Noglin Location and Taming Instructions
In the vast and diverse world of creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved, the Noglin stands out as a unique and fascinating addition. This small and mischievous creature has the ability to control the minds of other creatures, making it a valuable asset in your survival journey. If you're looking to find and tame a Noglin, or simply want to learn more about this peculiar creature, you've come to the right place. In this article, we'll explore the Noglin's location and provide step-by-step taming instructions.
Locating a Noglin: Noglins can be found primarily in the Genesis Part 2 DLC expansion of ARK: Survival Evolved. Within this expansion, they inhabit the Lunar biome. The Lunar biome is characterized by its low gravity environment and lunar landscape, which offers a unique setting for encountering these creatures.
To reach the Lunar biome, you'll need to progress through the missions in Genesis Part 2 until you unlock access to it. Once you're there, keep an eye out for the Noglin's distinctive appearance. They resemble small, bipedal reptiles with large heads and glowing blue eyes. Noglins can often be found near the rock formations and craters scattered throughout the Lunar biome.
Taming a Noglin: Taming a Noglin requires a strategic approach, as their ability to control other creatures can complicate the process. Here's a step-by-step guide to taming a Noglin:
Prepare the necessary supplies: Before attempting to tame a Noglin, make sure you have the required items. You'll need a Noglin Bola, crafted in the Genesis Part 2 DLC, and some tranquilizing ammunition to incapacitate the creature temporarily.
Spot a suitable target: Look for a creature nearby that you'd like the Noglin to control. This can include smaller creatures like Dodos or larger ones such as Raptors or even Rexes. It's crucial to choose a creature that you can handle once it's under the Noglin's control.
Bola the Noglin: Once you've spotted a Noglin and selected a target creature, use the Noglin Bola to immobilize the Noglin. This will prevent it from escaping while you proceed with the taming process.
Tranquilize the target: With the Noglin temporarily immobilized, approach the target creature and use tranquilizing ammunition to render it unconscious. Be mindful of the creature's health and avoid accidentally killing it.
Transfer control: Once the target creature is unconscious, approach it with the Noglin still balled up. Interact with the target creature and select the option to transfer control to the Noglin.
Monitor the taming process: After transferring control, the Noglin will start taming the target creature. Keep a close eye on their progress. The taming time will depend on the level and species of the target creature.
Provide protection: While the Noglin tames the target creature, you'll need to protect them from external threats. Ensure the area is secure and defend against potential predators or other dangers that may interrupt the process.
Finalize the tame: Once the taming process is complete, the Noglin will release control of the creature. Approach the creature and claim it as your own. Congratulations! You have successfully tamed a Noglin.
Remember, Noglins can only control one creature at a time. If you wish to tame multiple creatures using Noglins, you'll need to repeat the process for each new target.
