Taming tip: tame a male and female 150 giga, mate them, then trade the eggs for level 20 hesperonis.
Worst. Tame. Ever.
At least on Xbox, pressing Y to feed is near impossible, especially with a large fish. And if you are trying to tame it on land, and miss the feed with Y and drop the fish it will either A) be eaten by the hesp and give you no credit, or B) float into the air and not allow you to grab it again, even when targeting.
Solo taming a 145 spino and tried a 45 hesp while witing. Spino is almost done and I finally gave up after 3 salmon in a row floated away into orbit.

I don't understand how they've updated to Unreal 5 for Ark Ascended and still can't fix the button to feed these stupid birds π€¦ββοΈ
I punched one once then placed a cage and hid behind it so it ran into the cage and my friend closed it then we just started bringing fish up to the cage and feeding it
Use an itchthyornis to gather fish for it. The buff increases efficiency.
They deal hundred millions of damages to fish... but only does 1 damage to other creatures
ok
The most frustrating thing about taming these guys is not only do they take a lot of fish but the same button to feed them is the same button to drop the fish(i donβt know if itβs different in pc or ps4)and itβs constantly swinging around your face making it annoying because youβre constantly dropping it. Either make it so the controls to feed them are different then dropping it or make ur so itβs not constantly in ur face.
Apparently the taming for this bird is bugged in Ascended because I've been teying to tame a lvl 90 female for hours now. Can't drag the fish corpse to it. It won't let me feed it. I've even tried taming it with fish meat. Has not worked at all.
Tame to this kill fish and drag there body to it and once tamed if you feed them more dead fish corpses it will build up and lay a golden egg which is used as a buff to certain dinos or oil or a player buff
Feeding them sabertooth salmon seems to work the best.
Here's how I tamed one using Ichthyornis. π
What I did was use my Ichthyornis to Hunt fishes and bring the dead bodies for me.
Change his settings to "Hunt and retrieve", put him on your shoulder then you go swim. While you are swimming aim at The fish you want and double tap F (on PC). Ichthyornis will fly, kill the fish and bring the body to you.
Then you take the body to Hesperornis and feed it. Once you get used to it it's very fast and easy. I recommend following Hesp from behind so you dont need to adjust your aim all the time.
You can do the same to tame Otters.
You can easily kill for polmor
