I hate trying to tame lizards!

[CtenosaurOaxacana]

update: I also hate how cursing is replaced with heart symbol spam in steam forums, so I guess I'm gonna clean this rage post up a bit.

In a game full of utter chaos, this is one of the most difficult tasks to attempt, to make a stupid retarded reptile have the tiniest clue on the basics of GETTING FREE FOOD.

Even getting max rep with SCAVS and getting rides on RAINDEER is easier than this complete NONSENSE. Hell, it's even easier to kill and eat the LIZARD instead!

Mate, just throw something at them, I don't know why you that angry, but the one difficult thing is just getting the food.

If you drop it like you do scavs it won't work

you would have not survived in 1.5 then, their way to get food was way worse back then because of their insanely bad bite accuracy and sync when trying to fetch food, only the red lizard could be easily fed because of their instant turn reaction time, the rest would just heatbutt the floor for 10 minutes

I've finally tamed a lizard again for the sake of that expedition run.
Probably only the 4th time now in my 1,000+ hours, because it's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ obnoxious.

The problem is the stupid beasts comprehending there's food nearby.
Half the time they will strongly prefer killing me, a dangerous living creature,
instead of the dead carcass I threw in their stupid face.

And even after grabbing the corpse, they hang around for awhile,
letting themselves be exposed to scavs or vultures, instead of going back to their den.

Once they're actually tamed it's not a problem,
making them recognize food and survive long enough to BECOME tamed is the problem.

I know a couple lizard species can be tamed after just 1 feeding, without even having to return to their den, but there are those that require multiple feedings.

I would've and have survived just fine, I've had the game for about half a year before Downpour was released, and I beat Hunter run before Remix QoL options was a thing.

I know I've tamed lizards at least a couple times in 1.5 as well, and while I can't remember the details, I'm sure it was as awful as you say. But even in current 1.9, lizards are still stupid and obnoxious to tame.

I hate that there is passage and achievement for this BS. There should be achievement to obliterate lizardss in 7 different ways instead. God I hate rain world's lizards so much...

I actually like the lizards (except whites and reds, ♥♥♥♥ them), but I hate how difficult and chaotic it is to tame them... so many things can go wrong! Especially their unwillingness to cooperate (unless you play monk or always treat them well, I guess).

But there IS a passage / achievement for what you're asking: 'Dragon Slayer'!
Killing six different types of lizards rewards you this. Whenever you kill a new type and survive to hibernate afterwards, you'll see their color appear on the passage chart.
The two aquatic lizards don't count, nor does the secret joke campaign's 'train lizard', but the rest are fair game. Although the hard-mode cyan & red lizards don't count without having the DLC, supposedly.

I'm quite aware of dragonslayer. By 7 different ways I meant by spearing them, bombing them, throwing them out of cliff, body slaming them to death and etc.
