You can tame any creature including dinosaurs at any level of the game. However, do note that you’ll need around 50 Narcoberries (just to be on the safe side) and some edible berries.
Ark: Survival Evolved Taming Tips
To begin, first, you’ll have to knock out the creature followed by adding some berries into its inventory (red ones are the most effective) and keep an eye on its Unconscious Meter.
As soon as the Unconscious Meter begins to lower, add some Narcoberries after the one increases the Unconscious Meter by around 8%. During this time, continue to protect the creature and wait until the Unconscious Meter has filled up entirely before naming your creature.
Pro Tip: Always start with smaller creatures before tackling the larger ones.
Taming Dinosaurs and Creatures
You can find Berries by running around the bushes. As for Narcotics, you need to make them by using Pestle and Mortar as well as Engram for Narcotics. As for knocking out the creatures, you can either use your Fists or Slingshot to do that! You can also use Torpid Arrows and Hatchet, but these are for high level enemies. Following is a general overview on how to tame different creatures:
Herbivores: The choice of food for all Herbivores is Berries. In order to increase Taming Process’ effectiveness, you need to increase their hunger.
Carnivores: The choice of food for all Carnivores is Raw Meat. Once again, the effectiveness of Taming Process increases with their hunger. Also remember not to use Berries!
