3. 🏹 Complex Taming of the Ossidon: Torpor, Specific Actions, and Environmental Challenges
- 🎯 Taming the Ossidon is one of the most complex in the game.
- 😴 You must first inflict torpor with a rifle or arrows (no headshot bonus, penalty to the skull).
- 🐎 Once the torpor is half reached, you must mount the Ossidon and perform specific actions.
- 🎯 You need to increase the timing and efficiency by hitting enemies with ice spikes and trapping them in the mucus ball.
- 🌍 The environment plays a crucial role: you need a place with enough creatures for the objectives, but not too aggressive to prevent the Ossidon from being killed.
- ⚠️ The mucus ball does not trap all dinos (dragweight limitation).
- 🛡️ Tamed dinos can help with taming by being used for the mucus ball objectives.
- 🔄 The process must be repeated several times, reapplying torpor after each ejection.
