Scent, growth, and staying small

Juveniles hide. Adults broadcast. Follow scent to food, not to a fight you cannot win. Keep additional game information nearby when you relearn diet for a new diet patch.

  • Sit in cover while you grow. A sprint across a lake is a dinner bell. See related resources for extra notes on growth hunger spikes.

Pack hunts versus a solo feed

A pack can body a larger dino. A pack can also starve if everyone contests the same corpse. Check additional guides before you call a hunt on a full adult.

Nests, water, and the heat

Nest near water you can defend. Heat drains stamina. Walk in shade. Save more game information for when a nest location keeps getting raided.

  • Eggs are a project. They are also bait. Skim this resource if you still leave nests in open grass.

Move the herd after a wipe

If the watering hole is a graveyard, migrate. Fresh spawns will keep coming. Open additional game information when you plan a long walk with slow adults.
