How You Get One

method, in order
Passive Passive, but it only eats while pinned by a Chain Bola — an ordinary Bola grounds it and the tame refuses to start.

Step by step

  1. Build the trap first: a Ballista Turret loaded with Chain Bolas, walls to funnel it if you can.
  2. Chain-bola it. A plain Bola holds it down but the taming bar literally tells you to 'Try the Chain Bola'.
  3. Feed it while it is pinned — Exceptional Kibble preferred, Raw Mutton works.

Also true

  • It is neutral until the bola lands and hostile afterwards; the trap does most of this tame.

Holding it still

BolaThrow it, it's stuck for 30 seconds. Carry a stack — you'll miss.
Chain BolaFired from a Ballista or Harpoon Launcher. Grounds flyers and pins them where they land.
Bear TrapPlace it, kite the creature over it. Holds long enough to get darts in.
Large Bear TrapSame idea as the Bear Trap, sized for the big stuff. Bait it into walking over one.
Plant Species YA grown trap plant — snares whatever triggers it. Handy where you can't place structures.

That's the full list — nothing else immobilizes a Tropeognathus, per the game's own immobilizer table (drag weight 149).

Every number in this card is at official 1× rates, with the fastest food. Taming speed and food consumption multipliers change all of it, and most servers are not on official — the calculator at the top of this tab takes your rates, a Sanguine Elixir, and every other food this creature will eat.

Effectiveness is what decides the bonus levels: every unit of food eaten costs a slice of it, so the food that needs the fewest units finishes at the highest level. That is why kibble is worth the trouble — not that it is much faster, but that it is fewer feedings.
