While playing Ark Survival Evolved, taming creatures is perhaps one of the most crucial aspects of survival. Why is that so? Taming allows players to forge bonds with prehistoric animals and dinosaurs, turning them into allies and formidable mounts. As you might have known, the game has tons of dinos roaming around the overworld. Each creature or dinosaur has its own unique abilities. The strategies needed to tame them also vary from one animal to another. Now, that being said, today in this guide, we’ll teach you how to tame one of the fastest dinos in Ark Survival Evolved, Gallimimus. So, if you are having trouble taming this beast, we are here to help.
Now, before we go over the taming process, let us take a look at what makes this creature unique. If you see the dino, it may look small and, quite frankly, weak. But that is far from the truth because what it lacks in size, it makes up for with its speed. If you did not know, the Gallimimus is actually one of the fastest animals in the game. So, if you are running from predators chasing you or just simply exploring a vast area, Gallimimus’ speed can be of great help.
ARK Survival Evolved Gallimimus Taming Guide: How to get & tame it?
When it comes to taming a Gallimimus, knocking it out first is necessary for the process to begin. But here lies the catch; Gallimimus has a very low HP, which means you need to be mindful while choosing your weapon to knock it out. To begin with, avoid crossbows, bows, and any other weapon that deals heavy damage. Also, as mentioned earlier, they are extremely fast and can run away in a matter of seconds. So, you need to use a weapon that can bring it down effectively. For this, you can use a Longneck rifle with tranquilizer darts. You can also hurl a Bola to immobilize it, so it is entirely your choice. After successfully knocking out the creature, you will need to feed it to successfully tame it.
Taming Food:
Food plays a crucial role in taming the Gallimimus. Ideally, kibble is the best choice for this creature. However, if you don’t have kibble available, you can use alternative food options such as fresh barley, fresh wheat, and even major and normal berries along with Mejoberry. Now, let us go over some general taming strategies for you to follow.
Strategies to immobilize it:
Net Gun Strategy: One popular strategy involves using a net gun to immobilize the Gallimimus. This allows you to approach it safely and begin the taming process.
Trap Strategy: For an early-game approach, you can construct a two-by-one trap using door frames and a ramp. Now, eat some flowers to make it aggressive towards you, enticing it to chase you into the trap. Once inside, it becomes much easier to knock it out and initiate taming.
Billboard and Bear Trap Strategy: Another cost-effective method involves using three wooden billboards and a bear trap. Follow the same steps as mentioned in the above strategy to lead the Gallimimus into the trap. The bear trap will immobilize the dinosaur, allowing for safe and straightforward taming.
