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

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!

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

I'm genuinely tired of trying to tame this guy cause his feed fish radius is so stupid it's so small that tried to tame him 10 times still failed either the fish automatically drop and he eats it or piranha packs attack only the player and ragebaiting me or when I reach like 30% taming something happen to ruin it😫

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 🦆🦦

Taming an ichthyornis will allow you to gather the corpse by setting it on hunt and retrieve, after the fish is killed it will deliver the corpse right to you and you can tame the Hesperornis

Hesperonis can make golden eggs so go steal!!!!

Use a horse to lasso it, then you can move it around to new fish spawns when the area gets cleared. The horse can also step on the duck to pin it down, or simply use the lasso to keep it close while tribemates gather fish.

I punched one once then placed a cage and hid behind it so it ran into the cage and my friend closed it then we just started bringing fish up to the cage and feeding it

How to tame a Hesperornis:

Build a trap using

1 foundation (any kind)

4 walls (any kind; I prefer walls over rails)

4 ramps or stairs (any kind)

4 ladders (whatever you can make)

Place a ramp on the outside of each of the walls & a ladder on the inside of each.

Speed is everything. If you have or can acquire an Ichthyornis first your tame will be forever more wonderful... later on that.

Place your trap just on the shore where you have seen Hesperornis running around. (It's a flightless bird). Find them at the edge of a swamp or around a secluded small body of water.

Antagonize a Hesperonis to make it follow you & walk to your trap. If you run, you'll probably disinterest him/her (preferably her).

Once in the trap s/he will stay put. Use the nearest ladder to get out. Now run to the water to gather fish. Kill but don't harvest. You'll see the E:Drag appear. Press "E" to drag fish to the trap. When you jump in you will lose your fish so be prepared to grab it again. ("E" to drag). Don't let her/him feed on it. You will see the Yellow "E: To Feed Fish". Press "E". Rinse; repeat until s/he tames out. Press "E" to change her settings first and foremost. "Behavior"- change

ATTACK Your... to "Passive", "__ only conscious, and "Low" on following-you'll thank me later. Now, press "E" to put her/him on your shoulder. SUCCESS!

Note 1: If you get and learn to use an Ichthyornis, it will catch fish for you and turn it into "Prime Fish" that waits for you to gather it and feed it to your Hesperonis. This is a much quicker and more effective Tame.

Note 2: Any fish will do, but Prime will do better, quicker, and better. If you cannot get Ichthyornis, you can make a fish trap from foundations placed in the water with a gate at the end. Two auto-gates work better, but cost more. Argo Salmon and lead them into the trap. This is very tedious compared to getting an Ichthy, which will always be useful.

How to get an Ichthyornis... Make sure you have more than one tranq weapon. Crossbows work well because they are faster than Longneck rifles. Use tranq arrows (Crossbow) or tranq darts (Rifle). Shock tranq darts are best because you won't need many and they will not kill your target (unless you spaz and pellet the poor bird). You can tame underwater if you must, but try to down it over land if possible. You have more than one weapon because your target will steal your weapons. :O This bird is worth your frustration, believe me. Not short… sorry.

BIGGEST PAIN TO TAME EVER! have to get sabertooth fish kill them BUT do NOT harvest them you have to drag the body to it and feed it. Also good luck feeding it while the body is flailing everywhere in front of you. Also you CAN breed them.
