Supremist Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) I went to the valley surrounded by snow where the Fjordur hawks are located and found several of them and then proceeded to kill everything in sight while riding on my andrewsarchus and the hawks began to feed on the corpses but only the first two hawks showed any taming progress. After that other hawks didn't even show any taming %, I walked up to hawks that were feeding on dinos that I killed but it didn't show any taming % on them. This a bug or what? Also the hawks wouldn't feed on an alpha raptor's corpse that I killed, feature or bug? Edited June 14, 2022 by Supremist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelantious Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Seems very wonky right now. Tried several but the taming progress seems to reset at random. Closest I've gotten is 94%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcard QA +Evza Posted June 14, 2022 Wildcard QA Share Posted June 14, 2022 Did you get the last hit on the dinos you killed for the Fjordhawk? If I remember correctly, your team has to deal the killing blow for the fjordhawk to gain taming affinity. If that wasn't the case, any other info would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supremist Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Yes Evza I got the last hit on all the dinos I killed. I was riding my andrewsarchus while killing the dinos so I killed one dino with a crossbow just to see if it would make a difference but it didn't, still no taming %.

kyranight Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It seems to only raise % when you are not on a mount, but you can still kill things with your dino. So when you see it landing and walking to the corpse hop off your mount and get back on when it flies up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcard QA +Evza Posted June 17, 2022 Wildcard QA Share Posted June 17, 2022 @kyranight Thanks, I was able to reproduce that. If anyone notices any other issues with taming that doesn't seem related to being mounted, lemme know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicSkeleton Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I find that the best option is to carry an Ovis over to their spawn location and whack it nearby. When all of the hawks are trying to feed only a few in the group will gain affinity as there's only so many bites that can be taken even if they do the animation. Since Ovis take FOREVER to be eaten through this guarantees that a sizable group can all not only gain affinity but also get a sizable boost due to raw mutton being so valuable. If you're on your own just flip on the tame tracker for the hawks if you require multiple sheep to keep them in sight while you trek out for more, the Ovis spawn a bit out of the way of the hawks stomping grounds so it's pretty useful. Elsewise just have yourself, a tribemate, and any flyers with significant dragweight take turns scooping and carrying them over to be slaughtered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multikill Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 fjordhawk taming with Ovis doesn't work as well as before since the last patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L4D2 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 well i tried over and over , and this hawk taming is frustrating , didn't even get a level 20 tamed first of all you don't need to kill the dino by hand, you can killed them with your tame, BUT you have to be dismounted when the hawk feeds from the dead dino, but taming is still bugged , because sometimes no matter what you do the hawk eat the dino but doesn't gain any affinity, i am playing on official server at 2x on pve, so i cannot grab dino to feed the bird, and if it takes too much time between feeding the progress drop, i tried feeding a bronto to a lv 20 hawk and i only got 15% taming so imagine a lv 150, got to find a female ovis, as of now i only have a male, and i don't want to waste it on a bloody hawk, got to raise ovis, and try that later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevAKASolo Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 So i spend two days taming large Dinos ie Brontos Diplos Mamoths and then it gats patched and now the Hawks dont eat my dead tames ;( Now what hoop do i need to jump through to tame these things ???? yet another stupid taming method dreamed up to P##s us off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlendermanStan Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I can confirm on PVE 1188 hawks no longer eat killed tames. Affinity gains are to low for higher level hawks and often the taming completely wipes out for an unknown reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luizza Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Pretty gutted they removed that you could use ur own tames. Raising a small army of tames to be used has got to be just as much effort as finding random wild tames, and on official PVE where spawns of anything seem to be incredibly low it's almost essential. Please WC rethink removing the ability to use your own tames, how about only tames imprinted to the tamer can be used? A good compromise as it requires the effort of breeding so doesn't make it too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L4D2 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 judging by the comment they removed the ability to feed the hawk with your own tame, so right now on pve solo it is almost impossible to tame a hawk, maybe a lv 20 it would take like 7 bronto, hopefully someone find a better way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetJaguar Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 So what seems to work, as dumb as it is: Kill your high level tamed sheep. Lure a smaller dino over (dodo for example) Kill it and drag body over top the sheep. Hawk will eat both the dino kill and sheep and tame... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also can confirm will not land to eat your own tames that you kill. Unless, like JetJaguar said, you drag another dead wild ontop of your dead tame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelantious Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I'm curious what the creators intent for the hawk is regarding starter, middle or high player level tame? Because given the utility of the hawk I'd say it should be a starting pet, since that's when it'll suck if you die as it'll most likely be hard to get back to your body. But once you're at middle or high level then you'll have multiple flyers and other high level dinos so getting back your stuff is cake. And also by then you'll be using an otter for insulation since you'll either have flak/riot or tek armour which sucks at the warm and cold places. Since right now it's definitely not a starter tame, or even middle tame if you want a high level one. And you'd pretty much need two players since it's pretty scarce with big wild dinos in the areas. 3 brontos barely did anything for a level 150 hawk, and since the hawk will drop it's taming if they get hit by a wild dinos attack. Which is a big chance it will when trying to kill a bronto then yeah. Annoying tame. The player the hawk follows just have to stay put and another player brings in barely alive dinos. And then there's the fun of other hawks that you're not trying to tame that lands faster and eats first.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VendettaX7 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I tried taming several hawks, it's near impossible now on official servers. At X2 rates i got about 0.4% taming from a parasaur. In that valley there isn't much wildlife around and no big creatures like bronto's or paracers. The decay on the taming seems very high to, by the time i killed a second parasaur (which took less than a minute) the taming had dropped to 0.2%. This was on a lvl 95 hawk, and it was the only one around. I was realy looking forward to the Fjordhawks, it was my most preferred tame from the new map. Seems like i'll have to "buy" one now from the few that did manage to tame some early on with the rock elemental trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyranight Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) So here is all the information I have gathered about the taming mechanics for the Fjordhawk that are noteworthy. Taming % raises if you are not mounted. You can still kill things with a tame but you must be not mounted before the hawk starts feeding. If the fjordhawk is following you while you are on foot if you get on a tame the Hawk will fly away in a random direction until out of render distance.

Wildcard QA +Evza Posted June 21, 2022 Wildcard QA Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Hey guys, thanks for all your info. We are aware of and working on the following issues with Fjordhawk taming: 1. When eating a corpse the player has killed, Fjordhawk will not gain taming affinity (progress) when the player is mounted (PC and Console) 2. Fjordhawk will no longer eat tamed dinos to gain taming affinity (progress) on PVE servers (PC and console) If there are any additional problems (different from the ones mentioned above), please let me know in this thread and I will investigate, thanks Edited June 22, 2022 by Evza 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
