What is a snow owl used for? snow owl battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Snow owls are great replacements for daedons, if you don't have any. Though you do need the saddle, they can heal you, and other dinos, (including wild ones, extremely useful for taming) REALLY fast if you encapsulate yourself. I was overheating in a wyvern trench on fjordur, and stopped for a second to heal, taking it extremely quickly so that I could keep running away from the wyverns trying to get their children back. The only problem with this is, that it takes a TON of hunger from you.
Dive bomb your target from directly above, go into freeze/heal before hitting the ground/target to temporarily stun it. If you hit the target directly, while midair, the target will freeze and fall to the ground, with you. Place dino gates / doors in quickslot, for instant trap.
If dive bomb at the edge of a ledge or cliff then (if at slight enough angle to not freeze and lose your momentum) you will be sent flying forward at the speed you we’re going when you dived, and you will not lose stamina.
P.S this counts as falling, so you can’t control were your going. Also you will take fall damage so start flying again before you hit the groung
P.P.S also works with griffins
