Encountering Tips
How do I kill a ichthyornis? ichthyornis battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These guys, (if you build on the beach) will quickly become the bane of your existence. Watch your stuff
Hey guys! It’s Glomar 120 here! I am what I think would be a pro at hunting these. And I’m going to give you some tips and tricks on how to read yourself of these weird copies, and what you will need
First rule of engagement: remove valuables
Seagulls will normally go for a item of value like certain berries, narcoberry’s, crafted narcotic, spoiled meat, raw meat, ammo, eggs, and even go as far as to make you drop your equipped weapon (without them eating the weapon) when I see these, I will harvest bushes to get at least four narcoberry‘s, and using triangle button or whatever button splits a stack of items in half on PS4/other platforms to make stacks of one or two narcoberry‘s, so that when it sweeps down to steal things, it won’t go through the berries too quickly. If you were really on edge about your level 85 lightning, wyvern egg, just put it away, or put it in a large tame, because they will eat, and I mean actually eat, a small team like compies, dodos and Pegos.
Rule of engagement number two: striking first
Whenever hunting bees, you must make sure that you initiate engagement from a far using a bow, throwing a spear, using a gun, or if you are special skills, you can even slingshot it, and then ready a more powerful weapon unless you are taming it. If you run up to it and start swinging your melee weapon, unless it is a sword or better quality melee it will almost immediately take one item and then start circling you. my favorite method is using a bow to land two shots from a far and then using a spear to deal the final or last two blows. If they are on the ground, wallowing their way to torment another player, then this is the best way to deal with these. But if they are in the air, just avoid them. If they strike first and continue to circle you either run away in a single direction it is possible, or to avoid wasting ammo, wait until you hear their call, or until you see them, dive to attack.
Rule of engagement, number three: NEVER EVER FIND MORE THAN ONE OF THESE AT A TIME OTHERWISE, YOU COULD GET OVERWHELMED AND RESORT TO PUNCHING, WHICH WILL QUICKLY KILL YOURSELF.
Whenever I am feeling upset, I’ll make these guys my primary source of hide >:))))))
I hope the strategies can help you deal with these and read those monsters of your land.
HAPPY SURVIVING! – glowmar120
This little thing is the only downside to stack mods
Similar to the pego, these guys are also assholes. Especially when you're taming and they steal food out of your tames inventory and reset the tame process. Major assholes.
These guys can also steal eggs, i had a raptor egg and never saw it again... even after killing this douchebag.
They just assasinate dodos. Tamed or not.
Temperment is "skittish". These things have attacked me out of nowhere for no reason and stole plenty of cooked meat and rare flowers/mushrooms already! How is that skittish?
if on the beach always look up to the sky every few seconds to ensure your lvl 180 wyvern egg doesnt go byebye
Pegos are at least cute. These things are just bastards.
These things are weak to whips since it knocks them out of the air. So you could swap into a melee weapon and kill it once it fell on the ground, the accuracy is around 40% - 60%
If the map does not have scorched earth engrams. Then run away, this will force it to get close to the ground along with making it go in a straight line. This should really help with fighting this pest. So run a little then fight.
They take reduced damage when flying. It’s best to bola them and then kill them.
If you can shoot him down with an arrow first shot you are a legend
this man stole my entire 100 stack of tintoberries
*insert shoot it down meme as i delete him to the ground*
Don't get in the way because you can probably guess by how people sometimes people call them, STEALLY BIRDS.

These little $&*@$ steal eggs and they go to town on them
I don’t think these guys are in mobile...😢
I tamed one of these and then while it was on my shoulder I died and it flew off and now I can’t find it. Upvot e if you have had a similar experience or if you know where they fly off to
If you encounter a swarm of these, all hope is lost. Just soent twenty minutes being chased accross the map by these bastards just to be killed by a Raptor. *heavy sigh*
You grind for so long to get like two hundred black pearls just to have one of these guys steal them all then fly away
This mg just stole my lvl.90 Poision Wyvern egy
