What are tips for ichthyornis? Tips and strategies for ichthyornis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When taming, put narcotics and kibble (or just fish) on a nearby Dino or chest under treetops not too far from the shore. Then, collect berries from bushes as you walk to the bird. They’ll agrro on you, and they can only steal the useless berries you got before (also Ark devs, make it so when they eat narcotic they stole from the player, their topor goes up. It’s realistic, and will make our live much easier) bola it when it swoops in, hit it with a club or something, and boom! Tamed.
It took 1 tranq arrow with crossbow for lvl 5, but I wasted about 25-30 tranqs in the process. So have about 40 tranqs and a crossbow.
Take spears or a pike. You seriously won't hit this thing with a ranged weapon
Put ALL YOUR DINOS in passive, because this thing dies SO MUCH EASILY and them, tranq them, and feed.
AND NOT SHOT IN THE HEAD, THEY WILL D I E
If you see one stay away they just steal all Ur food and when u have no more food they smack Ur weapons out of Ur hand you'll find them in Vikings bay
Like pego's they prefer to steal items in the last slot, so I have with success had a split stack of berries whenever I travel around these thieves; they'll steal 3 berries I care nothing about. Berries are dropped from dinos you kill as well, so I recommend just sticking a few on the bar if you see them around.
They will steal your narcotics and eat the whole stack without passing out.
They steal your food even all you have on you is an egg, fertilized or not!
These numbers are very off. The kibble gives 1% so rather then the handfull it clames it is far more. Only raw prime fish seems acurate.
Caught one by accident! Tried to steal from me and flowed into my taking boat wall. Figured it was a sign!! Lol can sit on your shoulder. Have not tried "hunting" but will tomorrow!
If pegos had wings this is it keep an eye on the sky
I could knock out a level 20 with a club within the time a bola would stay on it. I would also suggest taming a pegomastax or two and make their kibble because it can take hours to tame it with fish meat. Then just tame more and more until you can destroy anyone.
The way they fish is really buggy but they look cool so its necessary to tame one
First of all on the taming endeavor. Make all foods are stacks of one and clear your taming group because you'll probably have to use whistles. Mine tore off on a killing spree instantly on tame. I suggest a bola and placing your first shot from far away. That'll give time to spin up the bola.
Once tame I suggest setting 'Hunt and Retrive'. My trials on hunt have resulted in chasing it to get it to go passive and land.
If anyone knows why it has a saddle slot I'm very curious to know why.
It can also hunt Dodo's giving extra prime stand by a grill and set it on a aggresive for lots of cooked prime meat. Also does bonus damage to Trilobites but cant carry them back.
A 120 Kibble tame didn't take 20 minutes and 3 narcotics on x3 taming. It took about 30-40 minutes and about 10-15 narcotics. Always bring extra!
The egg incubation time and time spent as baby are wrong. Its less than 4 hours as a baby and less than 2 hours for incubation.
Wait for it to land a level 45 took one traq dart and 4 kibble
I tamed a 90 n 10 using a dickwads behemoth gated pen, aggro them inside a behe gated base n they'll fly away into the gate to be bola or even btr, they'll get tired n land
