ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Otters are wonderful companions, whether holding artifacts for you, or regulating your temperature, so here’s a guide to help you tame one.
1. Otters are found in most of the rivers on the island, so I recommend just following rivers until you spot one. Sometimes they can blend in with the fish, so take it slow, so you don’t miss one.
2. When you find one, it can be useful to trap it, because they tend to move around a LOT. Either way, you need to kill fish to feed it. The fish have a number next to their name like 1x or 2.3x or .5x. This correlates with the size of it, the higher the number, the bigger the fish. The highest number or biggest fish gives the most taming progress, so go for those. In addition, the type of fish matters. Sabertooth salmon give more progress than coelacanth which is better than piranha.
3. Once you kill the fish, you need to drag it. Then go to the otter. While holding the dead fish and looking at the otter, it will let you feed it to the otter. Repeat this until the tame is finished
Happy taming!

4.It can carry multiple of each artifact unlike you or any other creature.
3.It can be used to find prime fish meat and pearls, allowing you to get food while on expeditions.

So basically if you want to tame them it’s rlly easy even though a lot of people say it’s hard but this is how to do it: First, make sure you have raw fish meat in your inventory. Sabertooth salmon will work best but they also eat megapiranhas and coelacanths will also work, but sabertooth salmon is their favorite and will tame the fastest. So once you have the fish meat in your inventory put it in your hot bar and find your otter. They live near rivers so if you can’t find one just keep checking different parts of the river till you find one and you can check different rivers too. Once you find an otter you like, you’ll need to go really close to it and then tap on the fish meat in your hot bar while you’re close to it to feed it you can also feed then soothing balm to make the taming faster you DON’T knock it out to feed it you just go close to it then tap on the meat from your hot bar and then keep feeding it until it’s tamed. Enjoy your new otter! These little guys are so adorable in my opinion they are the cutest things in ark they’re so precious and cute also they regulate your temperature so if you’re too hot you can pick up the otter and it will make you cool and if you’re too cold you can pick it up and it will provide warmth. Also they can wear hats and they look so adorable to equip them with a hat just put it in their inventory and click equip. You can even send them out to hunt for pearls too. So that’s basically everything you need to know about otters hope this helped!🦦😝
Once I went out to tame Raptors, or... try to shoot one from the safety of my raft... but then I saw a lil otter, my heart melted!!! Then I realized, the OTHER things that were in the area included: A baryonyx, a pack of 7 Raptors, A theri, and sum other aggressive friggin things, and the otter STILL LIVES THERE. Soooo many trikes and parasaurs died to the pack of FREAKING 10 RAPTORS! But the otter. Just lives. How.
