Guest BubbaCrawfish Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Why use journeyman in the first instance... Bigger isn't always better. The reason you are killing them is because you are using a high damage crossbow, where you should just use a lower end one. The torpor dealt comes on gradually and builds up. Even with a low end bow, you'd end up dropping them, but because you use the high damage one it's just killing them. https://ark.gamepedia.com/Kairuku#KO_Strategy It even says in there just to use a normal bow... Nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristofer Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Just to add there are a few others can't tame with cross bow. Gall hard and Dire bear not at all. Others like giga where cross bow better coz faster reload and less chance to kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melcreif Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Haven't tame a bear since owl came [emoji4] Good call tho thxYeah I have and it eliminates the need for tranq darts. I'll use it on Griffins too just in case because they tend to get pretty bloody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
