Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a angler? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a angler.
It's a good idea to trap them if you can then they can't swim away, making the taming process alot easier.
Since update these bad boys are amazing for pearls chomp and run. Suggest. Speed and damage
Most likely gonna have too give it more narcotics than actually listed if higher level. Calculator not as accurate for this one
Sarco, scuba, narcs and Tranqs. Make some Lazarus and Fria if you have temperature issues.
EASY tame with kairuku kibble. Harder tame with meat because of torpidity draining fast.
Anglers will attack a bit, but sarco will soak while u tranq. A few hits and it runs away, sarco is faster though so just keep shooting till KO.
Very long tame took forever but worth it
I would recommend taming a Basilosaurus first because they are not affected by shocks from eels and easy way to get bio toxin then you can scout one out. Best bet use harpoon gun with tranq spears to not kill. Spend a little time on icebergs gathering kairuku eggs and your all set.
MOBILE
Pan one tap knocks these to the head!
The best place to tame them is on Eldritch Isles in crystal isles, they spawn inside those water bubbles making it easy to shoot darts or even shocking tranq darts on them from the outside of the bubbles. Watch out for the piranas there because once tamed they will just eat your newly tamed Angler.
Bring a crossbow, so you can shoot underwater.
Easiest way.
Hard… died 7 times trying to keep it asleep
Use a high damage crossbow to avoid accidently killing the angler. If you dont have such a crossbow its highly advised to use tranq darts: however you need to lure the angler into a water cave and shooting it within as longneck rifles cant be use in water. Good luck
Use an acd crossbow as soon as you hit it, it will run follow it until attacks again that's the trick on not killing them
When taming use a net gun to immobilize the angler then use the highest dealing torpor weapon possible. Make sure you hit it consecutively else it will lose its torpor quick.
If looking in Val check out ab zone rivers. Super easy to tame there. Don't need scuba gear just munch all sarcos in area first.
Everyone’s making it hard on themselves tame them in the blue sone river on abb that way you don’t have to go in the deep dark ocean to get them:) plus there body glows in the dark as well:) hope this helps:)
Why can't I tame one inside the strong cave in mobile, plzz help 🥲
To knock out this creature, you need crossbow with a toxicant or tranq arrows,
Best place to find an tame them is Valguero Abb in the shallow river
This update is amazing they gather pearls by the hundreds a must have for small tribes makes turrets easier for them to obtain
When breeding, eggs cannot be picked up so plan ahead.
