This is by far the best guide i have seen i am having such huge problems with taming certain stuff and this makes it much more understandable for noobs like me
Thanks so much I think with UA-cam it promotes a lot of videos who come out first and it may not necessarily have info that’s been researched and tested
Thanks for putting all the work into this Crabby! I might have to attempt taming these things again. Also I had no idea that sheep had a slaughter option in the radial 🤯
I was struggling for 2 days with the hawks and was gonna give up until I stumbled upon your video and my!! You're a fricking amazing! Here's what I did: 1. I didn't wait for days and just tamed as many high level ovis as possible, leveled up their health, and brought em with me. 2. This needs a little bit of effort but in case that you run out of ovis, you can kill smaller-mid sized dinos like parasaurs, pteranodon, and stego, kill em, and drag the body to your hawk next to the cage as well. (p.s: would really be great if they have higher level because higher level dinos often (although not always) have higher health than the lower ones and that's what we're looking for) I did this with my tribe mate with 1 on the watch and another one on the hunt. We ended up taming 4 fjorhawsk hahaha. All in all very nice tutorial! Truly worked like a charm and subscribed instantly. Really looking forward to binge watch your videos. So informative and straightforward.
Great video. I revenge returned to Ark and trying to do a blind playthrough on this new-to-me map has been "fun". Instagibbed by desmos over Blue Ob, followed by fjordhawk flocks and throwing random things from my inventory to swe if they react, trying to figure out the andrewsarchus mini game while colorblind, etc. Been REAL FUN. I finally gave up and looked up some guides and yours have been awesome.
Thanks so much I never did an Andrew one as I’m not so good on the timing 😅 oh man I can see that sucking with the green and red arrows they should change that
@Crabbytron not just the arrows but apparently there is a rage meter that builds while riding them? I can't see it at all. I just thought getting tossed and kicked was part of the process. 😆
It's kind of moot for the moment with most people on ASA now, but for for the folks still playing ASE I found a cheeky trick on servers where clipping is enabled. Slaughter your sheep, and drop a tent so it clips the sheep in half . This creates a situation where you can still 'hit' the sheep with harvesting tools but won't actually harvest anything from it - meaning you can just keep hitting it endlessly until the body decays on it's own. Fjordhawks will do the same - they'll peck endlessly, getting taming progress without destroying the sheep (just like they did with the rock elemental before they patched it out) allowing you to tame any number of hawks off one sheep until the body decays.
Thanks Crabby another boss video and just so you know, when I tamed fjordhawks I didn't need to heal them. I just levelled them all up and it seemed to work fine so might be worth testing further.
@@Crabbytron yeah not sure why the health matters either, as you say, they are dead at the time so quite strange. But the level of an ovis does effect how much mutton and fur you get after slaughtering them so maybe it's all linked in through that mechanism.
Ovis’s maximum HP determines how many “Bites” the Fjordhawk can peck before the corpse is fully harvested. More bites equal more taming progress, thus every point into HP is profit! :D
i been breeding my sheep since the official release. i have 105 points into base health. really good for desmodus and fjordhawk. average 12k health on them. also the moschops is a cheaper alt as they are everywhere. but the hardest thing is isolating them from the 200 other birds eating your bait. but a really tough piece of mutton they all seem to tame fine and actually get slot locked as they cant consume all the sheep. the cage tip is something i didnt think of as i forget about the immunity they got for a hit.
I usually use Snow Owl’s Freeze to takeout their barriers, net the one I want, then slaughter an Ovis so they’ll all land to feed on it, shotgun them and repeat until all of the low-levels are dead. Ovis requires zero care to raise once you have a Maewing, once you have a breeding pair, you will have unlimited amount of them, so I usually don’t mind burning through them in order to get things done.
@@Crabbytron I tamed a 140 fjordhawk on an 8x server that I've been playing on with two higher level sheep. The sheep were close to level 200 so 2 sheep worked great and had 100% or 99.9% taming effectiveness.
thankyou for this very helpfull. my boys and i havent tamed one as yet but were working on sheep first.were going to use the bat and hawk to try get wyvern eggs eventully. lol
@@Crabbytron we was just going to die a few times lol eat Organic Polymer have the hawk bring it to us at home.idea is to use at night bat invisable, cryo it grab egg eat Poly and hawk do the rest lol
Great guide as usual. I love how your guides are to the point, and you always show all the various options available, and also what doesn't work. Top rating .. :) Do we get a subscriber Shinehorn named after us, if so cool, I'd love to see a 'Rush' shinehorn, lol :)
Great video, knew most of it already, the cage is a new one for me, never taught of that. I however have one question, how do you use the sanguine elixir, since it's a passive tame, I can't seem to use it on passive tames.
As a serial tamer of Chalicotheriums I can assure you the elixir works on passive tames, but you have to be close to the point of touching them in order to consume the elixir. Which um... comes with its own challenges XD The only problems I've encountered with the elixir so far happened with underwater tames.
When you do a knock out tame you have to have kibble in inventory and then you can use elixir. With the passive tamed do it as soon as it’s had the first bite. You have to be really really close to the creature the elixir will kinda light up in the hot at when you can use it
Put the elixir in your hotbar and when you are close, point your cursor at the creature and you should see the elixir in your hotbar go a bit brighter at which point you will be able to consume it and get the bonus.
Not necessary to heal the leveled ovis, and you don’t need to care about cryosickness when you throw out the ovis, you can just unclaim and shotgun it.
Yes in a way a higher level sheep with better health will take more bites to eat. That’s why I recommend bred sheep. And tame as high levels as you can. The sheep are dead so they have 0 health but the more health they have = more feeding for the fjordhawk
Sorry but you are wrong. The ovis can be killed if you have a melee weapon like a sword or pick in your hand and you bring up the radial menu for the slaughter option. Even on official PVE. This is has been tested with official settings and I never use god mode for taming tutorials.
@@Crabbytron that's very true but honestly I'm not about exact calculations and such I just really wanted to see if the phiomia is good enough when the ovis are hard to find early game you know what I mean? Edit: the only way to know is to try it myself 🥰 but the video is great either way
i did all of it and yet by my own hand i shot the exact bird i was taming instead of a random one that came out of nowhere, yes i had 2 ovis only even tough i could have bringed 2 more and 2 grown spinos, i had a desmodus yet i forgot to do elixir, but still, it felt bad to see a 96% progress go down in one shot
@Crabbytron twice actually, but your tips really finish sorting out all the trouble I had trying to tame one, it's been the best progress I've had so far
@@roronoazoroelmejorespadach3489 it’s strange you shot it in the cage 😅 just remember if you shoot it before you feed any sheep it won’t affect your taming only after feeding
@Crabbytron the cage method didn't do well for me so I tried without it, yk waited a little before feeding to make sure no other birds where close, and then one appeared out of nowhere
@Crabbytron since I'm already asking, by do you know by any chance if baby wyverns might help with the taming? I know it's brutal but I've snatched and hatched way too many low level wyverns and now they just take too many criopods and too much space in my fridge
Oh no a lot of people rush out to be the first in their videos and sometimes I am guilty of that but I usually try and research really hard and put the most info in there
You should be able to ge the slaughter option if you have a sword or oickaxe in your hand and are standing close enough. I know there was an issue when the fjordhawk was released but then it was fixed
@@Crabbytron I've been doing it the old fashioned way having them follow me around and feed. It takes forever and for some reason if the Hawk I'm taming gets to close to me or my Dino it triggers something with the Hawk and taming goes back to zero, I have no idea why it does that. I just raised up 20 high level ovis tonight and made some nets and gonna give your plan a shot. Thanks for the video. I'm on 954
@@northgeorgia7357 oh good luck you got this. If you are on official the cage over the top doesn’t work for mesh collision but you can lure it in. It’s just more of a pain. but the nets help get rid of all the other hawks. Let me know how it goes
I don't think you understand how helpful and easier to understand this is compared to the other guides
Thanks Jesus. I’m so happy it’s helpful for you 😊
Wow! Blown away by all the tips in this tutorial!
Phenomenal well researched and communicated!
Thanks so much for the compliment i really take pride in my guides. I have a desmodus one too you might like
What a legend! You've done it again, we salute you. Love how the cage is back for yet another handy method.

Thanks Crabby that helps a lot. I tried using brontos and was getting swarmed so much I gave up
Yeah and then if you manage to kill the bronto sometimes you run out of brontos in the area and then start having to use other creatures
So far the best advise for taming! Thanks you lovely lady😊

@@ladyteruki it’s really subtle my husband pointed it out to me 😅
Is it true that you get more taming progress while actively holding the corpse?

I was wondering if the "slaughter" option would work to feed the fjordhawk. Thank you.
I slaughter the sheep in the video and the drag the body over to the fjordhawk
tamed ovis stil work? because they aren't gaining taming bar after eating them
I did this on a non official server recently so I shouldn’t still work? What level I is are you using and is it just one fjordhawk?
Fire wyvern is a good way to get rid of the Hawks you don't want
Yeah 😄 it’s in the video
Not necessary to heal the leveled ovis, and you don’t need to care about cryosickness when you throw out the ovis, you can just unclaim and shotgun it.
yeah I realized that with another comment. It seems weird to add points into health and have it matter but they have 0 health when dead 😂
@@Crabbytron i subbed and put all notifications on, ill watch your videos from now on
@@Charmaine91462 thanks 😊 so much I really the comment and support
Why waste ammo when you can just slaughter it with a pick?
Does the health of the sheep/phiomia matter? Good vid BTW!
Yes in a way a higher level sheep with better health will take more bites to eat. That’s why I recommend bred sheep. And tame as high levels as you can. The sheep are dead so they have 0 health but the more health they have = more feeding for the fjordhawk
use the immersive taming mod
For fjordhawk’s? Or did you mean a different video
Not working on official. For a Ovis with 2k hp I get like 5% on a hawk lvl 150
That’s about right on 1x
Does bolas work?
No they cannot be bola-ed
Much easier to tame brotos and slay those for hawks
They are not as affective as the sheep though.
you dont need to heal the sheep they just need to have some levels in hp dosent mather if they are healed or not
Yeah I know that now cause you just end up murdering them and taking all that Hp away 😂
Dam I just want to go get a hawk,I don't want to spend a day doing it, jeez lol
That’s wildcards MO now. I’d you don’t care about effectiveness get some phiomias
@@Crabbytron I just wanted to go there and kill some wild animals and let the hawk eat. Was hoping it would be that easy
How do you kill your own tame? Can't be done on official server. Nice video for those that play in cheat mode though.
Sorry but you are wrong. The ovis can be killed if you have a melee weapon like a sword or pick in your hand and you bring up the radial menu for the slaughter option. Even on official PVE. This is has been tested with official settings and I never use god mode for taming tutorials.
