Tips & Strategies

Hear me:
I am on Ark UME(new mobile) singleplayer.
I try carrying it with grappling hook. I shoot it and it worked.
The rope of grappling hook pass through everything so i drag a hesperornis while i am at the back of the wooden cage. When it stopped walking i close the cage. I bring really big fish, the biggest i get it for was 1.8 . They say the fish blocks you to interact with hesperornis, so i tried riding a tame creature and drag the fish(a big one and i used ptenarodon) and the fish was in the feet of my pte then i try getting close to hespe in cage and see if interaction buttons shows. And it did show so it take me 5 more than 1.0 size Ssalmon to tame lvl 110. For the sabertooth salmon i got, i use (and force my self to tame a ichthyornis the annoying bastards who eats items stolen from me when they attack) the small bird common to see in the beaches to get the salmons for me. They carry the whole fish body if you order them to attack the fish and the catched fish is enhanced, you get prime fish meat from it even if it was not supposed to be. The enhanced fish gives more taming progress on hesperornis.
This here is just a mark to knew if this is my tip: [×÷×]
More Hesperornis Taming & KO Tips
The regular eggs can be cooked in a cooking pot to produce 12 oil. Don't see anyone saying anything about that.
Fun fact you cant feed it a Megalodon.
Use an itchthyornis to gather fish for it. The buff increases efficiency.
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.
They deal hundred millions of damages to fish... but only does 1 damage to other creatures
ok
Don’t be stupid like me. I was dropping fish after fish in front of it and was wondering why there’s no taming bar. Didn’t realise you have to passively feed it not just drop a fish in front of it.
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
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.
Even a fat Sabertooth salmon takes it 17.5 percent.
But just get a wooden cage go to the duck have it attack you go behind the cage it will go into it and just close the cage, then feed it fish carcasses
