Save your sanity and build a trap:

2x2 stone foundation

16 stone doorframe

Stand in middle, keep feather stacks at 30+ and wait for yi ling to dive, it'll get stuck on doorframe, throw plant species at head, feed narcotics, repeat...

Make a 2x2 with stone foundations and 2 rows high of single doorframes all around. Get your feather stacks up to 30 then stand in the middle of the trap. When Yi Ling does the dive it will now be hindered and get stuck for a second or 2 in the doorframe giving way more time to z fruit it. The stacks of feather will not consume because it cant hit you, making the dives more frequent and not waiting again from 1 stack.

This tip will show you how to tame a Yi Ling, since I’ve not seen anyone post something like this yet.

So you’ll need the following:

High durability armour

A lot of Plant Species Z fruit

A handful of narcotics or bio toxin

Once you acquire everything you need, head to anywhere near rivers/lakes in the green zone on aberration since they most commonly spawn there, when you find one it would be best to be at a flat surface. You will also need to clear out any other wild Dinos or Yi Ling that you aren’t trying to tame, once you do that you’ll have to let it pelt you with it’s feathers, when you get pelted with around above 30 feathers it will spin in the air then divebomb onto you and you’ll need to time throwing a Plant Species Z fruit at it when it does so.

If you do this successfully then the Yi Ling will become stunned, walk up to it and feed it either narcotics or bio toxin which will increase its torpor bar depending on which of the two you’re using, you’ll have to rinse and repeat this process depending on the level of the Yi Ling until it knocks out. Once unconscious, feed it it’s preferred taming food which is Exceptional Kibble and if you don’t have access to the kibble Raw Mutton will work just as well

I hope this helps anyone in the future for those that are stuck trying to tame one, get to it fellow survivors

Bio toxins work better then narcotics.

Here’s a tip I’ve found taming them. If you let your feather count get too high it will eventually stop diving at you. So be sure to keep your feather count as close to 30 as possible to avoid a lot of wasted time.

A great early/midgame dino (I don't get why people are saying it's a early game rock drake) you will need to get used to the mechanics but what sets it apart from rock drake is it's feathers. Overall it's not good good but it's good for early game

I like this thing, definitely recommend for early game. It can get around pretty quickly, and it can shoot spines from above.

So basically the same as what everyone has put with the trap, but use 4x stone foundations and 24x stone Biotin.

Stand out in the open close to your trap and wait until the feather buff stacks up to 30 and then run inside your trap; the

Yi-Lings glide trail behind it will turn bright red and it will strike at the wall, getting stuck for a few seconds in the process. Throw your plant species z seed at it and then run up to it and feed it Narcotics/Biotoxin.

Here's something, despite dododex saying you can't use a Bola. You can use a bola on the Yi lings. Hope this helps!

There's is a faint red trail that will show up behind it as it circles just before it dives at you. Three bounces and it goes. Throw grenade at top of third bounce

Tank the feathers when it dive bombs you hit it with a y seed and feed it bio toxin after you ko feed extraordinary kibble good luck

To Tame bring:

- Good Flak

- Good riot/metal shield 🛡️

- Narcotics or Biotoxin

- A bunch of Plant Z flashbangs

- Food/Kibble

Process:

You need to tank it's fathered attack until your feathered count is greater than 30.

It will try to Dash you (flying dash), if it lands just tank attacks.

Once it dashes you, you need to throw a flashbang (the timing has to be perfect)

If you manage to flash it, it will stop for a while and you feed it Narcs/Biotoxin (have it on your last slot).

Repeat process until its knocked down.

Feed it.

Done.

Difficulty, I'd say it's a 3 or 4 out of 5 depending on your equipment.

Get a stack of thirty feathers, the it will try to lunge at you, in the middle of the lunge, flash bang it with a plant species Z seed, then give it biotoxin or narcotic and it's just a standard KO tame from here (it is presumably an omnivore, but it definitely eats meat).

First have high durability armor, plant species z fruit, and bio toxin and go to the green zone, find one and let it shoot 30 or 40 feathers. Once it tries to dive bomb you time the plant species z fruit and when it gets stunned run to it and feed it the bio toxin. ( put the bio toxin in the last box which is 9 or > for ps5 or it’s < and have the fruit in 1 or < spot for ps5 ) rinse and repeat until you have it knocked out.

To tame it , you need some type of narcotics ( biotoxin , narcotic , narcoberry , etc) and alot of plant Y flashbangs. When it notices you it will start flying around you while simultaneously throwing feathers at you .

A little counter for those feathers will appear were normal buffs show up . When it’s high enough , the Yi ling will dash at you , and you need to throw a flashbang when he does so .

He will be stunt for a short amount of time , and during that , you can feed him narcotics for it to gain torpor. Continues doing that to knock it out.

You need flak and shield. You need it to hit you and stack the feathers to 30 get ready and it will swoop you and you need the plant z fruit and flash bang it when it’s swooping and feed bio toxin. Into knocks out then its meat tame.

Don’t die in the process so you can actually tame it

You have to let it hit you with feathers then when it dives to attack you, you have to stun it the feed narcotics from last slot bio toxin is best and repeat until it’s knocked out then you can feed to tame

Yes, the 2x2 with 16 double door frames works! But heres how to easily proceeds:

1 - Stack 30 feathers outside the trap

2 - Runs to incidente the trap, go to the middle of it and get down (not completly, just the "sit")

3 - Keep the eye on Yi's wings, they will glow in red at some point, that means it is ready for the special atack

4 - Yi will fly agressivly towards you, but will be blocked by the fence, bomb it in this moment with Y seed (not the wil one, the crop) and feed it with the toxin.

5 - LEAVE the trap and be arround the Dino until it flies again. Repeat maintaining the 30 or more feathers status.

It can use the dash ability to gain altitude but has to land to use it again. You can dash upwards then cling to walls to refresh its ability and continue dashing upwards.
