ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
For PC: Pick up with -e- so it sits on your shoulder. Hold -space- to flap its wings to fly, press -c- while in the air to glide (look around with mouse, steer with -a- and -d-, hold -shift- and press -s- to ‘dive-bomb’ and gain speed, press -x- to enable ‘parachute’ mode and float safely down to the ground!
Hold -r- when it’s on your shoulder to access its inventory. You should also enable ‘auto scream’ and ‘auto scream only when aggrod’, so it may scare away smaller threats such as dilos, pegos etc.

Ok, this is for all of you ps4 players out there.
1. Hold circle=fly/gain altitude.
2. Double tap circle/tap while in the air to boost up.
3. R3 to glide (hold for parachute mode).
4. You can throw it onto other players.
5. Holding jump underwater boosts swim speed.
A lot of these controls I found here on dododex, so credit to the people who posted the controls/tips originally. I have personally tested these and they all work.
