8xInfinity Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Just for the heck of it, I decided to try taming a troodon that I picked up today. I dropped the troodon into a taming pen on a motorboat parked in shallow water and dropped some cryosick carnos in, one at a time. Nothing happened. I made sure none were on passive and the troodon definitely got the kills, but there was nothing to indicate taming at all. Then it stopped taking my sacrifices. Then it just died. Like, it started to look really bloodied up for no reason and then keeled over. It happened within a really short period of time and the troodon never acted like it was distressed or being attacked. I was annoyed by this and spawned in a new troodon to experiment with. Exact same results -- troodon took one or two sacrificial dinos, then ignored my offerings, then started to look battered before dying. I thought the first time had to be a fluke, but I watched carefully as the second one died and there were no glitches or problems. The troodon was just pacing around the pen and then was dead. I'm pretty mystified. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its got to be out and free range like a titano.....also, maybe make the dino's eat rare flowers to entice it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I tamed a troodon was before cryopods existed so... are you sure that cryosick dinos are safe for troodon taming? It seems to me that using cryosick animals would make troodon taming way too easy and that WildCard would have included a game mechanic to prevent that from working. I'm just speculating, of course, so I could be off target, but have you confirmed that it's a safe method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used cryosick baby wyverns to tame troodons before they removed the cryosickness on official pve, it was an extremely easy way to tame them and completely viable. So I don't think the cryosickness is causing the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbonark Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Does it show up on the taming hud at all after you dropped in a carno? It sounds like you are on singleplayer or a private server, so I’m wondering if you have food consumption rates adjusted at all? Troodon will bug out sometimes and aggro onto you instead of your sacrifices and perhaps it starved once it stopped attacking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yekrucifixion187 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I wonder if it's drowning? Water is weird in this game. Try building a trap on land instead or placing the trap higher on the boat to see if that fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a similar bug when the Mesopithecus was introduced to the game. Once it got spooked and ran away, its food drained super quick and it just died within seconds. Nobody could explain for quite a while back in these days. "Did it die to a heart-attack?" was a very common question... 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1ckyBandit Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Damn I want a troodon just to troll beach bobs with swamp aids. Definitely gonna have to look into it at some point during this event while we have 2x taming. I wish you could put those jerks on your shoulder.

FoolsFolly Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I have tried to tame 2 epic event one trapped one not and they have both killed baby gigas one in fact 5 and no taming progress. I believe event has broke them and once it is over they will be back to tameable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candles Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I had this problem on pve as well. fed troodons with 2 different 200+ level crystal wyverns. No taming hud ever showed up and I just ended up losing 2 wyverns. Not really sure of the problem tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlutom Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 trodon taming take trodon, put trodon in pen chose any fresh baby for sacriface. gigas is best(biger level= more xp for trodon). your dino must be set attack target !!!. (if your dino is passive trodon dont obtain taming.) now wait to Night after trodon eyes start lighting put you baby dino in pen and wait after trodon kill him. repeat this until trodon is tamed. if trodon start fleeing and dont attack your baby dino 1 you have small pen or, 2 take trodon fly away with him after pen unrender and go back and put trodon in pen I tame 4 trodons 1 month+ back withouth any problem as dino i use fresh baby gigas near lvl 300.
