once it says “doesn’t want to be tamed right now”. You then have to chain bola it again in order to be able to feed it. This is easiest with two people, as it will target whoever last chained it, allowing the other person to safely feed it.
Look up Captain Fatdog on Youtube he does a really good trap for this flyer. Very Easy to Make as well and easy to follow . Good for beginners who want this Flyer hope this helps yall
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 to shoot a chain bola through. Then proceed to tame it by shooting it with another chain bola and feeding it exceptional kibble. I solo tamed one this way but more people would make this method easier. Tip: If you do this solo have your quetzal on follow and passive.
