Changes: Taming Tier 1

Revision as of 09:35, 3 January 2019

This article is a stub. You can help ATLAS Wiki by expanding it.

ATLAS provides the ability to tame wild animals and pet or domesticate them.

Many (if not most) of the creatures in Atlas will be tamable but the developers have indicated that the taming mechanics will be an entirely new method that is not like ARK: Survival Evolved taming system.

Early information indicates that some creatures are tamable only for a specific time period and then will either return to being wild or will die (i.e. dragons are presumed to be a creature that is only tamable for a short period of time while something like a horse may be tamable and usable indefinitely).

Tameable creatures

These are the known tamable creatures and their taming requirements.

Passive Tames

For passive taming place the required item in the last slot of your toolbar.

Cow - Rushes

Bola Tames

For Bola taming, first reduce your desired target's health below 20% without killing it, then equip your bola from your hotbar and throw it at the target. Then feed it its favorite food.

Giraffe - Beet

Rhino - Turnip

Elephant - Wheat

Tiger - Raw Prime Meat

Lion - Raw Prime Meat

Bear - Honey

Bull - Thatch

Wolf - Bone

Pig - Maize

Seagull - Raw Prime Fish Meat

Vulture - Rotten Meat

Passive Taming

Standing near the animal and feeding it is favorite food will increase it's taming meter. When the Bar at the bottom of the name plate fills to 100% the animal is tamed and you are required to name them.

Bola Taming

The animal must be damaged to below 20%, then a Bola will be able to be used on Animal. When the Animal is Bola'ed they will be knocked to the ground. You will need to approach the mouth of the animal and feed it is favorite food. Animals will attack if you are too close, but you need to be close to the mouth to get the option to feed it. Repeat damaging and trapping with the Bola--then feeding--until the animal's tame meter is full. When the Bar at the bottom of the name plate fills to 100% the animal is tamed and you are required to name them.

Too long of a gap between feedings, and the taming progress starts to decline. This is indicated by the feeding dialog switching to red lettering.

It seems to be best to approach the animal from the back in order to feed it. There is a "sweet spot" where you probably can't be hit by the attack. But terrain or structures can make this approach difficult.

Bola Taming Tip

Build a "taming trap" (see gallery) using Small Wood Gateway, Wood Fence Support, and Wood Wall with windows. After you get the animal in the trap, you can let its taming meter reset to zero while you stock up and prepare. Using a shield to approach the creature while it is bound can cancel or mitigate the damage of their attack, allowing you to get in there and feed it. But fully fed and hydrated, with a large supply of bolas. Because this is going to take a long time and be very difficult. And have someone watch your back and deal with the roaming predators as you work.

For both types of taming, be aware that you can pick up and carry animals that are unconscious, although they can be very heavy. This can be a boon if you need to get either a passive or hostile tame candidate into a corral and away from roving predators.
