How to tame a Terror Bird in ARK Survival Ascended

The Terror Bird was among the largest apex predators to exist in South America during the Cainozoic. In ARK Survival Ascended, it's a carnivore that feeds on the fauna around the island. Due to being extremely aggressive in temperament, this creature will attack any foreign entity on sight.

For the knock-out taming method, you will require proper preparations — which include taming an Argentavis, acquiring food items, and prepping a trap.

You will require one of the following food items to tame a Terror Bird:

• Regular Kibble
• Raw Mutton
• Raw Prime Meat
• Cooked Prime Meat
• Raw Meat

Regular Kibble is the best option here because it takes the least amount of time to complete the taming process. For the trap, you can build a stone house without a ceiling.

Once you have acquired all the necessary items, you can tame a Terror Bird by grabbing it with an Argentavis and dropping it inside your stone house. Once the creature is inside the trap, you will be able to shoot it with Tranquilizer Arrows or darts without much hassle. Each hit will fill up the torpor meter.

After this meter is full, the giant bird will be rendered unconscious. Feed it the Regular Kibble to complete the taming process.
