Figured out a very streamlined way to get golden goose eggs!
First, tame yourself a female goose friend. You do this by dragging fish to feed, so I'd recommend taking an icthyornis (seagull) before attempting to tame even a minimum level, since their golden fish buff is absolutely needed.
Once she's tamed, find a pond with a lot of fish in it; try to make sure it's safe for your goose! Throw her into the water and set her to wander and aggressive. Then stand back and let her do her work.
Once your hesperornis starts to appear passive, even in the presence of coel, she's ready! Pick her up on your shoulder and throw her on shore, and she'll lay an egg and return to the water on her own. This is usually a regular egg, but don't worry, since these can be refined into oil in your cooking pot!
Once you do get a golden egg, make sure you're ready to use it (have Laz Chowder premade, if you're making kibble!) cause these things spoil and they spoil FAST.
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...
I thought they were harmless.. turns out they think im a fish.
I had just tamed a saber and I had my pt with me I saw one of these guys I didn’t know they attacked you…it attacked me and my saber killed it:(…by the way up this if they are hard to find
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 🦆🦦
Use an itchthyornis to gather fish for it. The buff increases efficiency.
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.
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.
They are actually Aggro If your Hit them
Easiest and stupid just kill a fish trow it on land near it, it will go for it, bigger fish means he eat for longer, then just lock the bird in a closure or tent if the trick works (did not try it yet), if you want to make it easier trow window on the wall and it should be ok to feed.
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
Quick tip that helped me tame one on ASA; you can place a wooden cage on top on it when it stops moving and feed it fish through the bars. Sometimes it might glitch out but just pick the cage up and put it back down on it again. Hope this helps!
