Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a ichthyornis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ichthyornis.
I don’t know where to find these guys someone help.
Ive gotten attacked by one of theses dam bastards and this pittle piece of s*** stole 100 narcs and hella mats
They do seem to have a headshot modifier, aim for the body with tranq darts to avoid killing higher levels
Chamce of death much higher then it says. Killed a lvl 15 and a lvl 20 with 1 shot from Longneck 298 despite there being no chance of death warning.
This is kind of expensive but slingshot or tranq to get attention then bola it when it dives at you like so people see it
I have a spino it was a easy tame
Don’t use crossbow with tranq arrows cuz it’ll die in one shot
One of my personal favorite tames. They're extremely fun to use, and extremely useful for killing fish then using a sickle to harvest raw prime meat from them, and use the meat to tame carnivores much faster. For something really fun, tame at least 12 or so and put them all on aggressive! Also, tranq arrows are much easier than bolas, I suggest using them.
You will kill it with a long bow at low levels around 16 even though it says you won't
These little shits are pretty annoying to tame you should bring at least 30 narcotic
Use a shotgun to give justice to these thieves
Tame a low lvl one then once its tamed use it to get raw prime fish meat from Coeleths and tame a higher lvl one
Super low HP, so tranq dart is best. Optimally, find it when it's walking on the beach, then KO - annoying as hell to shoot while flying with ANY server lag. Kibble-less tame is possible but you need to watch its torp. Also - it's small, so remember where it is!
When it lands bola it so it can’t fly off. Use tranq darts because arrows may kill it, but a club works for low level birds. Very slow tame with raw fish, so either make pego kibble or use prime fish, which can be gathered from a saber tooth salmon with a sickle. If you can’t get one to land, you can try to shoot it midair with the darts or the bola, but they move in odd patterns sometimes, and may fall in the water. If you kill all the fish near it it will decide to land. After you get your first, prime fish will come easy for the higher level ones.
Every time I try to tame it it dies
To bring it down kill the surrounding fish BOlla it tranc it tame with fish
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.
Don't try to use a club to knock these out. I learned that the hard way.
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
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.
