Taming and Utilizing the Pelagornis in ARK

Introduction

  • Host: Flinger Foo
  • Topic: Pelagornis - its taming process, uses, and characteristics

Taming the Pelagornis

Recommended Equipment

  • Crossbow: Essential for knocking out the Pelagornis.
  • Icthyornis: Helpful for gathering prime fish meat, which is the preferred food for taming.
  • Bola: Used to immobilize the Pelagornis for easy knocking out.
  • Narcotics: Necessary to keep the Pelagornis unconscious during the taming process.
  • Pegomastax Kibble: Preferred kibble for a quicker and more efficient tame.

Taming Procedure

  1. Wait for the Pelagornis to land.
  2. Use a bola to immobilize it.
  3. Use the crossbow to knock it out (aim for headshots if possible).
  4. Monitor torpor levels constantly; it decreases quickly.
  5. Feed prime fish meat (or Pegomastax kibble if available) to the unconscious Pelagornis.

Characteristics of Pelagornis

  • Torpor: Decreases quickly; requires constant monitoring.
  • Diet: Eats only fish meat (preferably prime fish meat).
  • Preferred Kibble: Pegomastax kibble.
  • Habitats and Behaviors:
    • Can land and traverse on water.
    • Attracts aquatic predators when on water, useful for leading predators into traps.

Stats and Leveling

  • Typical Starting Stats: Low stamina and moderate health and melee damage.
  • Stat Allocation: Focus on increasing stamina due to its low default value.

Crafting the Saddle

  • Required Materials:
    • 75 Keratin/Chitin
    • 125 Fiber
    • 230 Hide
  • Crafting Level: Level 43

Advanced Uses

  • Organic Polymer Farming: Effective for harvesting extra organic polymer from Kairuku in the snow biome.
  • Fishing Platform: Acts as a mobile fishing platform on water, allowing for rapid and efficient harvesting of fish.
  • Attack Efficiency on Fish: Deals extra damage to fish when on water.

Practical Tips

  • Keep an eye on torpor levels; they fall quickly.
  • Great for luring and taming aquatic predators like megalodons.
  • Use as a mobile platform for safe fishing and organic polymer farming.

Conclusion

  • Summary: Pelagornis, although not the most popular flyer, has unique benefits and can be very effective for specific tasks.
  • Encouragement to Try: Consider adding a Pelagornis to your arks for its unique abilities.

Note: Ensure to monitor your Pelagornis's stats and torpor regularly to maintain an effective and functional mount.
