Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a fjordhawk? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a fjordhawk.
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.
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
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
If you can’t tame a rock elemental then go and find some ovis and use them. The Fjordhawk will instantly tame up and not drop in taming effectiveness. It’s the best I’ve found in testing. Still can’t 100% tame though
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.
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
It would be cool if you had to to fight it and take its eggs from the nest
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
I think that we might have to sneak up then feed it and wait for it to be hungry again the best food for it would be fish or special kibble I use it all the time it tame in 1 or 2 or 3 times before tame it be 2 or 1 sometimes 3.
Fjordhawks are somewhat a little hard to tame according to me. You have to kill things for the progress bar to get up higher. You cannot be on a mount while completing this process.
You have to kill the creatures yourself. You can’t do it while riding a Dino
It seems taming doesn't increase if it eats while you're mounted on a creature, so if you're using a creature to get kills be sure to dismount before it starts eating
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.
Cool idea for tameing
You can find these birds in forests or cliff side livening in nest when you encounter one it is passive unless you hurt them and when you find a female hawk it will come towards you like sino and ask for different items rather being sticks fiber cementing paste thatch and once givin will go towards its nest consign back every once in awhile and when you give it something it adds it to its nest different items adds different things like cementing paste adds a random grey pastey looking speck on nest thatch adds thatch looking things wood sticks fibers look like fiber and after the first tame it will be yours as in a passive able to check inventory tame like gachaclause and you have to feed it food every once in awhile eventually will lay an egg which you can take maybe 3 hours after partial tame and every 72 hours after first egg
This is just an ideas that I wish will be added since the last few free Dino’s had a really different tame method instead of passive or KO
From my experience it will not eat insects or bugs when being tamed.
This lil guy is a great companion taming
1)make sure it's following you and kill everything that's near you the bigger the better
2) that's basically all it's kinda lame that it's just like the carcha but it's still very useful
Ability
Can grab your stuff if you die this lil guy can die to so be careful, he can tell if the Dino is dead or near death so it's a great Dino 7/10 my opinion
Cryo a good hp ovis and bring ovis to hawk and i forgot that but get bat for making elixir after that kill ovis and feed elixir to hawk do this process again until your hawk have been tamed
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
