Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
if you use a syringe and drain your health to 10% or lower(without dying ofc lol), the pup will try to heal u aswell entering the state in which u can feed it
Tamed With:
A Primitive Sword(Melee Weapon),
A Low lvl 24 Parasaur,
& Mutton From Arctic(South & North East).
Hit Parasaur HP down to 30/325 - 8/325,
TidePup Heals & Falls Asleep,
Feed Mutton (Equip Food In Last QuickSlot To Feed)
Careful as they can crowd you when lowering your tames health.
Damage from fireplace is a method to build evolution progress.
Rare flowers activate their debuff ability which also counts towards their evolution progress. You can alternate between standing on a campfire and eating rare flowers to evolve them. The wifi symbol on the right is the bebuff cool down and the numbers that show up at the bottom show you the health buffer threshold for the health regen ability. So if you set the threshold to 50 you'll need to take 50 damage to activate the ability. But you'll need to take the damage quickly to reach the threshold. The actual amount of health you have doesn't matter. Once the ability activates the numbers at the bottom will change colors and start to countdown before you can activate the ability again. The number of times you need to activate one of the abilities to get a growth surge seems to change as you progress
easiest way to tame a Tidepup is just to bring a small dino that you can safely injure a little, walk it over to the Tidepup, and let the little guy heal it. Every time it finishes healing your dino, you get a chunk of taming progress. Then you just wait for the Tidepup to chill for a bit, hurt your dino again (not too much), and repeat the process. It’s super low‑stress since the Tidepup doesn’t get aggressive or anything, so you can take your time and just cycle the heal → rest → heal loop until it’s yours.
you will NOT ko him if you try to I will hunt your base down and destroy it you just gotta heal your tames from this dude
If you wanna find some quick, just use the NW spawn for ocean biome. Head SE after you teleport. You'll find plenty in and around the cove there.
Youn need to take your dino and injure it down to less than 10% health then ride it up to tidepup and it will do a green heal affect and sleep while sleeping feed it raw meat or kibble soon as ur done u can dmg your dino down to 10% of its health again and just keep repeating the process just make sure u dont hot the tidepup by accident bc it will follow your character while ur injuring your dino if u do it will lose taming and if you stab a second tidepup to get it to go away the one ur trying to tame will run to but just give it a minute then go up to it again it wont loose and taming if you dont take to long

The Tidepup is an axolotl-like amphibian companion for ARK: Survival Ascended, introduced with Bob's True Tales: Tides of Fortune alongside Genesis: Part 1. It can stay perched on your shoulder or grow into a larger form with a potent set of unique abilities. Time at your side shapes it, and the way you raise it and lean on it under pressure can steer how it evolves. When it finally falters, it may retreat into a dormant state and return reformed, blurring the line between defeat and survival.
What does a Tidepup eat? In ARK: Survival Evolved, the Tidepup eats Regular Kibble, Raw Mutton, Raw Prime Meat, Cooked Lamb Chop, Cooked Prime Meat, Raw Prime Fish Meat, Raw Meat, Cooked Prime Fish Meat, Cooked Meat, Raw Fish Meat, and Cooked Fish Meat.
