There is a mod called Awsome spyglass and it’s like a normal spyglass but you can see the stat points of a creature with it and it has other features too! I’m normally a no-mods person but this is the exception.

10 passengers can ride a diplo along with the driver.

All passengers can use weapons while in the diplo.

Rhynios can pick them up.

You have fast gunship now, use wisely.

How to tame tuso

1 get a tame. I don’t see why turtles are so good at taming, meg worked fine but either will work. lvl up heath

2 search deep sea, I found 3 on brutal from the bottom left corner of the map to the top left corner of the map.

3 if you have soothing balm use it but I didn’t need it. use black pearls takes 50 at a time but if you did use balm you can use cooked prime meat takes 30 at a time I think.

4 go on a killing spree in the sea to open spawn spots for tuso.

5 when you find it, kill all eels, mantas, and any other hostile Dino’s near it.

6 tame by letting it grab your tame, then feeding it the pearls or prime meat.

Tip for taming: Y'know how you have to run up to the deinosuchus to feed it? We'll, first of all you don't need ghillie for that, just be quick - in and out. But the real tip: When a deinosuchus opens it's mouth, only go to feed it when the mouth is static. If it's head is shaking and vibrating, it's a giga bite.

I was just flying near the redwoods to looks around when one of these freaks pulled up on me and my pt. I didn’t realize they were in the new mobile version so I screamed and tried to run away (it caught up) and I had to dismount my pt and run for it. DO NOT GO NEAR ANY SWAMP UNLESS YOU’RE PREPARED. THEY ARE SCARY.

a few things about argentavis:

advantages:

1. they are super useful as they have a 50% weight reduction on metal,crystal and obsidian

2. they can pick up medium sized dinos like the parasaur or raptor

3.whenever they eat corpses,they get a rapid regeneration that heals them fast as heck

disadvantages:

1:found in arctic and mountain areas which are both dangerous

2: flys slow

3:their saddle unlocks at lvl 62

i spent a lot of time writing this

The crossbow has a reload time of 2.61 seconds but dododex can only use 2.6 for its calculations or 0.66 with the grapple

It’s OFFICIAL:

You can only acquire a Fenrir (lvl150) after defeating the Fenrirsūlfr (Fjourd boss) the resulting tame is delivered in a cryopod after the boss dies.

The reason Dododex say it’s a knockout tame is because if you spawn a wild Fenrir you can knock one out and tame it that way, the only down side being the Fenrir CANT spawn in the wild

The fun way is to jump off and grapple to your argie and whistle it to attack and since argies are slow it won’t catch up in time so tranq till it goes out also bring parachutes and consider liking so more people will know

Not every creature can “eat” the pheromone that the males drop.. like this tip so Dododex can see and add which creatures can eat it and which ones can’t.

I know some that cannot:

Megatherium

Stego

Tek Creatures

Anky

Doeds

Sarco

Baryonyx

Carno

Managarmr

Some that can eat:

Wyverns

Rex

Quetzal

Maewing

Trike

With more testing we could have it set up fully and implemented into DodoDex

The things you need to tame a giga:-

1)Flyer (recommending an argy).

2)4-5 dinosaur metal gateways.

3)1-2 large bear traps.

4)10x soothing balm if your playing on mobile.

5)Your KO weapon (most recommended are ascendant longneck rifle or ascendant crossbow).

6)Your KO ammo (bring a decent amount).

7)Taming food of your choice (most recommended is raw prime meat or kibble if you can).

8)Decent amount of narcotics or bio toxin.

FIND GIGA: gigas usually spawn at mountains. On the island try looking around the volcano or the two mountains in the snow area.

SET YOUR TRAP: take 3 of your metal gateways and make this shape \_/ then put a large bear trap or 2 in the middle. It’s easier if you build the trap on flat ground.

TRAP THE GIGA: get the giga to follow you and make it go inside the trap, then make sure it’s caught in the bear trap. When it’s stuck in the bear trap go behind it and complete the trap with another gateway. The final shape of the trap looks like a Trapezoidal.

KO THE GIGA: even a low level giga has a lot of torpor and it drops fast so keep shooting no matter what. It’s recommended for a tribe-mate to help you.

START FEEDING: put the food in the giga’s inventory and keep an eye on it’s torpor.

I hope this was helpful 😊

Therizinos are very good for farming rockarrots you can get them while using the fiber attack and theres a chance you get 20 or more from one bush.
