Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
If you start to overheat or freeze to much tame
one of these guys. Because they can control
your temp if you press E to pick it up! Best
shoulder mount ever! Up so noobs can see!!
Helpful Tip: Did you know you can hatch eggs using these mfs? First, tame 3 otters, place them in a triangular shape with the egg in the center, then BOOM!! u got yourself a baby dino. Nature's incubator.
Who here admits otters are the cutest creatures in ark? Who else wishes for an X 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
Already said but worth saying again - upgrade its melee damage for more cold resistance!
Iβve read many of the comments and I just want to clarify that the otter insulates you. Meaning yes it will protect you from the cold, however it also helps keep you cool from heat.
When tamed put these lil guys on wander so they passively make black pearls and silica pearls
The otter can be very useful for gathering fish meat β it will harvest fish on demand. You can also use it to forage for Silica Pearls, and it will occasionally find Black Pearls.
Quick Tip: You can equip them with a Heavy Minerβs helmet if you want them to also work as a light shoulder pet!
