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

People who complain about the difficult taming should consider moving on to more appropriate games such as wordle or bingo

The devs changed the Yi Qi to the Yi ling because they didn’t think the Yi Qi would fit aberration, well that’s what I heard. If you look on arks website survivetheark you can see that it’s not called the Yi Qi but called the Yi ling. just wanted to say about this for people who didn’t know about the change.

Sometimes you just gotta abandon trying to get a specific one because the AI will trip out and you'll have 30+ stacks and it won't dive you even outside the 2x2 trap. It will either jump in the air but not attack or run around in circles until you lose aggro. I lost two hours trying to get my first one and it only dove about 4 times in that entire attempt. I've run into broken ones like this every now and again but for the most part they will act as they should. I was using the same trap for every instance so I'm assuming it might be the individual AI.

To keep your mind sane just use a simple trap:

1 Pillar, 4 ceilings, 16 doorframe and 1 ramp

Place pillar and build the rest in a square on top and the ramp on the side, then repeat the below steps inside trap.

Just stay at 30+ feathers, wait for dive throw species z fruit, feed narcotics(or biotoxin), step out let it bite you, when it goes up use the ramp to reenter the trap and repeat, enjoy your chicken

Literally another dino that you have to jump through loops for just to tame... and it's an early game mount.

This better just be a regular knockout tame wildcards making all the new tames waaaaaay to complicated. I mean getting a cocktail and getting certo to drink ur drunk blood. cleaning leaches with an icthy for hours.

Getting eggs to distract the mom giga raptor so u can dance with its baby’s in a nest. blowing it up while it’s sleeping then bashing it’s head into rocks forever and still make it wait so it can eat ur stuff. Killing ur tame than fighting countless hard vultures to protect the creature than maybe tame the creature. Seriously wildcard why why why why why

If you dont want to be annoyed and lose your stuff, don't even attempt taming these. Since release they have been so buggy to tame. The z fruit doesn't even stun it half the time and its dives are inconsistent.
