Tips & Strategies

Here's how I tamed one using Ichthyornis. π
What I did was use my Ichthyornis to Hunt fishes and bring the dead bodies for me.
Change his settings to "Hunt and retrieve", put him on your shoulder then you go swim. While you are swimming aim at The fish you want and double tap F (on PC). Ichthyornis will fly, kill the fish and bring the body to you.
Then you take the body to Hesperornis and feed it. Once you get used to it it's very fast and easy. I recommend following Hesp from behind so you dont need to adjust your aim all the time.
You can do the same to tame Otters.

Place a cage and punch it. Leave cage open and punch it go on the side that the cage is open and it will walk in and close it then place sign. You can then open it and feed it without it being able to leave. Saber & piranha is the best. Side note seemed the faster I would feed it the more it went up in taming. (Did not look at the size of the fish.
Fun fact you cant feed it a Megalodon.
Ark mobile revamp tip
Kill salmon 0.7x size or below don't even try the bigger ones it'll block your view that will make it harder, now drag the fish go near this biatch then click the dino paw print where the whistle button is also located click "feed fish", sometimes it'll show release instead so be patient Xaxa
Use an itchthyornis to gather fish for it. The buff increases efficiency.
They deal hundred millions of damages to fish... but only does 1 damage to other creatures
ok
Donβt be stupid like me. I was dropping fish after fish in front of it and was wondering why thereβs no taming bar. Didnβt realise you have to passively feed it not just drop a fish in front of it.
The most frustrating thing about taming these guys is not only do they take a lot of fish but the same button to feed them is the same button to drop the fish(i donβt know if itβs different in pc or ps4)and itβs constantly swinging around your face making it annoying because youβre constantly dropping it. Either make it so the controls to feed them are different then dropping it or make ur so itβs not constantly in ur face.
Feeding them sabertooth salmon seems to work the best.
Tame to this kill fish and drag there body to it and once tamed if you feed them more dead fish corpses it will build up and lay a golden egg which is used as a buff to certain dinos or oil or a player buff
A pure nightmare to tame;
You have to get thousands and thousands of fishes,
But you can't use anything to fish them (except another hesperonis...)
Because they will eat the fishes, before give you the meat;
So you need to go fishing, go walking to the trapped bird, and doing so like billions of times, and everything times, you'd waste like 5minutes, because it refuses to eat
Then, you have to travel hundreds miles, simply because you got all the fishes in the near location, to get like 30% of taming effectiveness...
