Shortcut for name: Duck
I’m guessing these things aren’t on mobile which is a shame because I really wanted one.
add hesperornis to mobile spread the word
Easy taming trap that helped me, got four back to back. 1 foundation, 4 window walls. Place foundation down and two walls up, hit hesperornis let it agro on you and lead it to foundation and trap it in with the remaining two window walls. Fed (through open window slot) it sabertooth salmon 1.0 and higher for faster tame.
Unlike most small creatures aside from small carnivores, hesperonis will aggro if you punch them.....
Breeding seems to take about 28 hours.3.5hr egg 3hr baby.
Taming tip: tame a male and female 150 giga, mate them, then trade the eggs for level 20 hesperonis.
Worst. Tame. Ever.
At least on Xbox, pressing Y to feed is near impossible, especially with a large fish. And if you are trying to tame it on land, and miss the feed with Y and drop the fish it will either A) be eaten by the hesp and give you no credit, or B) float into the air and not allow you to grab it again, even when targeting.
Solo taming a 145 spino and tried a 45 hesp while witing. Spino is almost done and I finally gave up after 3 salmon in a row floated away into orbit.
These ducks spawn in small lakes or pond size bodies of water . I always find two or three in the lake that connects with the swamp on the southside of the map closest to the red avilus . Also beware of titanboa coming from hills and sarcos going into water . I suggest you take a bird and keep a close eye .
Taming a high level is painstakingly slow, especially if her mate is lurking around. Only .5 to 2.0 % for a SALMON! I would rather poke my eyes with ice picks than tame another one. But seriously make a 1 foundation with 4 walls trap with ramps on both sides. Make sure you put a ladder in side as you will need to get out after you fed it. DO NOT use a door and doorframe as you may mistakenly open the door when trying to feed it and it can get out. Aggro the bird and lead it up and into the trap.
These give small amount of polymer. Instead of hunting these go look up Penguin spawns.
Make sure to clear the area because they are pretty low health and do 1 damage to other creatures
Basically they will attack you but aren’t very dangerous just make sure they don’t come by 10 or yeah… You might loose a lvl 200 Raptor 🥲🥲
Is this in ark mobile update for no
It killed me when I tried to get my stuff because I died next to a Spino and I did not know if it attacked and it did over 57
Screw this shitty version of the penguin. A Giga is easier to tame and 100x more useful.
We had a raft with walls all around it and the entrance was a door with some stairs so we ran into it with the door open and it went right in, then we just took turns bringing it fish, it took about 30 minutes and only escaped once.
These are annoying kill them.
