What are tips for fjordhawk? Tips and strategies for fjordhawk in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Build a sealed trap dino gates on each end. Double doors along sides. Walk around on giga killing things... Walk to trap. A flock will follow you around. Lure the one you want into trap. Throw out ovis...kill... rinse repeat till tamed.
Best method I have found. Takes about 4 or 5 ovis for high level on 3x
Penguins are excellent for taming one of these guys, if you can get near an area with a bunch of penguins, you can totally tame one early game
FJHawk will not recover your bag if it contains a artifact. Carry a artifact when taming and you won’t lose your inventory if you die. Share this tip
Use an max level Ovis to tame a bunch of them
A Dino can be used to kill wild animals however whilst the hawk eats if you are on a mount it will not gain any taming. You need to kill wild animals then before it eats jump off mount for it to tame
You have to kill the creatures yourself. You can’t do it while riding a Dino
Have a friend join you, kill your friend over and over again (make sure their inventory in empty), feed to hawk I told me about 30m but it works
Once you are spotted by a fjordhawk it will follow you stealing the bodies of things you’ve killed, kind of assisting in battle, and attacking any pet you can pick up (shoulder and or 2-handed carry). Hitting them the first time usually does 0 damage and a weird “puff” effect. Roars from a rex cannot properly stun them until the hawk’s guard is down. There is no escape once they begin following you, the only way to not lead them straight to your base is to kill them.
I tried using rexes and it didn’t work I killed them with Shotgun and pike didn’t work they just ignore it they were tamed rexes
Honestly just go to the forest where these guys are and kill something, then step back and wait for the hawks to come. They will come if they are nearby. Repeat process in different areas until you’ve got one! I have many now.
Tame a pair of Ovis and breed baby ovis. Pump pathing but health in it. This will give you more taming %. It does not need to be healed.
Ovis is best to tame, level doesn't matter. A 150 hawk gets 2.2% per ovis, meaning around 46 ovis, and these must be fed immediately one after another, you only get a couple minutes before it starts draining. It is not like the otter which doesn't fade over time
Be advised! I’m currently experiencing a taming bug that’s preventing progression. I fed one hawk about 30 ovis and it never even started the tame.
For taming a Fjordhawk, I tamed a Rock Elemental as no regular creature can harvest is letting you tame an infinite amount so as long as the body doesn't spoil.
Taming tip: Lvled sheep will tame them quickly.
It would be cool if you had to to fight it and take its eggs from the nest
