What is a terror bird used for? terror bird battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
YALL WEREN’T LYING ABOUT THE GLIDING ABILITY- it’s little wing flapping😭😩 they’re not bad, they do have little stamina and don’t do much damage but they’re quick so I would only recommend for short travel also the amount of time they can Glide depends on their stamina too so be careful. -V
Get yourself a flock of these guys amd make sure they are bred and fully imprinted as well. Well they don't have to be bred but just wont be as good. Trust me on this. These guys are amazing as a flock. Watching them devour everything is amazing. Get tbese guys to as much health as possible and you'll be able to tear through alpha Raptors and Carnos with ease. Trust me
Everyone seems to limit this to just being a "scout". If you get a high level (170+) the terror bird can easily be one of the most deadly mounts out there. It's speed is unmatched and its ability to glide from any height, if it has the stamina that is, makes it amazing. If you pump HP, speed, stamina, and later on movement speed, you will have an absolute killer. (WARNING: Even high level terror birds will have low weight, only bring your essentials to maximize on speed!)
IMO one if the best traversal mounts in the Island. They are extremely fast and can glide over vast distances and over obstacles, and when paired with a good saddle and good HP and damage investment, they can solo Rexes and Alpha Carnos with little issue.
They are also great in the Carno and Lava caves as they can get over the deadly gaps with little issue.
They can glide by holding down the jump button, stopping fall damage and allowing them to traverse across canyons and steep mountains with ease.
If you don’t have a Thylaceo or Megalania, these are the go to mounts for the Carno Island and Lava caves as they can glide over gaps and glide down steep drops.
