Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a fjordhawk? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a fjordhawk.
Use a high level Ovis. Mine took 3-4 bites and boom insta tamed. And it didn’t drop that much in taming effectiveness
Slaughter imprinted ovis. it will black box them, and infinite tame.
They take your death bag if you die. I mean the wild ones when I say that. Wear stuff to keep you good from the cold, bring food, and try not to die.
To tame you need to breed sheep. Bring like 2 or 3 in cryopods to wherever you are going to tame them. Kill near the fjordhawk and boom, You'll never lose your items again. They'll die if you get swarmed by wyverns though
Careful not to get mixed up with other Fjordhawk that might be flying around as multipulte will follow you making it a little hard to keep track of the one you want lol
I used my argy to bring and creatures to a 4x4 pen where the fjordhawk were. Killed creature with my crossbow and let the hawks chow down. This method took me 5 minutes to get a complete tame versus trying to kill brontos and loosing all taming due to them getting hit. 4x4 wood or stone foundations 8 doorframe matching foundations and 8 walls again matching foundations. This will trap any creature an army can carry and make for quick and easy taming.
In order to tame you need to kill wild (or tame Dino’s) AFTER it has attached itself to you (It will fly around in circles above you). The larger the Dino (Rexes, Brontos, Gigas, etc) will give better taming effectiveness
While the hawk is eating. If you can find the correct angle near the hawk you can use a sanguine potion for added 30% tameing progress. I have not figured the correct distance for this so i ended up jumping around like some mad man doing a dance while mashing that potion near the hawk.
Breed up some mutated sheep- then let them sit in cryos for a while. When you chuck em out, level their health. 1-2 of those will 100% tame a max level. Up if helpful
If you die near a fjordhawk while trying to tame it, it can and will fly off with your bag
Kill dinos and other wild creatures around you to tame. The larger the dino the more taming percentage you will receive
Breed the Ovis
Equip any melee ( chainsaw or sword would do )
Hold E and slaughter the Ovis in front of the Fjordhawk
Remember to raise max health for the Ovis for better taming effect. You can also use Desmodus’s Elixir to get 30% for free
Tamed a 148 with 2 tamed ovis with health at 1,000. Very simple! Just chucked out Ovis, slaughtered, and repeated.
Might be just like most other flying tames and just knock it out feed it kibble or prime and give it narcotics. Might be a passive tame where you feed it and it flys away and you feed it again and repeat or maybe there’s some new way to tame it. It will likely be in a slightly high up or cold area cause of its feathers to stop it from freezing. It will be a mid game tame not cause it’s hard to tame but where it is might be hard to survive in early game. -lava
Definitely worth breeding after you tame a pair since it is one of the harder creatures to tame
You can use your dino to kill creatures with a much lower taming effectiveness BUT you can't be mounted when it eats. Tested with my wyvern and barbecued brontos.
July 2, ovis work. Level their hp. Kill a small dino first to make sure tame bar goes up. After it eats the first dino you can sac a sheep. If it won't agro to the sheep, kill a small dino like a dodo then drag the sheep body over top of it. You have to be quick but it will eat the sheep.
If you're on the island Vardiland try to pull the hawk to the Avalanche, and go to town on the penguins. Ive tamed 5 hawks at high levels this way and it works. Takes about 20-25 minutes. Good luck everyone
Bigger and higher hp dinos like brontos and diplos work best for taming.kill a dino near your bird of choice and wait for it to eat the dead dino.tamed dinos seem to give less progress then wild kills.they can and will follow you a good bit after 1st kill
I would recommend using tamed Ovis as I had used 2 imprinted Ovis with 2k health and managed to tame it.
If your on a pve server (like me) you can use a fire wyvern to kill your Ovis there may be other ways but this worked for me
