Tips & Strategies

What are tips for kairuku? Tips and strategies for kairuku in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you ko and tame a wild baby, juvenile or adolescent penguin you are able to imprint it and it will have no creature ancestry.
If you are on old ark mobile you can kill then revive these from anywhere up to 8-16 amber which then you can claim them instead of knocking them out then feeding them.
Use a longneck with tranq darts to make sure you dont kill it and then kill the baby's around it for the raw prime so you get better taming effectivnes and save narcotics and time
Yes they do spawn on Lost Island. Go to 40.2/43.2 and you will find some of these little guys & gals.
For the person on mobile who found one in redwoods, ha! I'm not sure if that's odd or not but mobile happens to generate some really weird creature placements. I found a procoptodon in the middle of the arctic and my sister found a Griffin in the Arctic. We both play on mobile.
Kairuku are found in the coldest parts of the map, you'll want fur clothing to keep you from freezing to death.
These birds are very friendly! When tamed you can hold them and give them their own hats!
Once killed, use a club on the penguin to collect organic polymer
You tame these by buying a 5 month Club Penguin membership
Do not try to pick up and tame anywhere else other than snow biome. Their hunger will drop 100x slower.
Throw a few females and a male into a small pen. Enable mating on all of them. Hatch as many females (and a couple more males) as you’d like. Bring a dimetrodon into the pen to help with incubating the eggs. Set him on aggressive, and he will automatically kill the babies and harvest the organic polymer (which can be used as a substitute for regular polymer, saving obsidian and cementing paste).
It seems like they also lay normal eggs pretty often, so I like to keep an oviraptor on wander (weighed down with rocks) nearby to boost unfertilized egg laying for basic kibble.
