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

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...

So I’ve checked the tips and I saw a few things missing so here are some tips to taming this thing. This is all without a trap because using a trap is boring and it ruins the game.

So when throwing the fruits, point your camera as much down as you can, while still being able to see the yi ling. this way when it dives you hit the ground and he gets hit by the explosion.

Second, keeping an eye on the feather count may be hard, so check if the yi ling can dive by looking at the trail when it flies. If it is red, he can dive at any moment. If you don’t stun him by missing, he does a lot of damage. This could one or two-shot you. So always have good armor on. And have some sleeping bags nearby.

So uhhh, that’s kinda all I have to say. Get that arrow pointing to the sky if this helped you!

The contrails will turn red when it's about to dive. It will barrel roll 3x before it dive bombs,

They are effected by bolas I repeat BOLAS people bolas

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.

Bio toxins work better then narcotics.

A level 145 took me 7 plant z’s and biotoxin on 2x official rates, hope this helps when gauging how many you will need.

Karkinos can carry it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
