Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
- Have the angler follow you in to an underwater cave. Hop off your mount and use tranq darts/arrows to know out
- build under water taming pen (Stone foundations/stone doorframes for walls/ stone ceilings) bring extra stone doorframe to close the walls behind you when the angler goes in to the 2x2 foundations/doorframes/ceilings

THESE ARE ALSO FOUND IN THE LOST ISLAND MAP, IT WON'T SHOW UP ON DODO DEX SO UP THIS TO SPREAD THE WORD.
In the scary ice cave their are anglers up to double max level
Pro tip! Anglerfish can be caught in a fish basket!
Be really care when knocking these things out from a distance! Unfortunately they don't look knocked out when they are so continuing to shoot darts at them can be an easy an unfortunate mistake to make.
- Main use for this tame is using the Angler as a "lure" for other anglers kill anglers for their gel. The gel is the longest burning fuel in the game at approx. 6 minutes per 1 gel
- secondly use is a light source underwater
Sister and I found one max level in the aberation area in Valguero.
We began darting it to tame it.
It did not want to be tamed.
It literally beached itself and died.
I caught the whole thing on clip.
I was laughing but my sister was pissed.
DO NOT use a crossbow for knocking out! Not for all shots anyway.
Use half to 60% of what Dododex recommends for crossbow, then finish the rest with harpoon tranq to avoid killing these guys.
I feel like Dododex is way off with their approximation of a 19% chance of death with a crossbow tranq. I'd say it's more of a 80%+ chance you will kill these with tranq only.
You donβt need a saddle to ride them.
Can be used to pick up 60ish pearls instead of 6 or so by hand. Awesome tame now since the update added this.
No, you don't need a saddle.....
