What is a snow owl used for? snow owl battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
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.
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.
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
