Understanding the Ferox’s Behavior
Before we dive into the taming process, it’s essential to understand the Ferox’s behavior. The Ferox is a highly aggressive species that can be found in the snow biome. When you encounter a Ferox, it will automatically follow you, making it challenging to tame. However, you can use this to your advantage by luring it to a safe location with food.
Pre-Taming Preparation
To set yourself up for success when taming a Ferox, make sure you:
- Have a suitable creature for taming (Rex, Argentavis, or Troodon works well)
- Have Element nearby (more on that later)
- Build a base with enough space for the Ferox to morph into its monster form (approximately 5×6 blocks)
- Stockpile plenty of food and snacks for the Ferox after taming
Feeding the Ferox: The Key to Taming
The Ferox must be fed Element to allow it to transform into its monster form. To achieve this, follow these steps:
- Start with a Ferox Near You: Use a bird or a small dinosaur to lead a Ferox towards you. This will require patience and strategy, but it’s essential to tame a Ferox.
- Use Element Close by: Once the Ferox is near, place some Element nearby. You can do this by opening the hotbar and selecting an Element slot.
- Feed the Ferox: The Ferox will automatically start feeding on the Element, and after a while, it will transform into its monster form.
- Survive and Repeat: The Ferox will remain in its monster form for a short duration, giving you a brief window to tame it.
Taming the Ferox
Now that the Ferox is in its monster form, it’s time to tame it!
- Open your Taming Menu: This can be accessed by holding the ‘T’ button on your controller or ‘T’ key on PC.
- Set the Taming Option to "Ferox": Choose the Ferox species from the taming options.
- Confirm Taming: A short confirmation window will pop up, asking if you want to tame the Ferox. Click ‘Yes’ to proceed.
- Wait for the Process to Complete: The Ferox will begin to spin around, indicating that it’s being tamed.
- Tamed Ferox: Once the process is complete, the Ferox will now recognize you as its owner!
Post-Taming Strategies
After taming the Ferox, it’s essential to:
- Give it plenty of food to sustain it
- Avoid keeping it in small or enclosed spaces
- Encourage it to stay healthy and happy
- Avoid attacking or fighting with tamed Ferox
By following these guidelines, you’ll be well on your way to taming the mighty Ferox and utilizing its incredible abilities in the world of Ark: Survival Evolved.
