Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
THEY FLEE WHEN ATTACKED, JUST LIKE ANGLERS. IF YOUR RIDE GETS SHOCKED, PULL OUT YOUR CROSSBOW, SWIM AWAY FROM YOUR RIDE AND SHOOT THEM, AND ONE BY ONE, THEY WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE.
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.
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
They will spawn in packs of 6 in the caverns of lost faith, packs of 2 in the caverns of lost hope (high levelled), and can spawn in packs of 2 up to 6 anywhere else in the ocean and can be fed (as long as they're not in a cave) even when they're angry and attacking you and your tame.
They can also follow you to the surface since they have no depth limit so if you can't escape them fast enough they can jump your tame after you dismount from it thinking that you're safe.
You know that level 300 mosasaur you have. He is now just a decoration for your base.
When a titanboa meets a troodon that meets a Cnidaria. Makes your life hell!!
Idk why people are saying to swim away from your tame and use crossbows when you get attacked when crossbows have 36 dps and a pack of level 1 electrophoruses have almost triple of that plus if you are off your tame you will be caught in the electrophorus' shock aoe and also be stunned and most likely die in seconds.
But this is 2026 not 2019 so first of all downvtoe the tip that says that as it it outdated, and if you get caught off guard for some reason by electrophoruses while you are on your tame just attack with your tame until they either die or run away as all the electrophorus' "stun" effect does is just prevent you from sprinting and it no longer dismounts you, if you are lucky and you have a meg or ichthy you will survive with half health.
Also if you are on old mobile and you don't wanna lose a lot of health trying to kill them then just swim as fast as you can away from them until they disappear in your render distance as the stun effect from electrophoruses do not exist on old mobile.
I'm tired of passive tames not being passive,these guys,spiders,centipedes,mantas,carcharadontosaurus,rhyniognatha,I'm tired of it.
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^^
