Hesperornis will attack if you attack it
Up if you think that these guys should be in mobile and you feed in raw prime fish meat
don’t tame this guys. It’s Ito worth the effort. Seriously. You’re literally better off taming a breeding pair of yutyrannus for kibble eggs than taming this moron. Unless you’re in a very hoisted server I really don’t recommend.
It has a High spawn around south zone. So it would be recommended taming them there
Terribly long to tame it ...terribly long
Most exhaustIng passive team ever!
God alive they don't want much do they
Tried to tame one earlier (you gotta drag them fish. Don even do their own hunting like! Lazy birds) kept dropping the fish trying to feed them taming bar ended up going down when I was on 25.7% I gave up beestrd birds
Aka pelicans on alcohol pls up
Not even x9999 can insta tame it
Of you want to tame one of these I've noticed that they sometimes they come to you like dolphins if you have fish on the final hotbar spot, might be good to keep in mind if you are having trouble lugging a giant fish around with you.
Even though on the wiki it says its a small egg type that makes simple kibble, the regular egg will NOT make kibble. The reason for this is that if you cook the egg without the other ongredients it turns into oil. This mechanic overlaps with the new kibble system and as such, it turns into oil before if can become kibble.
Can use their eggs to make oil in cooker. Tame a bunch of females and a male to have a passive oil farm. Plus use a female to kill 5 fish and have a chance at getting a golden egg which you can give to yourself or your tames for an xp buff. Big creatures dont receive as much of an xp bonus. Golden eggs can be used for extraordinary kibble but I personally just use yutys for that
(Sorry for any grammatical errors but I’m using a translator to write this tip) the best way to tame a hesperornis is to:
- Look for one of the lowest possible level (in case you want to waste less time and less resources);
- Have the hesperornis follow you and send him into a trap made of wood or straw, formed by a foundation, 3 fances (and another one to close the cage) and a wooden ramp (to allow him to climb in);
- In case there are more hesperornis, with the same type of trap catch one of the opposite sex next to the other one already trapped (so as to have the mating bonus);
- With an ichtyornis take some fish, preferably large salmons but do not harvest the fish by the ichtyornis;
- Enter the trap with one fish and gently give it to the hesperornis (but be careful not to drop it because otherwise it will devour it and give you no taming percentage);
Repeat the steps with the ichthyornis and feed more fish to the hesperornis until it’s tame (and all this in a few minutes). I hope this tip can help someone and, in case it is useful
