How To Tame Yi Ling Easily and Abilities Explained! | ARK Aberration Ascended

[@toastbloke]

CREATURE UPDATES + Q&A Yi Ling's preferred kibble is EXCEPTIONAL. I was always told to feed creatures their preferred of above, nothing less, and just assumed they didn't eat anything lower. Turns out they do, it's just not good to do due to how ineffective it is. Cheers to @bajcli for the pointers! Always learning in ARK! 🫣 Yi Ling can be bred and once an egg is hatched babies will happily eat meat!

Of the ones I have watched your red trail tip is the best catch so far. GGs

[@toastbloke]

Thanks! I spent ages trying to work out how to time that. Took me until 5am to work it out, so I went to bed and cracked this out when I finally woke up! Why do releases never land on a nice time for me! 🤣

Best taming guide I’ve seen! Thanks Toast 🎉

[@toastbloke]

Thanks Ally! I decided to take my time, and get things worked out properly, instead of just rushing to be first, so I'm glad it shows! ❤️

[@allycat4013]

@@toastbloke it definitely does! I knew you would have a well explained video for us all! Most I’ve seen have been rushed, in God mode & just couldn’t follow 😅😅

[@toastbloke]

Well, I'm taking my time working my way through the rest, so fingers crossed they turn out ok too!

Excellent and super thorough guide. Well done on taking the time to put this brilliant tutorial together. Thank you!

[@toastbloke]

Thank millions! Not a problem! I much prefer having taken my time and figured things out more thoroughly. It's made my brain much happier! 🫣

[@SurvivorDK]

Nice Yi Ling guide! I really like this new creature :)

[@toastbloke]

Thank you! It's actually really fun! Been enjoying whizzing around the map on it!

[@slimey4427]

I love the taming technique! Thank you for the vid it was very easy to follow!

[@toastbloke]

It's a fun one for sure and pretty exciting! I like that it's an actual challenge to a tame, as opposed to a mini game etc. Really enjoyed working this one out!

@@toastbloke it seems like a lot of fun I can’t wait to try it 🤩

Toast is awesome. Thanks. Great guide from a great guy!!

You're too kind! Glad the guides been helpful! 🔥

Best guide when the facecam is above the abilities of the creature.^^ gg

[@toastbloke]

I mean, I could remove the face cam and let you read the controls on my video, and just let you read them rather than explaining them. Oh wait, there would be not point. Those controls are on you screen! Ggs! 😜

Toast you are awesome! Nice guide... now let's get a live stream please

Haha! It's on the way! Sadly, with WC delaying, delaying and delaying again, it's knocked my plans completely off and change my sleep schedule entirely! We'll be back very soon!

After a very long search, I tamed a level 140 Yi Ling and after another long search, I found a level 145 one but it doesn't dive at me even though its feather count is around 80-90. Also, the previous time, as soon as it passed 30, it would dive at me and I could stun it. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

[@toastbloke]

The only time I had that happen, I showed in the video. If I blocked or prevented a dive attack, it would bug out and stop doing them again. Have you manage to get things working again?

[@beastboy5490]

Does anyone know ho to dive bomb with the yin ling on xbox ?

[@toastbloke]

Do you mean to do the rupture effect? I should show you the buttons next to the work rupture on the control list to you right of your screen.

[@SneetchDreams]

Can you make a tutorial on how to join official servers after aberrations launch since it’s FREAKKKIN IMPOSSIBLE.

[@toastbloke]

I know exactly how to fix it... get a company that isn't Nitrado to run them! I don't get how this far into the games life official servers can't launch smoothly!

[@bajcli]

There's nothing special about this tame and kibbles, that's just how kibbles work. All dinos have a preferred kibble; that & any kibble that's of a higher quality will give the increased taming %. Any kibble lower than that will ALSO give taming %, but only a very small amount (something like 2/3 of the value you'd get from a raw meat feed, or similar to a cooked meat feed for carnivores). Yi Ling must have a preferred kibble that's better than basic (that's why you didn't get a lot of taming% out of it), but probably lower than exceptional. It could be exceptional but since it feels like a midgame tame and none of the AB tames need exceptional kibble, I doubt it. Anyway, great guide, just thought I'd share some info.

[@toastbloke]

Oh my word, I've just jumped on to test and you're right! I was always told to use preferred or above for a kibble tame, as preferred and above would always tame at the same effectiveness, and not to use anything below. I must have assumed that was because they wouldn't eat any kibble below because of this, and how other taming mechanics work! Obviously I still won't use anything less than preferred, BUT this is great to know for future testing! Turns out this things preferred kibble is Exceptional kibble! 🤯

[@bajcli]

@@toastbloke Yeah, kibble mechanics is a bit of an overlooked "science" because by the time you set up a greenhouse, it's usually easy enough to get a few Yuties or Deinos and at that point you can just keep making Extraordinary kibble and not really bother with anything else. Why make 5-6 different kinds if you can just use the best for everything, after all? Anyway, good to know it's Exceptional, since Extraordinary is kind of a pain to get on Ab (or at least by the time you can breed Rock Drakes for eggs, you probably won't really need a Yi Ling so it wouldn't make a ton of sense)

[@udamthewaster9454]

Really wish it was able to shoot on foot

[@toastbloke]

It would be nice right! I guess I'll just be latching to trees to shoot, because it's so much easier!

[@jcruz4018]

Are they breedable?

[@toastbloke]

They are indeed! 🔥

[@RizzyMonkeyVr]

Taming a Yi ling is a cancerous treatment to me

[@toastbloke]

I don't mind taming them, but I'm sick of the wild ones just whizzing all over shooting feathers at everything in sight. Absolute, uncalled for mayhem!

Hey toast its me polloton, i changed my profile and name, YOU MIGHT NOT RECOGNIZE ME AT FIRST BUT I CAN ASURE YOU, IT'S STILL ME! I ALLWAYS come BACK!!!!

Easily the worst taming method in the game 💀

[@toastbloke]

I honestly didn't mind this one! Was fun to figure out. It's better than the shasta and pyro at the very least! 😅

[@arrank07]

@@toastbloke ye tbf, more like worst in terms of how difficult it is to do if you don’t have the reaction speed of the flash 😂

[@toastbloke]

@arrank07 You’re not wrong! Honestly, once I realised what you had to do, I couldn’t do it again, until I spotted those red trails. Makes it so much easier!

[@SteveFisher0571]

@@arrank07 Make a 2x2 box with 2 high door frames, no need for ceilings, run around outside the box to get the feather count up to 30 then get inside, when it does the swoop attack it gets stuck on the doorframes and makes it easy to hit with the plant z

[@WinWar-The-Reign]

I like a challenge for taming

[@cameronbaggett2248]

Worst taming method in the game bruh so stupid

[@udamthewaster9454]

The amaga is worse

[@toastbloke]

It's definitely not the worst! I like this one personally though, as it takes a bit of skill and preparation, and was fun to figure out. I'm more sick of them constantly shooting about the place spitting feathers everywhere. Like relaxxxxxx!
