Easy way to tame the BIG Dragon!

[Oracle]

Step 1: Go to the far north. where the mountains rise up, and the creatures stop spawning. If you try and tame a Dragon, and an Orc is whacking you in the side of the head, you are fooked.

Step 2: Find a spot where they spawn.

Step 3: Build a hunting platform. Mine was 1 stone foundation, 1 stone stairs, and then 1 piece of floor.

Step 4: Attack the Dragon, then quickly fly on your piece of stairs.

Step 5: Find the right spot to bug it out. My first few tries, it attacked me, and messed me up. After a few more tries, I found a spot where I could hold the beam, and the dragon just sat there.

Before you start!

Bring (1 saddle) (1 taming scroll) (TONS of potions) health and mana.

It takes like 5 minutes to tame the damn thing. Just take your time.

Easier way is to just put a rock between you and it. It can't attack you then, easy taming. Took me 2 tries.

I don't think we should be promoting this style of taming. But at least this is some feedback for devs to fix things.

It is early access.

I think its ok.

It honestly took some planning.

+1 agree, however I think the taming system currently promotes more frustration than enjoyment. It needs a strong revision which will be likely during the EA period.

Well, I feel kinda dirty for pulling out AI fail to win.

The game is early access, and I just wanted to try it.

I think its fair.

I think with a group of 2 or 3, you could do it without cheating. one person to tame. one person to kill random ♥♥♥♥ that comes, and one person to heal.

But as a solo player, I was happy for the cheese.

Or just get a 1000hp make a around 50 hp pots just stand in front of him and just tame him while healing true the dammage.

At lvl 60 you can tame dragons by facetanking them. Before lvl 60 just put a rock or tree between you and the dragon no need for fancy setups, the ai is dumb as hell.

The problem I had, was other creatures attacking me.

Not the dragon itself.

On the server I play on there are constantly infernal dragons all over the islands on the farthest south edge of the map. I tamed mine at a fast travel tower. Just ran outside to aggro it, inside for cover over and over til he was tame.

Um, you know u can let the NPC beat on you and be fine right? The orc I mean.

Best way is a broom tame, then you wont need to bother with building ur little tower. However, building a taming tower should NOT be considered exploiting the buggy AI. They've let you build, using your brain to build something to help you out shouldnt be looked down upon.
