Quick answer:<\/strong> To tame an Oviraptor in ARK Survival Ascended you knock it out and feed it eggs: heavier eggs are better, starting with Giganotosaurus and then Quetzal eggs. A level 150 Oviraptor needs 2 Fertilized Giganotosaurus Eggs and about 10 minutes at official 1x rates; on Tharyon, with 8x taming, 1 egg and roughly 5 minutes are enough.<\/p>\n

The Oviraptor is a small egg thief. It is no fighter, but once tamed it speeds up egg laying for nearby females and can collect eggs around your base. For kibble farms and breeders it is a very handy helper.<\/p>\n

How to tame an Oviraptor step by step<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Get the heaviest eggs you can: Giganotosaurus or Quetzal eggs. Small eggs mean you need many more.<\/li>\n
  2. Hold it in place with a bola before it runs off.<\/li>\n
  3. Knock it out with a club, Slingshot or tranquilizer arrows. It has little health: avoid strong weapons.<\/li>\n
  4. Put the eggs in its inventory and keep an eye on the torpor bar.<\/li>\n
  5. Protect it from predators until the tame finishes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These numbers come from ARK’s taming formula for a level 150 Oviraptor. The 1x column is the official rate and the 8x column is Tharyon’s rate. They are estimates: hitting the sleeping creature or a game patch can change them slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Where to find the Oviraptor in ARK Ascended<\/h2>\n

    It is a small feathered dinosaur found on many official maps. Because it is skittish it runs as soon as it sees you, so arrive on something fast or with a bola ready.<\/p>\n

    Official ARK Survival Ascended maps where it spawns: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Extinction, Valguero, Genesis: Part 1, Lost Island.<\/p>\n
