How do I kill a ichthyornis? ichthyornis battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You know that one relatable moment when one of these eats your shotgun and you don’t have any range except for a crossbow with tranq darts and you kill it and I turns out it somehow digested your brand new shotgun and your left with 9 shotgun shells and no way to use them
These guys, (if you build on the beach) will quickly become the bane of your existence. Watch your stuff
USE THE POWER OF YOUR BIG BRAIN!!!!!!! They only take stacks so if you have anything valuable that a seagull would wanna inspect, split it into single pieces. It will only take that one! Then once you know it’s there, blast that stupid thing to another realm.
Even WORSE than pegos because not only can they fly to take your stuff, they fricking eat it
If you have these by your base then DO NOT try to kill it with a good gun because it’ll just take it and you just lost your weapon.
These guys can also steal eggs, i had a raptor egg and never saw it again... even after killing this douchebag.
honestly pretty fun to use these things as target practice once you get a good crossbow.
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?
They should add anti air flak cannons or other to the game
They don’t live on scorched earth because it’s a desert, they don’t live in aberration due to its strict rule on flyers, other then that they live on EVERY map
If these litte douchebags take your stuff, don't expect to get it back. Example: Ascendant Pump Action Shotgun with 768 percent damage.
"Hey there citizens of mobile ultimate edition. What? This little syit eat your stuff? A what? Large storage box? Haha... yeah he chew that"
*Get whack

This little thing is the only downside to stack mods
Put something useless in last toolbar slot. I carry a stack of stimulus berry's for torper encounters but I slit my stack in 4s. When this dirty bird comes, I lose 25 or less berries, I quickly make smaller stacks to replenish the last slot. You'll almost encourage thieving dirty birds to attack! Also works with thieving dirty rats the pegomastics.
If you can carry food and narcos in smaller stacks so if they steal one they don't steal everything
This creature, the Ichthyornis, will only be aggressive towards you when you are in its way. It must have space to fish. Otherwise, it may usurp your items. When they circle over a spot in the water, do not swim there.
They just assasinate dodos. Tamed or not.
When I was a noob I died to these several times
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.
