How To Tame A Lystrosaurus In Ark

So, you've set your sights on taming a Lystrosaurus in Ark? Good choice! These little guys are more than just dino-fodder; they're surprisingly helpful and, let's be honest, ridiculously cute.

The Ultimate Pocket Pal

First, find your future friend. They’re usually wandering around peaceful areas, looking like adorable, oversized guinea pigs. Keep your eyes peeled!

Once you've spotted one, approach with caution. These aren't exactly apex predators, but they will run if spooked. Think ninja, not rampaging Rex.

Forget bolas, tranq arrows, and all that jazz. Taming a Lystrosaurus is all about the love. Or, well, the food. Specifically, berries.

The Berry Buffet

Simply walk up to your chosen Lystrosaurus and gently offer it berries. They prefer Mejo berries, the purple ones, but they'll happily munch on others too.

Be patient! It might take a few offerings. Think of it as building a friendship, one berry at a time.

You'll see a taming bar slowly filling up. Keep those berries coming until it's full, and *bam!* You've got yourself a tame!

Why Tame a Lystrosaurus?

Now, you might be wondering, "Why go through all this trouble for a creature that looks like a walking potato?"

Here's the secret: Lystrosaurus are experience point boosters. When you pet them, they give you (and nearby tames) a temporary XP buff!

It's like having a tiny, furry, four-legged cheerleader cheering you on as you level up your character. Who wouldn't want that?

More Than Just an XP Boost

Plus, they're just plain adorable. Watching your Lystrosaurus waddle around your base is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

They also make surprisingly good alarm systems. They may be small, but they have a knack for detecting danger. Consider it a prehistoric doorbell.

Imagine this: You're crafting in your base, and suddenly your Lystrosaurus starts making a ruckus. Boom! Raptor incoming. Thanks, buddy!

A Few Final Tips

Keep your Lystrosaurus safe! They're not exactly built for combat. Keep them inside your base, or assign them bodyguards.

Consider giving them a funny name. Something like "Berry," "Nugget," or "Professor XP." The possibilities are endless!

And finally, remember to pet your Lystrosaurus regularly. They deserve all the love and attention you can give them. After all, they're your tiny, XP-boosting, alarm-system extraordinaire!

“Taming a Lystrosaurus is a simple way to boost your XP, but it is also a fun way to add some cheer to your base”

So, go forth and tame! Embrace the adorableness, reap the XP rewards, and enjoy the company of your new, pocket-sized pal. You won't regret it!

And remember, even the smallest creatures can make a big difference in the world of Ark. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a Lystrosaurus named 'Doofus' who needs a cuddle.
