Tips & Strategies
Anyone else find out that when you log off or they leave your shoulder they fly to some random location (like the top of the world or next to funky rock formation) and then just don’t come back? I have two hawks- one’s called chad and he doesn’t do this but the others called PainToTame and always does this… now that I think about it it might be the name… eh, I treat them the same and PainToTame is a higher level, but she lives in a cryo until I need her… then she runs off. WHICH IS WHY SHES KEPT IN A CRYO. Anyone else share my predicament?

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 !!
