Locating: Lymantria is a knockout tame and cannot be tamed passively. To tame a Lymantria in Ark Survival Ascended, first locate it and approach it cautiously. The beast will fly away, so if you're using a large flying or land tame to look for it, leave the tame behind before approaching it.

Preparation: Once you're near the Lymantria, immobilize it using a bola. This will stop it from running away or attacking you. Once you use a bola, put a tent on top of it, making sure that it doesn't fly away. After the beast has been trapped, knock it down using standard or tanquiliser arrows. Refrain from using powerful weapons as the Lymantria has low health and will die if attacked aggressively.

Preparation: The Lymantira will attack you with its spores when you're trying to knock it down; be careful and move backward when that happens. Once the beast has successfully been knocked down, start the taming process by feeding it Mejorberries or Regular Kibble. The taming bar will start filling once you feed it its preferred food.

Filling the taming bar can take some time, and you must protect the Lymantria and yourself from aggressive creatures in the area. Once the bar is full, you have successfully tamed the Lymantria.
