Ark started out like a cool game

[Buck_Naked]

well ark started out as a cool game but after triyng to tame a Yutyrannus on the lost island and having the first one run off the cliffs from the snow biome all the way to the volcano just to commit suicide by jumping into the lava pit. then the second one trying to tame magically disappears after i fought off everything trying to kill it.....the game went from a 7 to a zero in a matter of seconds

I'll ask my grocer if he's interested by this piece of information.

Lol setup behemoth gates and use a wyvern to lure it in wyvern don't get the scare effect from yutys

You can simply use the net projectile on a yuty, then surround it with metal billboards or stone dinogates, allowing you to tranq at your leisure.

build a trap, my dude.
the chore is just gathering the materials and setting it up. but once you got the dino trapped it just removes 99% of disasters that could happen when attempting to tame something.

How have you gotten to the point of taming a Yuty without knowing about taming pens?

[Ferchi]

why you blame the game when you are new in the game?
use net + stone doors, billboards or only a trap with ramps

Highly recommend using a harpoon launcher to start off to take down the yuty while you kill anything nearby.
You can then hit the yuty with tranqs a few times and harpoon it again to finish the KO with more tranqs.
I use a high damage crossbow for everything I can and heal with a snow owl if needed.
I use a snow owl with points into stam to keep it frozen long enough to run down the net cool down, I would then jump off and hit it with a net gun before it has a chance to move anywhere. Make sure you reload the netgun before trying to freeze to make things easier.

The above method works great if you fly in on a desmodus as you can shoot directly off the back of the desmodus, pick up direwolves and kill them quickly, and also kill off nearby hostile creatures of pretty much any type short of possibly a giga. Picking up the direwolves is a huge bonus for the yuty as they do fight eachother and in order to take them out without picking up you would be attacking the wolves and the yuty at the same time increasing the chance of the yuty dieing. As a bonus you can turn on night vision when the sun goes down and be able to quickly identify threats. Could also bring rare flowers to make clearing the area faster and easier once you net the yuty but I have not tested the usefulness of this. Don't get roared

Standard taming equipment for me include:
maewing (mass narcoberries on demand and excellent transportation)
snow owl
desmodus
Spyglass
Stack of health brews (mainly because I play a lot in rag and often glide through murder-murder)
Food/water (usually cooked lamb chops + canteen or custom consumables)
Harpoon launcher with several Net projectiles, one of which is preloaded
Highest damage crossbow with 100+ tranqs, one tranq pre-loaded or at a minimum double checked that it is in fact set to tranqs (because I do sad lolz type stuff all the time)
Otter around my neck with a stack of dodo kibble for munchies plus taming kibbles. (otter eats dodo kibble first, and quite rarely)
GPS (screenshot location of anything you want to comeback to - or your location before dismounting a tame in case you die)
Hatchet+axe which i rarely use but appreciate when I need them
High damage pump action shotgun with 50-100 shells, 6 preloaded.
Fully ghilli suit or armor of your choice.

If i wanna tame a good yutty I just go to "The Center" Ark and head towards the green obelisk. tundra biome there is really big and pretty flat. No lava either.

[Tachyon]

What inept attempts at taming. Really. No forward planning for contingencies whatsoever.

I don't mean to make light of those two situations... but this is ark, stuff like that is going to happen.

As many other people have said, use taming pens. It's the only smart move. Not only to keep the dino from running away like a chickenhead during the taming attempt, but to _protect_ the knocked out tame afterwards. Lost count of how many perfect tames were ruined by some idiotic predator running in and biting a tranqed tame.

If you're on a modded server and you have structures +, you can even pick up the parts and re-use them for further taming attempts.

If you're on a modded server, and you have admin access, you can use admin commands to fix glitches too. I trapped a yuty once, netted it, put gates around it, shot it with 2 tranquilizing shots... and then poof. It just disappeared. Gone.

I thought long and hard, and then opened up my admin console and just spawned in a replacement. It was the wrong sex, and didn't have the stats I was after. Tamed it, added to the collection, and ignored it. But it made me feel better afterwards.

If the tame get hits during taming and its in the trap. Consider letting it wake up and re-knock out for another shot at a perfect tame.

Take the kibble/meat/berries away. Force feed it a bunch of stim berries if you want it to wake up slightly faster.

If you wait to feed it until you know it's hungry enough to finish taming, but it gets hurt while you're waiting, they'll still be hungry if you let them wake up and knock them back out (instead of having to start from scratch).
