Ark Crystal Isles Tropeognathus Location and Taming

We've prepared this detailed guide to help you find and tame the Tropeognathus creature in Ark Crystal Isles.

Tropeognathus is the newest creature addition in Ark Crystal Isles. This creature is ideal for carrying objects; you can place grenades and gas in its inventory. Though it doesn’t have fast speed, you can activate its boost mode to increase the speed.

While in boost mode, you can shoot grenades to clear nearby enemies. This creature has unique abilities to damage different structures, including metal. Remember that the damage is fixed; you can’t pump it up with melee or an upgraded saddle.

This guide highlights every bit of information you need to tame, find, and breed this new creature in Ark Crystal Isles and make use of it.

How to Tame Tropeognathus?

To tame this creature, you must have the following things:

  • 1 hand bola
  • 1 ballistic turret
  • 1 Chain bola
  • Exceptional Kibble/Extraordinary Kibble

Once you spot the creature, go on the ballista and shoot it with the chain bola. This will give you half a minute to set up the trap and use dino gates to make a triangle with a roof.

After Tropeognathus is trapped, go up to it and feed it a kibble. This triggers the taming process. When the creature is hungry, hit it with a chain bola, then feed it kibble. It will take some time for the creature to tame.
