Fjordhawks are the best creatures to tame in the Ark Expansion series, and their return to Ark Fjordur makes the game easier. These birds are easily found all across the map in mountain areas, and to tame this creature, you can either feed it bodies of freshly killed wild animals or slaughter your own tames and let the bird eat.
The reason for taming this huge bird is its unique ability to transport your bag to you when you die. It can be a lifesaver in PvE and PvP situations, as you can retrieve all your belongings after respawning into the game. These birds also allow you to see corpses and body bags.
This guide contains everything you need to know about Fjordhawk, including their location, taming, and breeding guide in Ark Fjordur.
How to Tame a Fjordhawk?
To tame a Fjordhawk, you need to feed it bodies of dead creatures that you have killed yourself. If you use a tamed creature to kill other dinos, unmount the tame before the Fjordhawk eats the dead body.
Once you have located a Fjordhawk, isolate it from the pack and catch it using a net gun. It will take a couple of hits before you finally catch it. When the bird is down, place a wooden cage on top of it, and when the net cools down, double-check to ensure that the Fjordhawk is stuck in the cage.
Now, clear out the remaining birds in the area, as they might snatch the food you want to give your bird. When the net cools down, place the creature you want to feed the Fjordhawk near the cage, and it will start eating it. Or you could slaughter a creature and open the cage to throw the body inside and let the bird eat it.
Once the Fjordhawk starts eating the dead animal, the taming process will begin. You can use the Sanguine Exilir to boost the taming bar by 30%. After the bird has consumed one corpse, shut the cage door and feed it another dead animal to complete the taming process.
If your bird gets out of the cage and as long as there are no threats in the area, you can slaughter your third animal, and the bird will automatically fly up to the corpse to eat it and end the taming process.
