Hey, it seems that the food only goes down from chain bola'ing it because the chain bola does a small amount of damage. Once it reaches full health again, that's when the food starts ticking down by 1 again. So, it's not so much the bola itself, but the damage you're doing to it. Imo method #2 is the best for that reason. Upvote so he can see. Edit: in fact you can probably skip the first bola altogether. Just start shooting it until its food drops enough, then chain bola and feed it. It's likely that this could even be done with arrows or a spear for minimal resource expenditure.
The second one was the fastest, just gotta be careful not to kill it and also scout out the area for any other harmful creatures. All of the methods were essentially the same though. Damage it either with bolas or arrows/bullets and it starts to heal and then food goes down quick. The second one could probably be even a lil faster if you bola it twice in a row.
As of yesterday, you can still shoot them with a regular bola to trap them. After that you have to use the chain. It took me three hours to tame a max level on our servers (300) before I found out about the food. Also - if you start the taming process and it picks you up and you damage it, you have to start again.
Brilliant! For method 3 you don't even need a trap! I was just about to try to get another one as well thank you nooblets for consistent, awesome and helpful videos!
Your best bet seems to be to either damage it a little before you trap it or damage it after you've chain bolad it, it's food will drop pretty rapidly to heal. Managed to tame a 140 in a few minutes on a 2x taming server. Just had to punch it a few times after the first chain bola hit then wait a bit, chain bola it again.. then check it's food.. should be dropping fairly quickly.
It doesn’t lose more food just because it’s in a bola it’s losing food because the bola damages it a little bit so really the best way to tame it would be the second way because your not using bolas just to damage it
Could you combine methods two and three? Use method two until it’s ready to be fed then hit it with multiple bolas all at once so you can just sit there and feed it?
The amount of time it remains in the Bola state does not stack with consecutive bolas, not sure if that's what you were asking exactly but that's how I interpreted it. OP is correct though, method 2 should be the only method used. The way you inflict the damage does not matter.
I just shoot at it and it's hunger goes down to 0 basically. It does not affect the taming effectiveness either. Your demonstration was also a very useful one as well.
Just now tamed my 1st Tropeo. I adjusted the taming strategy since I was nervous about the bola not lasting long enough to build the pen. I built a 2x8 stone foundation with a stone dino gate front and walls made of stone door frames, topped with stone ceilings to close it off. Shot the tropeo with a weak assault rifle to aggro it and ran into the pen. Closed the pen and then used your Bola method to drain it's food (as in a previous comment, someone said the food drains to the dmg inflicted by the bola which is correct, Wild Tropeo regens its lost health quickly which drains it's food). Repeated the bola process until it was about 1,500 food down and bola'd it once again to feed it and it tamed. So for those worried about the bola timer, use the regular pen method..... just watch your line of sight while shooting the bolas in between the stone door frames.. it flies through no problem. I do thank you for making this video, made it pretty easy to tame my 1st Tropeo.
2ed method is the best hands down it's a bit risky due to it being heavily damaged but it's the cheapest and fastest way to do this thank you for this amazing video.
X = Ballista with Chain Bola [ ]= Pillar ! = Gap where snow owl can flew through | | = Walls (Door Frames) / \= Dino Gate P = Weak Pteranodon (low lvl with no melee investments) Note: The trap will have ceiling to prevent it from flying out and will require 6-8 stone foundations X |[ ! ]| | | P | | / \ Strategy: Hit the trop once to get its agro and carefully lure it towards the trap and fly between the pillars. Once the Tropeo is in, quickly dismount and close the gates and head towards the ballista to then bola it. Once bola hop on the Ptera and start pecking it down to half or a third of its health (being in first person will help see the health bar on the tropeo) then observe the food bar carefully so you wont get grabbed. Once food is half or 3/4, bola it again if it has already broke out and feed it meat or its preferred kibble (Extraordinary skin work especially well) and it should tame very quickly. I've used this method and tamed many Tropeognathus in quick succession and it has my Otter of Approval (seals aren't in ark so the otter will do)
Isn't it possible to combine all 3 methods ? Bola once, build the trap, bola a second time, drop its health, and when ready to give kibble bola it multiple times so as to be able to give all kibble in one go?
I don't know why Ark doesn't just sponsor you for an Ark podcast or TH-cam series. Lord knows that would be the first wise investment of money they've ever done (unlike Atlas, the genesis maps, and Ark feat. Vin Diesel (???)).
What if i tried kicking it with an Equus to damage it and raise its torpor causing it to keep running away, would that still cause it starve faster from the damage or does it only lose food while in a bola?
Brilliant 👌🏻 Trying my 1st one later 👍🏻 Taming #2 is most cost effective, but I like #3 best... Never used a ballista yet, so don't exactly know how much grinding goes into it 🤔
I guess try to see the hunger bar from outside? When the icon is about 1/4 that means it is nearly at half. Try to increase the taming speed just in case since you don't have the spyglass mod. Hope this helps.
the only ones i have ever found are way high up in the air, does not give me time to build a trap because I do not know where it will land. It forces me to chain bola on a quetz to get them down, but in all of these youtube videos, they are just walking on the ground. I only have ever found them way high in the sky. Still have yet to actually tame one though

I tamed 2 used I chain bola for each one with the second method I instead used the lr bola and I hit it a couple of times did did twice and took me 5 mins to tame each one once they were hungry chain bola they ases and feed them the kibble
Steve, you know, when I hear you getting all fancy pants like now, this is when I know Ark people, whomever they are, will get out of hibernation, go tackle Screwge McDick to get all that good bling bling then remove them engineers from their cryopods and, after a record time at least half as long as it took them to engineer the Valentine suit, nerf the chain bollo food super-important-to-bring-the balance-to-the-force issue. That's when you know they are actually listening, but can you give them the credit or is it, yet again, a freakin' bow tie Hay High doing all the grunt work cause they're enjoying their permanent vacation way too much?

I like taming method 2 best, not gonna lie. Very satisfying
This works with regular bola for the trap and to damage it, saving on chains.
until they patch it :P
So Now chains work or not?
Ziad chains are supposed to be the main way of starting it. It’s not supposed to be bola’d by anything else but chains

Omg i love this channel so much 😍 that intro, your voice 😂😍 (no homo) 😂❤️

If you want that the food droops very quickly, you need to hit him... The food will droop very quickly because he heals
I just shoot at it and it's hunger goes down to 0 basically. It does not affect the taming effectiveness either. Your demonstration was also a very useful one as well.
Yeah i think they patched it.
Great vid bro
The old beat it and feed it trick lol love it.
Yet again Nooblets to the rescue finally tamed one opted for taking method 2. Cheers 👍
Thank you very much for the guide. I considered to just never tame that thing because of how time consuming it was!
Method 3 is the same as method 1 since it stops rapidly losing food after bola is released. Great video though.
Just now tamed my 1st Tropeo.

I love ur content Steve.
Your vids are the best mate
Why are you giving it Extraordinary Kibbles? Dododex says Exceptionnal Kibbles is his favorite? Am I not understanding something?
I found a 145 tried taming it for 3 hr and then watched this vid and tamed it in few minutes thanks A lot
2 years later and im still using this trap. I just make the trap, agro buckbeak, and when its in the trap i net it and close the doors.
It's expensive but if there's a trap you're going to use often have the entrance as a Tek gate. Then when they come in it auto closes.
Isn't it possible to combine all 3 methods ? Bola once, build the trap, bola a second time, drop its health, and when ready to give kibble bola it multiple times so as to be able to give all kibble in one go?
I don't know why Ark doesn't just sponsor you for an Ark podcast or TH-cam series. Lord knows that would be the first wise investment of money they've ever done (unlike Atlas, the genesis maps, and Ark feat. Vin Diesel (???)).
Can you stack chain bolas on other creatures or only the trop? Karkinos comes to mind.
It appears to start ticking 1 food at a time once it's health reaches full again (from when the chain bola did damage to it)
I just finally tamed mine, thank you for this video!
What if i tried kicking it with an Equus to damage it and raise its torpor causing it to keep running away, would that still cause it starve faster from the damage or does it only lose food while in a bola?
How did you get the Tropeognathus’s Unleveled movement speed stat to be zero?
That’s just how the spyglass shows it
all flyers have speed set to 0 points, no wasted speed points for flyers.
What if you knock it out and force feed it stim berries?

Hello Steve. Where do they spawn at scorched earth and Valgeuro? Any info is helpful. Thank you.
They only spawn on crystal isles
I found after bola Steve that making a tunnel with gates and little gaps worked best for me
Surely a combination of the second and third is best? However I'm yet to find one on crystal isles on xbox.
