What is a fjordhawk used for? fjordhawk battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Hands down, the best shoulder pet if you're the type to run into danger with no plan...leeeeeeroyyy jenkinssss style!
Had a plan, deep dive for oil with my hawk pet and "Flipper" (set to passive and not following, smart right?)...that's it, that's all the planning...got electrocuted on the first run. Crap.... recovered corpse and found my hawk, flipper isn't dead but zero clue where it went....jumped on my frog, "Frogette' for a rescue and tried again...yep, that's right fried again. Now I'm 2 water tames down and hawk is gone.....was able to rescue the beast frog and my 2nd corps but no loot.....no hawk in site. Ran to base and "lil bird" (yeah, I'm not a creative namer) was chilling next to the bed with my bag of loot.....best shoulder pet, otter is good, but hawk will bring back your stuff!!
Not only does it retrieve your items if you die (everything - IF it can handle the weight!) but it can fetch bags for you!! On Xbox, double tap Y with the bag in your line of sight and Fjordhawk will retrieve it for you. It will highlight bags with a little icon of a skull and crossbones in a black circle that pulses. Hope that helps. Thanks !!
These creatures cant apparently be picked up by anything, can't be affected by bolas , and they can only fit through dinosaur gates so i expect that they might be quite big. They can also ‘sense’ prey / dinos that is injured for you (if tamed.) If its a wild Fjordhawk and you are quite injured, it will attack you if it think it will be able to kill you, unless you have strong armour. They will also eat /scavenge Injured or Dead dinos. They also will retrieve your items when you die, not all of your items tho. But it will retrieve as much as it can carry (when tamed.) I hope this helped you understand better about the Fjordhawk before its released. :)
These creatures make the game way easier.
It can retrieve your stuff when you die, and show icons on top of creatures, such as how much health it has left, or if it is dead.
They also make obtaining wyvern eggs extremely easier thanks to Syntac (ARK Youtuber), he does it by having a fjordhawk on your shoulder, go to a wyvern trench and find an egg, quickly grab the wyvern egg, and eat organic polymer.
Soon the fjordhawk will retrieve your stuff, they also have unlimited weight.

One of the easiest ways to tame is with the Kairukus as they spawn in big groups instead of looking for bigger animals and losing your hawk. Also they can carry a infinite amount of weight since they don’t put your items in there inventory, rather they just pick up the bag with their claws and bring it to you…
