Today I decided to once again try tho tame a quetz. After all, now I can aim better and shoot for longer since instead of parachutin'&shootin' I can comfortable and more-or-less steadily stand on Wildfire's back.
I took enough (IF I shoot relatively well. Unfortunately, my aim isn't that great) darts and narcotics, grabbed all the exceptional kibble I have (bit over 30. Won't get me anything great, but I'm fine with just something usable), some parachutes, some dodo eggs for snack, and my 203% longneck.
SO I searched for a bit, saw a 145 giga and same level alpha rex, and in the end found a level 15 male quetz.
Perfect, a level that low actually has a chance of getting tamed before one or both of the level 145 menaces find us.
I shoot, and shoot, and shoot.
Hit about 6 times.
Ran out of darts.
Quetz is literally one dart short of being knocked out, at least if Dododex' info is correct.
Back to the base I go.
More darts are made, and this time I also grabbed some tranq arrows and a 180-something% crossbow. Then back to the quetz.
The rex and giga, apparently, were dealt with while I was away. Great!
I find the quetz again, shoot-shoot-shoot, you know how it goes.
And then it's finally knocked out!
Falls in water.
Drowns.
Damn.
Also, finished raising my hope of getting my rexes right. I'm talking about the second health-first melee mutated female duo.
I named the health one Ella and the melee one Tilla. Already mated them to my old, non-mutated breeding male Jotunn.
Hope the offspring inherits Ella and Tilla's stats. Also hope that one would be male, and another - female, to quicker get both health mutations and the melee one onto one, hopefully male dino.
