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
Fun fact you cant feed it a Megalodon.
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...
Great Tame. They lay special eggs which are used to make the best kibble in the game, extraordinary kibble. I found the best place to tame them is around the green obelisk. Follow the river out to the ocean and you should find some along the way. The river also has lots of Sabertooth Salmon and piranhas which the Hesperornis love. The process is still lengthy as they need lots of fish to tame, but finding those fish and paying attention to sizes (around 1.0 the larger the better) will make it much faster
Taming guide #4: Hesperornis and Otter
1 They have a weird taming metodo,Where you Need to trasport a fish to them and feed them
2 The best Place to tame Hesperornis and Otter Is that River between Redwood and Swamp,since It Is full of Salmons wich work the best ( Here Hesperornis are common while the Otter Is rare like in any other Place)
3 Kill salmon and feed them with the body
4 Enjoy a duck/a cute ball of fur π¦π¦¦
Use an itchthyornis to gather fish for it. The buff increases efficiency.
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.
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 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.
Use a rex and a crossbow. Find a LOW level (20 or less) bird swimming on a river. Use the rex to clear both shores of all nearby carnivores, then have the rex stand in the water and kill any piranha that show up. With your rex on PASSIVE follow (otherwise it will eat your fish), swim in the river and shoot a fish with your crossbow (sabertooth salmon are best, then piranha), then DRAG (do not harvest the meat) the fish to the bird, which is passively tamed. Rinse and repeat. (I find if the bird is swimming, it's easiest to folllow it and try to feed it the fish while you are floating under the bird.)
