Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a electrophorus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a electrophorus.
Just tamed two on official. I built a small 2x6 box with a Dino gateway out of stone. Park my Dino nearby, then swim with flippers to gain aggro. Kited 4 into box, and i escaped through doorframes. 2 somehow got out through a hole in the ceiling before i could patch it. After a death and some shit, it's was super easy to feed them biotoxin without getting shocked. The stone walls protect you fully. I don't see an easier way if you build your own right.
Use a basilosaurus. Wear scuba goggles,tank,flippers and then wear riot pants and gloves for torpor reduction. Only try and tame one at a time. Wait until it is 2/3 done discharging, and then hop off and feed it bio toxin before it runs away. When you hop off a basilosaurus, the electric immunity lasts a short while after getting off.
I have just tamed one and it was shocking me for hours I am still getting shocked now so ride on a manta they can shock them as well but it’s not a none painful experience to have
Best way to tame these guys if your on mobile first tame a itchysauruas
Do it with quest for free saddle then. Just go up to eel and feed it. The eel won’t aggro to you as long as your on your mount
So we tame a 110 plesi then go to get pearls and oil from underwater caves then a group of eels come out of nowhere and stun it. Since we couldn't do anything, it died. Then to our luck that day, a squid comes behind us and we die too and didnt get our stuff back...
EXTREMELY easy tame. Simply grab an itchy (bc there fast) and tame one with bio toxin. Don’t hit it bc it’s a passive tame. Just feed it, go to the surface for oxygen and repeat till it’s tamed. **NOTE : be extremely careful while feeding it, make sure you don’t eat the bio toxin bc you will be knocked out and drown**
Easy tame feed bio toxins don’t know why boo toxins poV u have a electro don’t know why you need one
These are found in the really deep sea…..
A eel in the deep sea…where anglerfish roam in packs with over 4,000 and 2 dunkleostus. A “Electrothorus” is flatter and smaller than the one in this picture
Just passive tame these guys and follow and leave on aggressive there good protesters against predators in ocean cave and the ocean when exploring use basilo to distracted then use bio toxin
On mobile I tamed one by luring it to the surface and getting out of the water then going back when it got hungry and feeding it raw meat. Easy take looks nice and if you take a pack of them you can knock out even a MOSA take as many as you can!!
If you’re trapping them in a trap for other creatures too, be advised they can get through really small holes, even windows.
Build a double sided pen on ocean shelf. Riding an ichy, lure the eel close to the pen. Ride ichy into one side and close door. Once the eel moves into other side, close door trapping it inside. Once it starts poking its head out, feed it till tamed. You may die a few times until you master this technique.
In mobile,they can be tame easily just by feeding while riding itchys,they will not aggro you whatsoever.The problem is taking them back to your home water because all the megalodons around the water will aggro on it.I advice to leave where you tame or bring it into a underwater cave and leave it there,and then request it back once you get to safe water.
Can be kited easily with flippers into a taming pen. Use a Dino gateway for entrance, and door frames for player exit. Stone walls will protect you from shock attack.
WATT are these things? They look quite SHOCKING. Now that I’ve had a closer look, they seem a little reVOLTing, and now they’re gathered outside of my OHM.
Super easy to tame
Step 1. Find one and get its attention on a mount
Step 2. Back up a bit and jump off your mount
Make sure you don't go to far away otherwise it will go for you, then swim up to it and feed it as it won't attack you but will attack your mount (It's a lot easier then it sounds)
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 can’t not aggro them, but repellant doesn’t 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 it’s 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.
I want it to be easy to tame and find this
The best way I've found to tame them is to use a basilosaurus,then lure a single electro away from the group and have it shock you (on the mount). Wait about a second for the shock to end and quickly jump off and spam E (keep biotoxin in the 0 slot). *A large school of these can quickly stun and immbobilze larger mounts and knockout players fairly quickly, so use caution!*
