Okay so on asa to actually tame these things you need to do 1 of 2 methods.. have a buddy who can bring you prime while you sit and wait with it because the torpor timer isn’t friendly for solos. If you must tame it solo as it’s used to get way more silica pearls than you can get by hand (you literally swim up to the pearl and attack and it will gather the pearls. About 50-60 per pearl vs your hand which is like 12-20 max. If you must tame solo grab about 500 narco berries specially narco berries and let the torpor drain just about all the way down. Feed all of them but keep a narcotic of some sort on you wether it’s biotoxin or narcotics for when you get back but the naroberries will take a lot longer to fill the torpor meter giving you an extended amount of time to go out and find a few babies for prime. Unless your far enough in or lucky enough to have or know where some Ovis are. Best time to tame these are on 2x weekends or holiday events. Or your favorite boosted server. But follow either methods and enjoy mass amounts of electronics!

As of the latest patch they collect pearls when you bite them.

On ASA go to bottom left of the map all the way to world border corner for loads of pearls

This is kind of horrific amd not the most humane thing, but here goes. You can get a few of these, breeds them, and kill the children for angler gel. Just saying 😶

P. E. A. R. L. S. That's all you need to know about this amazing creature.

Who thinks they should produce angler gel in their inventory over time like basilos and tusos

On mobile if you ride an itchyosaur anglers don't agro on you even if you attack them

Level up melee to collect more pearls. Level up speed to outswim creatures.

How to Tame a Anglerfish:

-use a crossbow with enough tranq arrows (toxicant)

And ride a itchy to Not be attack.

-then go to the Deep sea and kill the rest of the creatures That you're surronding (except the Anglerfish)

-after you find it, Knock it then Feed it with prime meat or kibble and in case some biotoxin.

Then you got yourself a Anglerfish :0

Utility: the Anglerfish doesn't need a Saddle, you can ride freely but it will be more vulnerable to attacks.

The Anglerfish can harvest tons of Pearls and a bit of Blackpearl and it's good for going to caves for a better view and has decent damage.

Pro tip! Anglerfish can be caught in a fish basket!

Be really care when knocking these things out from a distance! Unfortunately they don't look knocked out when they are so continuing to shoot darts at them can be an easy an unfortunate mistake to make.

- Main use for this tame is using the Angler as a "lure" for other anglers kill anglers for their gel. The gel is the longest burning fuel in the game at approx. 6 minutes per 1 gel

- secondly use is a light source underwater

Fun fact, Arks anglers are only half correct, you see only the females are big and powerful, the males are tiny and puny and all they do is attach to the female and then get absorbed by her, she steals his privates and then uses it to reproduce. She can do this as many times as she wants, with multiple males fused to her sides as she so pleases. This may sound disturbing, but there's a reason for this, angler live in the deep sea where it's dark and death can loom around the corner, and food can be quite scarce an elusive, so by having the males fuse to a female shortly after birth, allows them to co exist without competing with each other. This is also seen in spiders, but the spiders are less extreme, with the males just being smaller and eating something else, or hunting on the ground in opposition to the female on the web. Of course just like how the titaboa doesn't constrict its prey in ark, things like this are hard to program and difficult to balance. This would no doubt make angler breeding in ark absolutely OP, with allowing the female to select between differnt males to breed with on the same creature.

Sister and I found one max level in the aberation area in Valguero.

We began darting it to tame it.

It did not want to be tamed.

It literally beached itself and died.

I caught the whole thing on clip.

I was laughing but my sister was pissed.

Want infinite fuel?

1. Get yourself a simple underwater tame like a meg

2. Kill anglers for gel

3. Store and keep burning in standing torches or refinery

( STANDING AND WALL TORCHES BURN BLUE)

I collect this with a plesiosaur and can burn 700 metal with just 30. Lucky I collected 5000

People keep saying use angler gel for fuel, but that’s a waste. Use wood so you can then get charcoal for gunpowder, something that you constantly need.

Can be used to pick up 60ish pearls instead of 6 or so by hand. Awesome tame now since the update added this.

You don’t need a saddle to ride them.

DO NOT use a crossbow for knocking out! Not for all shots anyway.

Use half to 60% of what Dododex recommends for crossbow, then finish the rest with harpoon tranq to avoid killing these guys.

I feel like Dododex is way off with their approximation of a 19% chance of death with a crossbow tranq. I'd say it's more of a 80%+ chance you will kill these with tranq only.
