Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a yi ling? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a yi ling.
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
When you go to flash bang it go in first person, it makes it so much easier to hit.
You have to let it hit you with its feathers then once it dive bombs you have to hit it with the plant species seed(flashbang) to stun it after it will stand still and you can feed it narcotic/biotoxin repeat till it falls asleep
Gotta let it shoot you a bunch (30 ish) then when it goes to charge you throw a plant z to stun it and have bio toxin in your last slot and hand feed while stun.. rinse and repeat
It says it’s Leval 1 but it took 5 biotoxen, compared to 1 for a leval four.

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.
After getting pelted with feathers, once it is lunging towards you throw a plant species z at it. Then you will be able to feed it narcotics, the narcotic has to be in the last slot.
Coordinates: 38 Lat, 38 Long
Bring: biotoxin/narcos, plant z fruit, 4 stone foundations, 16 doorways
Actions: Kills all Dinos in area, park mount in safe location, build trap (don’t let yi ling see you), let it hit you with 30 feathers then run to middle of trap. When it dive bombs at you it’ll get stuck (this is when you throw the fruit at its head), run up to it and feed it the biotoxin/narcos, it’ll run away a sec so step outside the trap and at this point only let it hit you to keep the 30+ feathers timer up. Repeat until it ko’s then feed mutton. I hope this explains it well.
Don’t die in the process so you can actually tame it
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
When making your 2x2 cuck box for reccomend putting a roof over it just so you dont run the risk of one of these Yi Lings threading the needle whilst doing their dive bomb/rupture attack
Pretty easy to tame but can be annoying. To make your life easier, make a basic trap, (2x2 foundation, two walls high doorways), get armor on(regular flak will work) get them aggro'd on you and let them shoot 30 feathers at you, when you hit 30 run into the trap and you'll see red lines behind their wings. this is how you know they're going to dive bomb! they USUALLY circle you 2-3 times before dive bombing you and they'll do a spin in the air right before the do. Once theyre about to hit the ground, throw a flashbang(species z fruit) and run up to them and feed them bio toxin(you can get it from jellyfish and the mushrooms that make you hallucinate). Repeat a couple of times until they knock out, then feed them! for a level 100 it took around 5-6 species z and biotoxin, a lvl 50 took 3 so you can base it around that.
Tamed high levels on official with prim flak and no shield, you don’t need high dura flak for this
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.
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.

The breeding thing for yilings is wrong. It's 58 min incubation.
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.
I just spent the last 3 hours trying to tame this thing, and after taming it, it's really not worth it.
The feathers are cool and all, but they're only usable on big slow targets, mine was a 135 base tame, and it's damage is around 1,200 damage with a full rupture, but it takes so long to do that it can't really kill anything. Making it really difficult to level.
Maybe after some decent leveling it'll be better than the dire bears I've got, but for now it's pretty much just a trophy creature.
You can find a yi ling in the green zone, once you do have plant species z fruit and narcotics. Then tank 40 feathers and once it dive bombs to you throw the fruit ( gotta time it ) feed it a narcotic, rinse and repeat this process and boom. You have a yi ling
There’s a relative lack of animal life near the blue zone entrance at 33.6 Lon 61.4 lat. Use a karkinos to grab the wild one you want (if you’re at that stage) and kill everything in the area. Yi Lings have severe ADHD and will attack ANYTHING with a pulse even if it’s far away from you. Build a circular foundation using 6 triangle foundations and stack 2-high doorways around the circle to make a trap. Stand in the trap when it divebombs you, which will lead to it getting stuck in the doorway for an easy stun. Bring 3 sets of flak and some medbrews, and at least 20 biotoxin for high levels. If you can, have a tribemate constantly going around killing wild dinos to prevent the yi lings ADHD from triggering! (I’ve done this solo so it’s perfectly doable)
