Tropeognathus Taming Calculator
Pin a Tropeognathus with a Chain Bola, which is the only thing that will make it eat, then feed it and leave it be until the hold runs out. An ordinary Bola will hold it but not open the tame. Landing the bola turns it hostile, and hitting it while it is pinned interrupts the whole thing, so bola it into a trap rather than in the open.
How this tame works
No knockoutBring 7 Exceptional Kibble. About 73 minutes at level 150.
- Tropeognathus only eats while a Chain Bola has it pinned, and the bola lasts 2 times as long on a wild one.
- Hitting it while the bola holds does not interrupt anything. Bola damage is flattened to a fixed amount and re-arms the hold, so the window is longer than the bola alone suggests.
