What is a fjordhawk used for? fjordhawk battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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 !!
This boys are the best carriers to farm resources in mid game.
You can put a magmasaur in a criopod, take it to a local with lots of metal/cristal/obsidian, collect everything you want. Then, drop all the resources in a bag, aim at the bag with the hawk in your shoulder, press double F to throw it in the bag and quickly ride your flyer and go to your base. The hawk will follow you with all the resources in the bag.
Just remember the flyer must be faster than the hawk, otherwise it will reach you and drop the bag.
These creatures cant apparently be picked up by anything, can't be affected by bolas , and they can only fit through dinosaur gates so i expect that they might be quite big. They can also ‘sense’ prey / dinos that is injured for you (if tamed.) If its a wild Fjordhawk and you are quite injured, it will attack you if it think it will be able to kill you, unless you have strong armour. They will also eat /scavenge Injured or Dead dinos. They also will retrieve your items when you die, not all of your items tho. But it will retrieve as much as it can carry (when tamed.) I hope this helped you understand better about the Fjordhawk before its released. :)
