How do I tame a otter? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a otter.
Use a Pteranodon and grab it on water. YES! YES YOU CAN GRAB OTTERS ON WATER USING PTERA AND PLACE OTTER ON A 1x1 THACH WALL THEN FEED WITH FISH LIKE SO EVERYONE CAN SEE
On mobile u feed them raw fish meat!!!!!!! Pls ^ if helpful and so more mobile player can see
I almost had my otter die while clapping a bronto with a shotgun because he only eats fish
1 yes = 1 more otters in ARK 2
They are really hard to find look in small ponds with fish
Taming and utilizing the otter
Chapter one: location
The otter in Ark ASA the Island map can be found in the northern part of the red woods, and major river ways. The spawn points make them hard to find, and since the otters are so tiny. There is a small spot in the swamp area where they spawn but recommend not going there since there could be kapros, sacros, and deinosuchus’s (if you have the mod). Theres also a small lake in the redwood towards the west where you can find them
Chapter two: taming
There’s two ways, an easy way and more difficult way. The easy way is you want to find it and you want to have an argentavis and catch it. It will be in your argie’s mouth and you would want to catch fish, preferably sabertooth salmon, (1.5x size is the best). Kill it and drag the body to the otter and feed it. The harder way is when you find it in the water. You just wanna kill fish and drag it towards it and feed it. It’s more difficult because you could lose sight of the otter, or it could die.
Chapter 3: Utilizes
One major utility is that it could regulate your body temperature. When you pick it up on your shoulder, it gives you heat and cold resistances. This could help you with longer expeditions and the north of the island. You can get better resistance if you increase their melee damage. Another utility is that it could hold more than one artifact at a time, unlike you and any other. You can put hats on it, which makes it look even cuter than it already is. Hopes this helps!!
This is my first tip next will be a dodo

Just feed it fish on mobile. I have four words words Belle otter allo pack one like for one ancient amber for her
These little guys are so much easier to tame in mobile, but harder to find. You still need to kill a megipirahna, but you don’t need to grab its corpse to feed the otter. After harvesting its meat you can easily walk up to it and feed it until it’s tamed. It doesn’t run away in mobile, and I’m sure you can use any fish meat.
Dear owner of Harry otter. I feel bad for you. I hope you find him. If not, go where you equip clothes, tap your number of tamed, and request him.
best to tame a ichthyornis and carry it with you when looking for one of these guys, put the ichthyornis on hunt and retrieve it will catch a fish and bring it back golden and will have a better taming affect to feed to otter, like this up its very important peeps must know :)))
Just push this cute lil creature in front of a giga and it'll have an existential crisis. Realising the path of destruction it left in its wake and deteriorate in front of the otters blue sparkly marble eyes
If you club or punch the otter you are a terrible person ?
I grapple hooked it, friend fed it fish while it couldn't run around, just stayed at the end of my improvised leash.
On mobile: You can tame it passively by feeding it, prime fish meat > cooked prime fish meat > raw fish meat > cooked raw fish meat.
You can pick them up with Argies and tame them right in your base or if you have taming food on your hot bar, you can tame them in the air while the argy is carrying them.
They can’t carry artifacts on mobile but they still insulate both you and fertilized eggs.
If youre on a server that doesnt let you pick up wilds in pve because the host is a baby back itch then youll just have to get lucky the old fashioned way
I can imagine the noobs trying to tame Otters by knocking them out. And get a dead otter as a result. Don't knock out otters, it will kill them. Just use fish
Otters are a great company for you if you love dinos the you can put on your shoulder
It is tamed in the same way as the Hesperornis, where you have to carry a dead fish to it. Larger fish, and those caught by Ichthyornis, apparently work better. Piranha are better than coelacanths for taming, and salmon are better than piranha.
I caught my otter with a argen, just pick it up then press C to pop it into the birds mouth and he can’t escape! Land the birb and feed him Sabertooth fish for a fast and easy tame!! Up so other who don’t know this can see it, the argentavis is very useful for monkeys too!!
Just kidnappe it and feed them with fish ._.
If you have an Argy, fly over the otter and pick it up with the argy's beak ('C' on pc). Land the argy and let the otter hang out in its beak while you bring fish over. I found I needed to drop the fish and pick it back up to target the otter. After having done this by following around a scampering otter with a dead fish pinwheeling wildly in my hands for 10 minutes the first time, I will never ever attempt it again without my argy.
