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.

I have a lvl 130 and a lvl 70 Eel tamed. I shot a lvl 40 turtle with 2 tranq arrows and lured it into the water and had the eels fight it. They zapped it a lot, but they didn't knock it out or even make it flee from high torpor. They did kill it, but that's not what they're for. I'm told they're taming aids? They're just useless at their only job? Lol my Pachy can actually knock things out, how can my bottom of the hellish ocean tames not? -I- can knock out a lvl 40 turtle with a PRIMITIVE SLINGSHOT.

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

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!!

If you wanna tame these you probably shouldn't use bio toxin, if you accidentally eat the bio toxin while trying to tame it you're going to the heaven gates

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.
