Thank you for this video, I cannot tell you how many times I’ve died trying to tame it standing out in the open only for this to work so wonderfully. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this!! I watched another vid and was thinking that these guys were gonna be so obnoxious to tame lol. I love their idle animations, they are absolutely gorgeous!! Also to note, you can hold r on them to see the different feather types, and they can also eat Sap and Biotoxin for other feather types.
@@jackulwulf2618 yup. They were making me so frustrated to tame in the wild 😂 and yeah, as of now the 2 people have recommended so far have been sap and biotoxin… still wondering what the special mushroom one is though 😂😂 unless I was reading an outdated dossier.
@@MysticOnArk Yea, I dunno about the special mushroom unless it means that mushroom brew that you can make to stop radiation poisoning. Or perhaps it can directly harvest some of Ab's plants to gain the feather types. Or maybe it's just Ark adding things to the dossier's that don't actually mean anything in the game lol.
I'm glad I found your video, I didn't think I would be able to tame one of these guys thanks to my inconsistent fps making timing the flash bomb almost impossible, wouldn't have even though to try a trap
@@Bonedragon1300 yeah, that was one of the main thoughts I had. I think wildcard forgets that people with poor connections and servers with a lot of lag would make this impossible. I experienced it on ASE with voidwyrms. On official servers I couldn’t tame them, but had no problem in single player. Ah the joys of high ping.
@@Snackers33rd I’ve seen quite a few people credit me for it, so huge shoutout to them 🙂 I’m just glad it can help people. I don’t think it’s a crazy idea, it’s definitely something others would have figured out eventually, but if people want to claim it as their own, that’s on them.
@@arrank07 I don’t think they will. It’s not really exploiting anything. And it can still move freely. Just gives you more reaction time and lets you take less damage.
Awesome job! Loved it and will be using this method. Btw.. you can get biotoxin early game from harvesting the psychodelic mushrooms.. just eat a bunch of aggeravic mushrooms first and keep a bunch in your hot bar so you dont poop yourself to death.
@@wickedchymera haha it makes it so hard to see what the heck is going on. When I tried it on stream I was a bit close to raging cuz I couldn’t even see what was going on and I’d miss time throwing the Z. I was so frustrated I basically said there MUST be a solution. And this is what I came up with 🤣🤣
I will assume that this will work, The traditional non-trap method requires you to have near perfect reflexes. There are times when I see it do its "upward getting ready to dive animation" and I still somehow miss when its diving at me. And I play on singleplayer. Hopefully this brings the reflex requirement to a average level. Update: I used Randi's Animal Traps. Small Wooden Cage or Small Metal Cage. The idea of trapping yourself rather than the creature is in fact much easier. Thank you for the idea.
Yeah, when I was first trying it the non trap way I was like there is no way this is okay. Anyone with lag or poor ping will find it nearly impossible to tame. So I tested a bunch and finally realized you can kind of slow it down and give yourself more time to react by using the trap. Best of luck taming 🙂
really liking the new taming methods that come with creature .. HATE that most require player to build these damn traps ONLY cuz NO ONE EVERY TEARS THEM DOWN after they tame ...
@@scorpiohurley6786 good thing is, anyone can use this type of trap as you can’t really lock it. So if you find a high level in the area where someone already built one, no need to re-invent the wheel
@@scz-wi4dj same 😑 that’s why I was so determined to figure something out and ended up with this 😂 can only imagine how bad it would be on official servers with poor ping and lag. I remember being unable to tame voidwyrms because of this on official servers but had no problem in single player because of ping 🙄
Yi ling dont wanna do the dive animation he just keep shooting at me in the trap. I also was waiting to get quilled ( about 30 quill buff like u said )and nothing
@@mannygw-.-7653 so if he lands it helps to go out of the trap to get him up in the air. He needs to be a decent height to do the dive. That sounds like the issue I had testing the smaller trap. It helps to move around in the trap so he can lock onto you. If you aren’t “seeable” it can’t lock on and dive at you.
After a very long search, I tamed a level 140 Yi Ling and after another long search, I found a level 145 one but it doesn't dive at me even though its feather count is around 80-90. Also, the previous time, as soon as it passed 30, it would dive at me and I could stun it. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?
@@muhammetylmaz7241 make sure there’s not anything it’s getting stuck on like trees, rocks, walls. Also make sure it can see you. From what I can tell the dive animation is visual, ie the AI needs to be able to see you to trigger. Standing behind the walls seems to make it hard for it to see you sometimes.
@@Jaycredit nope. I’ve actually dumbed down my graphics a bunch. This is mostly high with a 60 fps cap. But I’m running a 4080 graphics card and I record in 1440p.
@@the0god968 it has to fly and do the dive animation, get stunned, and then fed. As of now, nothing else works. The key is not to get it into the trap but for you to be in the trap 🤣
I have tried and tried. It comes in, I throw the fruit, it dings, and when I get close, it bites me. It doesn't seem to want to dive, it latches on a rock and goes turret mode on me.
Also you can only stun it when it dives. Just because it runs at you doesn’t mean you can stun it. It sounds like you’ve missed a step somewhere along the way.
@@jch00lig4n yeah. It helps to clear out the trees and rocks. I’ve had a few get stuck on medium sized rocks. But if you clear everything it should work without any issues 🙂
@@Serrboys nope. Because technically you haven’t started taming it. I checked when I was testing on stream and that’s a negative which is why I had to use the magnifying glass. I def wish they’d make a change, at least for this creature so you can see it.
Thx for this awesome Guide, but how can I use the sedative Feathers? I but narcorberrys, biotoxin and narcotic in its inventory but cant choose sedative feathers 😢
@@basskatz3961 you can feed it the biotoxin. The commands on the right allow you to choose which feather to use. I mention it in the video but I don’t remember exactly which command it is. Also this is for pc so if you’re on console it will be different.
@@coldseraphim I don’t think this could be considered an exploit so I would be shocked if they patched it. It’s not impacting the taming process, just protecting the tamer and making it easier to react. They def didn’t consider lag/ping when they made this taming process.
not me spawning and force taming two of these on my island file and breeding a super yi ling as my token creature for my entire run through all of the arks.
@@Wallis184 it’s gotta still be able to see you so you can’t just hide behind the walls. The ai is visually active. You also need to clear the stuff nearby, trees, rocks, etc or they’ll land and run up.
@@toast3515 you could but the trap gives you more reaction time to throw the Z. One of the main issues I encountered was just not timing it well. With the trap it actually gives you at least an extra few seconds to respond and throw.

You can shoot quills as well when you are latched to a wall. It helps especially when you are using the tranq quills. It allows you to have better aim
