Taming Steps
1. Prepare your gear
Bring Tranq Arrows or Tranq Darts, a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle, Narcotics or Narcoberries, and bug repellent.

Eclipsar — Background & Lore
Eclipsar is the species shared by two Dragontopia dragons in ASA: the light-aligned Lumina and the shadow-based Umbra. They are variants of the same creature, and each fights better when the other is near.
Taming
The Lumina is not knocked out. Bring it to about 20% health with a firearm, a shotgun works well, and it grabs you and starts a riding phase. Finish three challenges while riding to complete the bond: a memory sequence, a target flight against light beacons, and a dive through obstacles. 
Superior Kibble and 
Raw Mutton are its preferred foods. Its saddle unlocks at level 65.
Uses
- Eclipsar Synergy: a Lumina and an Umbra within 100 m of each other both gain speed, damage reduction and stamina recovery.
- Draco Fury: damage dealt fills a rage meter, which is lost when the dragon takes damage. At full Fury the dragon is briefly invulnerable to non-structure damage, hits harder and faster, and shuts down nearby Tek equipment.
Tips
Tame both forms if you can. The pair is much stronger together than either one alone.
