Much like its predecessor, Survival Evolved, taming remains an essential and central aspect of gameplay in ARK: Survival Ascended<\/a>. While taming is typically intended to be a task demanding resources, skill, and strategy, there are occasions when you simply want to tame a dinosaur without complications. This is where force taming comes into the picture, and if you’re interested in understanding how this process functions, we have the information you need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below, you can access a quick and comprehensive guide on how to forcefully tame any dinosaur or creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, whether it’s for riding, hunting, or safeguarding your property, it can all be done with force taming and it works instantly, skipping all the legwork usually require to tame these beasts. So, without further delay, let’s dive right in.<\/span><\/p>\n

ARK: Survival Ascended: How To Force Tame <\/span><\/h2>\n

Forcing a creature into submission is generally not the conventional or advisable method for taming in the game. Taming creatures stands as a fundamental element of gameplay, deliberately designed to consume your time, and resources, and demand strategic thinking. <\/span><\/p>\n

Below is a breakdown of how to use the console as well as the “ForceTame” console command to instantly tame any dinosaur in the game. (Picture: Shane \/ Studio Wildcard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nevertheless, if you find yourself in single-player mode or on a non-official server where admin privileges are granted, you may have the ability to employ commands<\/a> that facilitate the act of “force taming” a creature. We’ll now dissect the process of employing console commands, as well as the specific command for force taming in ARK: Survival Ascended:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Accessing the Console:<\/span><\/strong>\n
      \n
    1. On PC, you can access the console by pressing the “Tab” key.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. For Xbox, pause the game and simultaneously press LB + RB + X + Y to access the admin bar.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. On PlayStation, pause the game and press L1 + R1 + Square + Triangle together.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. On the Switch, pause the game and press ZL + ZR + X + Y concurrently.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    5. Enabling Cheats (if necessary):<\/span><\/strong> If you’re operating in single-player mode or on a server with cheat functionality deactivated, you may need to enable cheats initially. To do this, type “EnableCheats YourAdminPassword,” replacing “YourAdminPassword” with the admin password for your server or a single-player game.<\/span><\/li>\n
    6. Utilizing the ForceTame Command:<\/span><\/strong> Once you’re prepared, simply enter “admin cheat ForceTame” while pointing at the creature you wish to tame. This command will instantly force-tame any creature within your crosshairs, directly in front of you. An advantage of using this admin command is that dinos do not require saddles to be ridden. However, be aware that the absence of a saddle results in significantly reduced armor.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      While the concept of using this command to tame even the most formidable and aggressive creatures in the game may be appealing, it’s essential to acknowledge that the use of cheats and force taming can substantially alter your overall gaming experience, potentially diminishing long-term enjoyment. <\/span><\/p>\n

      The use of force taming can be a fun feature to enjoy, but it does sever a core aspect of the game’s difficulty, so use it judiciously if you’re looking for a real challenge. (Picture: Shane \/ Studio Wildcard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

      Taming creatures through the standard method, which involves providing the appropriate food and tranquilizing them, is a fundamental aspect of ARK: Survival Ascended<\/a> and is recommended for a more gratifying and challenging gameplay experience. However, if you’re less concerned about this and simply want to utilize the ForceTame command, feel free to do so to your heart’s content!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
