Taming

To bring a Desert Titan under your control, aim to eliminate the corruption spread across its form. Ensure you target only the corrupted spots to maintain taming effectiveness, as harming the Titan directly reduces it. Once tamed, Titans offer an in-built Platform Saddle, but they’re maneuvered from a distinct cockpit. Remember, Titans are tamed for only a 24-hour period.
