How do I tame a high-level Fjordur Fenris├║lfr in ARK: Survival Evolved?

Taming a high-level Fjordur Fenris├║lfr in ARK: Survival Evolved is a challenging but rewarding task. The Fenris├║lfr is a unique creature found on the Fjordur map, resembling a massive wolf with powerful abilities. It is a carnivore and requires a specific approach to tame. Below is a detailed guide to help you successfully tame this creature.

First, letÔÇÖs discuss the mechanics involved. The Fenris├║lfr is a knockout tame, meaning you must render it unconscious before feeding it the appropriate food. Unlike some creatures, it cannot be passively tamed. To knock it out, you will need to use tranquilizer weapons such as a crossbow with tranq arrows or a longneck rifle with tranquilizer darts. The Fenris├║lfr has high health and torpor, so you will need a significant amount of ammunition and possibly narcotics to keep it unconscious during the taming process. Its preferred food for taming is raw mutton, which provides the highest taming effectiveness, but you can also use raw prime meat or raw meat if mutton is unavailable.

Now, letÔÇÖs go through the step-by-step process. Start by locating a Fenris├║lfr in the wild. These creatures are typically found in the snowy or mountainous regions of Fjordur. Once youÔÇÖve found one, youÔÇÖll need to prepare for the taming process. Build a taming pen to trap the Fenris├║lfr. A simple pen can be made using stone or metal foundations, walls, and a large gate. Make sure the pen is large enough to accommodate the Fenris├║lfr but small enough to prevent it from escaping. Lure the Fenris├║lfr into the pen using a fast mount like a Raptor or a flying creature like an Argentavis. Once itÔÇÖs inside, close the gate to trap it.

Next, begin knocking it out. Use your tranq arrows or darts to shoot the Fenris├║lfr. Aim for the head to maximize torpor gain. Be cautious, as the Fenris├║lfr can deal significant damage if it breaks free or attacks you. Keep a safe distance and use the walls of the pen to protect yourself. Once the Fenris├║lfr is unconscious, quickly place raw mutton or other preferred food in its inventory. Monitor its torpor level and use narcotics or narcoberries to keep it sedated. The taming process will take some time, so be patient and ensure the Fenris├║lfr remains unconscious.

Here are some important tips and considerations. Always bring extra supplies, including tranq arrows, narcotics, and food. The Fenris├║lfrÔÇÖs torpor drops quickly, so youÔÇÖll need to keep a close eye on it. If youÔÇÖre playing solo, consider using a taming calculator to determine the exact amount of resources needed. If youÔÇÖre in a tribe, coordinate with your teammates to divide tasks, such as gathering resources, building the pen, and monitoring the taming process. Additionally, avoid taming in areas with high predator activity, as other creatures may attack the Fenris├║lfr or you during the process.

Common mistakes to avoid include underestimating the Fenris├║lfrÔÇÖs strength and torpor requirements. Some players may not bring enough tranq arrows or narcotics, leading to the creature waking up before the taming is complete. Another mistake is not securing the taming area, which can result in the Fenris├║lfr escaping or being killed by other predators. Always scout the area and clear it of threats before starting the taming process.

For advanced techniques, consider using a taming pen with a trapdoor or a bola to immobilize the Fenris├║lfr temporarily. This can make it easier to knock it out without taking damage. You can also use a taming effectiveness booster like kibble or a taming calculator to optimize the process. If youÔÇÖre playing on a server with boosted taming rates, take advantage of these settings to reduce the time and resources required.

Resource requirements include a significant amount of tranq arrows or darts, narcotics, and raw mutton or prime meat. Prepare these in advance to avoid running out during the taming process. YouÔÇÖll also need materials to build a taming pen, such as stone or metal structures. If youÔÇÖre in a tribe, assign roles to gather these resources efficiently.

In conclusion, taming a high-level Fjordur Fenris├║lfr requires careful preparation, patience, and coordination. By following the steps outlined above and avoiding common mistakes, you can successfully tame this powerful creature and add it to your arsenal. Whether youÔÇÖre playing solo or in a tribe, the Fenris├║lfrÔÇÖs strength and abilities make it a valuable asset for survival and exploration in ARK: Survival Evolved.
