Aureliax is tamed passively through a gift-giving ritual. Approach and mount it directly—shoulder pets must be unequipped for the prompt to appear. Offer a Bow or Metal Pick to trigger the transformation into an egg. After the egg lands, defend it from five waves of Neophytes marked as "Aureliax Defense." Use high-damage weapons like the Pump-Action Shotgun and wear Flak Armor. Stay close to the egg throughout the event. The entire process takes about 15 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.
Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing an Aureliax yields Pelt, Raw Meat, and Raw Prime Meat. The Hatchet harvests the most Pelt, the Pick yields the most Raw Meat, and a tamed carnivore provides the most Raw Prime Meat.
| Resource |  Pick |  Hatchet |
|---|---|---|
| 40%~33~21 hits | 60%~50~17 hits | |
| 60%~30~21 hits | 40%~20~17 hits | |
| 3%~1~21 hits | 2%~1~17 hits |
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
