What are tips for kairuku? Tips and strategies for kairuku in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I use a cross bow its almost 50/50 chance it will kill it but if that happens you can just pick out a different kairuku, and feed it raw fish and/or raw meat to tame they are very easy to tame almost dodo like in a way
-Once tamed the Kairuku acts as a mobile heater. It adds 35 to your hypothermic insulation (your how cold you are stat) the more Kairuku you have compounds their effectiveness.( the further away from the penguin the less effective it is)
-Can be used for breeding so you don't have to waste mats on Air Conditioners
I like to name mine Oswald Cobblepot and have an Onyc nearby named Bruce Wayne.
They can spawn in packs of 3 up to 5 and they only spawn in the far northwest snow region of the island, you have the best chance of finding them at the glaciers even further out in the ocean as only kairukus can spawn at glaciers.
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.
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.
I saved a baby from a pack of dire wolves by swooping in and grabbing him on my argentavis, and decided to carry him home and tame him. I dropped him down the beach away from my tames and got a simple rifle with tranq darts. Five darts in and the poor little dude dropped dead. Rip Cranberry </3
I don't want to kill all of them but they drop palmer
Looking for a good Fjordur spawn? The NE coast of the SW part of the map is home to many of these not so innocent waddlers. Hope this helps!
Fun fact. If u like these penguins and don’t want to kill them but u have to kill them for polimer I have a tip for u. If u r in ragnarok and u want polimer kill mantis. The give u 10 times more polimer and u won’t have problem killing them Because they r ugly
Wild card why must we kill cute penguins for organic polymer whyyyyyyyyyy
If you need polymer this is a good thing to find and kill. Use wooden club to get the most
So I had a hard time getting organic polymer, one day I just happen to see these things and go” aaawww, your cut, now I want to kill you”. After that I got so much polymer after killing an entire Colony of them
For Taking. Use tranquilizing darts. I have an ascendant crossbow and kept killing them by accident. As it seems it takes a lot of tranq arrows take one down. But when using tranq darts it took couple shots but did trick.
The best spot to tame one is on the little island in the corner of the north biodome. Which pretty much is penguin island. Nothing really pops up there to bother you unless you count the ocean. Also dododex does say it has a high tampour drop, but if you have some raw prime meat on you it isn't going to be a problem. Tamed a lv110 it's only 5 pieces of raw prime.
