Pelagornis tame

[erra godofmayhem]

Found some flying around the rockey island on the South shore, spotted a 96 so brought it down to tame:

2 darts from a journeyman rifle
used 78 narcotics
Let the food drop from 3000 to 1500
I think it used 19 kibble, then quickly ate the rest during the "name your tame" screen - even though I had put some regular uncooked meat on there. Maybe should have tried raw fish meat.

Took maybe up to an hour or so, below is an image of its stats after tame at level 138 and a size comparison to a pteranadon:

It's great that they fold up their wings like that and barely take up any space.

It ended up with nice HP and stam stats, I'll likely just dump points into speed ... seems like it might get pretty fast.

Just flying down into water makes it land on the water, or using space bar works too.

It has crazy small legs, so it walks super slow.

-edit-

Here is the Ark Wiki page for it:

Which shows its kibble is Compy egg + citronis + cooked fish meat + other basics.

what level is the saddle? and by the rocky island do you mean the peninsula with the rock you can build on up in the air?

I believe you're thinking of the right place. On the map the rocky (yeah it's a pinensula) is around 88 - 55, I found this one just east of there, it ended up coming down around 82 - 63

Not certain about the saddle level, but it's to the left of the fabricator which requires level 40.

Animals always start eating to heal up after they wake up from being tamed. And yes, kibble is the first thing they go for if it is in their inventory. I have always tried to put just enough kibble on them to be able to tame them. You can kind of tell as they get close to taming about how many more kibble it would take. leave plenty of normal food in their inventory so they can heal up, but unless you like making kibble, yeah, only give them enough to tame.

This is in correct.

Dino's once tamed will eat the lowest type of raw food available.

If you just finish taming a trex and have kibble raw meat and raw fish, it will eat the fish first.



The plegio ONLY eats raw fish not meat so if you had no raw fish in it then yes its going to eat the kibble since it doesnt eat meat.

I tame pteranadons pretty regularly and if I put regular meat on them along with kibble, as soon as they're tamed they stop eating the kibble and eat the meat in stead.

That's why I'm thinking since the Pelagornis is a "water-bird" it might need fresh fish meat instead of regular meat.

-edit-

And since there was no info yet on taming this animal, that's why I put enough on to make sure it was tamed. Also why I'm putting this info here, for others to get a basic idea of the process before setting out to tame one if they want to.

Wrong. They will NOT eat kibble first as long as there is any other food they eat in their inventory. I usually drop a whole stack of kibble when taming and get all that is left back after they tame because I always put regular meat or berries on tames incase they run out. Your information is misleading. Make sure you know what you are telling people before giving advice on a public forum.
