How ARK players tame and knock out the Tropeognathus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

I found one on extinction bola it then it says try the chain bola so I killed it

Have done this multiple times for taming. Works great and faster. Trap the bird, pike it once or twice. Wait couple minutes to self heal and bola, feed all at once. Perfect tame complete in 5mins or less

Not even gonna lie this thing is so annoying but you can trap it they do attack if you hit them so trap them then bola and feed it's easier since your not shooting a moveing target

Use Extraordinary Kibble I stead of Exceptional Kibble. A level 150 only took 2 Extraordinary Kibble as opposed to 6 Exceptional Kibble.

Go on extinction in the city. There are a lot of them.

Bugged like all the other passive tames. If it doesnt appear to be loosing food points, better off killing and moving on.

Sat 2 hours for a 145, cued tame twice and no luck getting 2nd feeding.

Just timed a 145 between feeds at ~32 minutes on Official servers running the 4x taming event. Only 4 Exceptional Kibb required to perfect tame, but I strongly recommend building yourself a trap within render range of your base so you can do something besides watch them aggro…

Just an fyi you can use normal bolas and chain bolas so just bola it put 3 gates across it and then its trapped to tame

Tamed one today, MAKE SURE IF YOU HAVE IT TRAPPED YOU DONT GO OUT OF RENDER DISTAMCE OF IT, IT WILL GLITCH OUT OF THE TRAP, also a whip is good to bring because it if picks you up you can whip it and it will drop you. Also if you have it trapped whip it so it doesn't move…

Not sure if many know about this but you can drop the tropes food quickly by putting it in a chain bola every so often. Don’t feed it when it’s in a chain bola, just hit it with it and let it try and chase you/attack you when it is freed (whilst it’s still in a trap…

So I did some experimenting with the tropeo and the best way to tame it is to attack it and let it kill you a few times and only fight back a little. Doing so drains the tropeos hunger by a ton I tamed one with only one chain bola because its food was so low. Make sure people…

It’s food doesn’t go down if it’s aggro on you. Sit on a wyvern near trap and wait to avoid getting its aggro

If you punch it when it grabs you off your mount it will let you go. Just keep punching. Make sure you have a parachute. And if you wear armor, hardly no damage. It tells you on the screen in red. Punch till no red.

This might be different for other people, but the time in between feeds for taming is 35 minutes (feeding intervals=35 minutes)

1 point6 years oldReport

The Tropeo’s food goes down really slow during taming. In order to speed this up, once bola’d and before you feed first kibble, shoot the Tropeo with rifle or crossbow a couple of times. When the bola timer runs out, the Tropeo will start flying and food instantly…

Interval between feeding seems to be ridiculously long! Not sure if it bugged for me but it took like an hour between first and second feed

1 point6 years oldReport

While trapped and immobilized with a chain bola, deal damage to the tropeognathus before feeding it. Let it escape from the bola and then knock it down again. This will significantly reduce it’s food and increase the taming speed. It also does not reduce the taming…

Tropeo will say it does not want to be tamed if it isn't Bola'd.
