Taming extravaganza!
First off, I’ll introduce Gaia. I managed to tame her over the course of 3 real life days. It was a pain having to constantly move the cannon, but got her in the end.
Titans are like rock elementals & crabs. You have to bludgeon them into submission with large blunt objects to specific parts of their anatomy. It took me probably over 100 cannon balls (with all the misses and hitting the wrong spot).
The stats. All titans are lvl 5 and do not level up. Once tamed, they gain 2 levels and their health is 334,000, stamina 2000, O2 600, food 8640, and weight 50,000. Their normal attack does 1860 damage and does full damage to rock elementals (instead of only 10% like most dinos & weapons).
I’ve lowered the food consumption rate to 1% so that I don’t have to log in and feed her every day because after a server reboot, tamed titans no longer will eat on their own.
I pretty much use them for mass resource gathering. I’ve had to put storage boxes on the platform saddle (saddle takes 4000 metal ignots and 4000 hide) because the titan will fill up the 300 inventory slots long before it gets overloaded.
Second tame was last night. Skruggle mentioned that there were two more titans for me to kill (titans give around 4500 hide and 250 primes when you use a 400% chainsaw to harvest the body, plus 28,000xp). As I was gearing up for that, a rare sighting message popped up, a rare rex. The first one I’ve seen on any server.
Found him on the edge of the mountains and desert, a male 210 rex. I promptly tamed him (think he tamed out at 314). But now that I have him, I have to re-do all my boss rexes. His tamed stats are 11440 health, 2480 stamina, 980 weight, 372 melee. Health is 2000 higher than any of my other rexes, including the 162 tek rex I tamed on the Center. But the tek rex has just a little higher melee (378). All in all, this will be a huge improvement to my regular rex herd.
