How to Tame Thorny Dragon
The food you will need to tame the Thorny Dragon in Ark Scorched Earth is given below.
- Prime Meat
- Raw Meat
Meat is an essential thing for taming Thorny Lizard. Once the Dino is under your control, you will need the meat to complete the taming process. Now to get the Thorny Dragon under control, first of all, try to stand at a place that is a little high from the ground, usually a big stone.
Standing at a high place will protect you from Thorny Lizard close-range attacks, which are more dangerous. Shooting the Dino will be much easier for you from a high place, and the taming process will get much easier.
Thorny Dragon health pool is not that big, so after a few tranquilizer darts, this Dino is knocked out, and you can start the taming process. While starting the taming process, you must wait for a few minutes, so the dragon gets starved.
The taming time will significantly reduce if you feed it after a few minutes of wait. Transfer the Prime and raw Meat to its inventory after a few minutes, and the beast will be tamed successfully.
Once tamed, Thorny Dragon can be very useful as it can do anything you want. You can use it in battle, and at higher levels, it can take a lot of damage.
Using its amazing melee abilities, you can take out other creatures. If you play wisely, you can take out a Rex with Thorny Dragon.
