Archelon
Passive taming is the method for the Archelon: get close without aggroing it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. There's a ~14-second cooldown between feedings, so patience is essential.

|---|---|---|---|
Superior Kibble | 56 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.88% | |
Bio Toxin | 8:38 | 69 Lvl (219) 93.27% |
