Tips & Strategies
Are you wanting to tame a hesperornis? Here’s how I tame mine! But first everything I say in my tips is of course what I recommend you can tackle this tame however you feel necessary! Also thanks for the support I appreciate it :D Alright now first will be your supplies to consider packing! Be sure to pack some decent armor, as the hesperornis spends most of its time in the water, this also means there will most likely be piranhas that will continually try to impede on your quest! Second on the shopping list is a trusty seagull, you may be wondering why, allow me to explain! So the icthyornis once tamed, has the ability to “hunt and retrieve” enable that option, set it on attack target, and tell it to attack a fish, it will then kill the fish, give it a golden fish buff, as well as bringing it back to you, phew the endless swimming for fish is over! Also as a added bonus the icthyornis’s golden fish buff will tame the hespornis way faster! So I would definitely consider taking one with you! Now that your good to go, it’s time to figure out where to find them! They spawn on every map, they will spawn anywhere that has fish, they also spawn in groups of 2/5 that I know of! Now that you have a vague idea on where to find them it’s time to start taming! Grab your icthy and tell it to murder a fish and bring it to you, once you grab a dead fish, line up your shot, then swim straight toward the duck and feed it, this way the fish never gets all up in your way when feeding, this takes a bit of practice so patience is key! Tell your icthy to fetch another fish… rinse and repeat! The process goes quicker with salmon! And eventually you got yourself a cute lil duck with a VERY aggressive attitude! What might this guy be used for? Good question! Allow me to explain! These guys are good for there egg laying capabilities, giving you one of two kibble to make! Ones I’m pretty sure basic kibble, the other one is exceptional kibble! And there’s nothing more fun than watching an army of ducks murdering your target, also a pretty quick fish meat gatherer! These guys are breedable, but do not lay golden eggs when bred! (They also make a cute little companion) Again thanks for the support, Good luck out there! :D
More Hesperornis Taming & KO Tips
I don't understand how they've updated to Unreal 5 for Ark Ascended and still can't fix the button to feed these stupid birds 🤦♂️
I punched one once then placed a cage and hid behind it so it ran into the cage and my friend closed it then we just started bringing fish up to the cage and feeding it
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
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 don’t know if it’s different in pc or ps4)and it’s constantly swinging around your face making it annoying because you’re constantly dropping it. Either make it so the controls to feed them are different then dropping it or make ur so it’s not constantly in ur face.
Apparently the taming for this bird is bugged in Ascended because I've been teying to tame a lvl 90 female for hours now. Can't drag the fish corpse to it. It won't let me feed it. I've even tried taming it with fish meat. Has not worked at all.
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
Feeding them sabertooth salmon seems to work the best.
You can easily kill for polmor
Here's how I tamed one using Ichthyornis. 👇
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.
