Taming Steps
1. Prepare your gear
Bring Tranq Arrows or Tranq Darts, a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle, Narcotics or Narcoberries, and bug repellent.
2. Locate the creature
Find a wild Enigmasaur on supported maps. Check the spawn map and bring a fast mount or a flyer for transport.
3. Knock it out

Enigmasaur — Background & Lore
The Enigmasaur is an announced creature for ARK: Survival Ascended that has not been released yet. It is listed as the seventh creature in the paid Fantastic Tames DLC, with no map named so far.
It has a chameleon-like look on a two-legged, theropod-style body, and its dossier calls it a master of disguise that mimics other creatures and keeps their useful traits. One example: a trait learned from a 
Pulmonoscorpius lets its attacks stun prey even while it is in 
Rex form.
Taming
It is listed as tameable and rideable, but not breedable. No full taming guide exists yet; the dossier only hints that it accepts survivors who have tamed the creature it is currently mimicking.
