How to tame a Compy in ARK Survival Ascended

The Compy belongs to a genus of bipedal, carnivorous theropod dinosaurs that existed during the Late Jurassic period. In ARK Survival Ascended, it's a curious animal that is drawn to any foreign entity. When this dinosaur is alone, it doesn't pose a threat and only observes humans. However, when they're in larger packs, they can get aggressive and attack anything in sight.

Taming a Compy requires a few necessary items — such as Tranquilizer Darts, Flak Armor, and a preferred food item — to complete the taming process.

You will require one of the following food items to tame this entity:

• Raw Mutton
• Raw Prime Meat
• Raw Prime Fish Meat

Raw Mutton is the recommended food item here, as it will ensure the taming process is completed as quickly as possible. However, the required quantity of this item will vary based on the level of the Compy, so having it in excess is necessary.

To tame this creature, you must separate it from its group or find one that's alone. This is necessary as these animals have the quickest recovery time after being knocked out, so isolating one of them will make the taming process less arduous.

Your Flax Armor will provide significant protection against damage from the Compy, allowing you to shoot Tranquilizers at it with minimal worry. Once the torpor meter is full, this dinosaur will be rendered unconscious for a brief moment. Immediately place the Raw Mutton in its inventory to feed it and finish the taming process.
