Tips & Strategies
Use a basilo. Isolate the eel you want by killing the others, you can try to tame multiple at once but it gets hard to time the shocks. You canβt not aggro them, but repellant doesnβt work, just let them attack. The eel will shock, then bite a few times as it charges up, flee a bit, then come back and shock again. Wait for the shock to be over, dismount while itβs biting your basilo, feed it biotoxin, then remount the basilo for safety and wait for the next feed. Seems to take about 2 shock cycles for a low level to want the second feed. I was able to do this without taking any damage or torpor on my character.

You should ride a Basilo,aggro the eels and then feed them.Usethe basilo cuz it is immune to the shock and is a huge TANK to widstand the tank.
I keep experiencing this bug where it shocks me from far away.
Some taming info:
A tamed tuso can grab these amd a teammate can then feed it bio toxin.
They deal torpor damage.
They have an electric aoe attack that damages and stuns players. While stunned you can feed it if close enough and temporarely use stims and medical brews.
Even with flippers they will outswim you.
Rush in and feed while stunned(use stims and medical brews)
Their electric aoe slows and renders all creutures unable to attack with the exception of the basilosaurus.
Don't build under water near red on i
Made the mistake now I live under the water permanently as they killed my ichthyosaurs and megoladons and my best friend is a starfish
When a titanboa meets a troodon that meets a Cnidaria. Makes your life hell!!
Tame with biotoxin, it's realmente easy to get:).
(Tested in mobile)
1: find some Cnidaria, they spawn near the shore. (The glowing jellyfish, if you don't know how they look)
2: get in the water, then go out. they won't move for some seconds, but they will get closer to you. Do this until they get near the shore, where they can't get you.
3: kill them; DON'T GET TO CLOSER. They can shock you, and you won't move for some seconds. Normally they spawn in groups of 3.
4: farm the biotoxin, you can get around 13 from every corpse.
Idk if this can be also done in pc or console. Hope this helps!, up for more players to see it^^
(sorry for bad spelling, english it's not my first language)
These are passive tames. In my experience trying to tame a 145. You will find having a Basilosaurus will provide you with a mount immune to the shock.
Wear a combination of Riot and Scuba gear. Bring multiple sets. They will destroy your tanks and flippers if you get hit enough times. Lone eels do not deal enough torpor to be a substantial threat with the riot gear.
The hard part is feeding them. They will glow bright blue (without goggles on) when they have built up a charge, and charge you. Discharge a 7 second stun, bite and then flee.
Lure them into an enclosed area. Such as a trap for water tames or a river. This will reduce their mobility and make them an easier tame than in the open ocean. Because they will flee the majority of the tame if they have the room to do so.

I donβt see why it is a passive tame
WHO ID CHANGING THE PICS π so peeps see
Riot armor for torpor reduction and increased oxygen to chase them down recommended
