Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a ichthyornis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ichthyornis.
Snipe with a crossbow and off you tag one it will fly off and drop. Just hope it didn't steal the fish you were gonna use lolz
Very hard to tame. Absolutely worth it though. I managed to tame one, and it's my primary source for meat and fish, especially prime.
But I've wasted 20+ tranq arrows with confirmed hits on a flying one, with the arrows sticking out on a level 24. Eventually I died.
So bola first. Or it must be a new bug.
Do NOT try to tranq a level 44 with a primitive crossbow, it killed instantly when I tried.
Are they in mobile?…….. . A a a a a a a a a
The taming time on raw fish meat is less then 6 hours.
These things are weak so use darts since it does less damage, easiest way to knock it out is to watch it until it comes down to steal your stuff then bola it head on. Worked every time for me. Also force feeding it a little meat will keep it from dying, that's what happened with me. Hope this was helpful.
All you do is:kill megalodon then harvest fish meat, bola your seagul, punch it then give it the needed fish and a few narcos and your good!
Tamed a level 100 and it took 2 hours with regular fish meat. It also took 3 tran arrows to the body with primitive crossbow. Make sure to have a berry picker with you for narcoberries because I used over 1000 narcos to keep it knocked out in the process. But if any of you are wondering if you still get prime from these fellas...yes you do :)
A pain in the ass to tame but when tamed early game can help tame spinos, Baryonyx, basilosourus, and more.
Me and my friend have an ark world and I wanted a shoulder riding so we tried taming a hespi but we failed then a dimorphodon landed we tamed him and called him Dave but now my friend wanted an ichthy so we tried taming one it was hard but in the end we bolad one. It was low lvl so I was gonna punch it but before I could my friend shot it with tranq arrows from a CROSSBOW and killed it so now we need to find a new ichthy to tame. R.I.P the ichthy who didn't have a name and wasn't even tamed
Their torpor is FAST so make sure you’ve got loads of narcotics😐 had him at 90% tamed and he woke up, stole my stuff, and flew straight into the mouth of a raptor.
DO NOT USE ARROWS, the tool tip is wrong, it kills them. Use tranq darts.
DONT USE REGULAR FISH FOR ANY LEVEL. Find a Leeds (even baited via raft) scrape the fish, and tame your gull.
When taming, do NOT use a crossbow and tranq arrows, as it will die in one shot if under lv 30.
Ironic that their favorite kibble is pegomastax. Both little shoulder-pets like to steal stuff.
They are hard to bola and even harder to shoot while in the air, so wait for them to land before trying anything. Once it’s on the ground you can bola it, and tranq it. If you don’t want to tame them and they are being annoying little buggers, you can just bola and kill ^^
Just use a crossbow and 2 tranq arrows after it finishes fishing.
Split all your stacks of food while trying to bola it. That way if you miss, you only lose one good item at a time.
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.
Don't let it take your stuff it took my journeyman crossbow and I killed it but it didn't give it back like a pegomastax
