What is a snow owl used for? snow owl battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These bad boys are super useful for taming, they can help you grow plants, slow down things you’re shooting with tranq with their dive, they can heal low hp wild animals so you don’t kill them and etc. Did I say they can detect wild creatures in the dark too? Best airborne mount before wyvern and rock drake.
In a sea of lightning wyverns this and quetzal that the snow owl stands as a beacon of hope while also bullying the frost wyvern and pig.
Its more efficient at healing than the pig due to a lower food drain and is great at killing wyverns because it just freezes the rider off and gets them to fall to their demise. And unlike the frost wyver their easier to obtain. Plus they have some use. Everything the frost wyvern wished it could be.
To tame a snow owl on extinction I recommend finding one in a large abandoned structure or building a bird trap with ston Dino gateways. Once tamd they are extremely useful having the ability to dive midair, heal your other tames with stamina, see in thermal vision and freeze your enemies solid. Definitely one of the most interesting and useful flyers in the game just be careful as they don’t have amazing health. Next I will be doing one of the following: magmasaur, megachelon, astrocetus, bloodstalker or ferox
They are found in snowy area of extinction, Eden is home to r snow owls on genesis 2. Fjdour has them near the blue obelisk and across the snowy range. Snowy area of lost island (I HAVENT DID ANY RESEARCH) Net guns are amazing on them. I recommend you use tranq darts but a good crossbow will work fine. Use sanguine elixir when taming if havent. They have a thermal vision, dive very well, land on tree tops, silent, and use stamina to freeze dinos around it and heal them.
