Tips & Strategies
While not overtly useful, the angler is a particularly vertile early game ocean mount, it has a built-in light source which is infinite and exceptionally useful, it can collect silica pearls and can attract angler fish for gel farming. Although it is unable to defend itself against the larger predators of the ocean it is capable of outrunning many of them and it does not require a saddle, they can be be found all over the ocean, however the main drawback is that they are deep-water fish and the lengthy tame time means you are vulnerable to deep-water predators without a mount. It's not particularly safe to use underwater compared to some of the other durable mounts like the megalodon, which is easier to tame at a lower level.
Good for use as lanterns if you live on the beach.
More Angler Taming & KO Tips
Use an dolphin to tame because you can shoot off the back and nothing will agro it π
You tame it by knocking it out with tranq arrows what more is there to say other than WATCH OUT FOR THAT HUGE SQUID
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
You donβt need a saddle to ride them.
Can be used to pick up 60ish pearls instead of 6 or so by hand. Awesome tame now since the update added this.
Sarco, scuba, narcs and Tranqs. Make some Lazarus and Fria if you have temperature issues.
EASY tame with kairuku kibble. Harder tame with meat because of torpidity draining fast.
Anglers will attack a bit, but sarco will soak while u tranq. A few hits and it runs away, sarco is faster though so just keep shooting till KO.
They are usually aggressive, but once hurt, they will become skittish and try swim away from you.
You will need;
Itchyosaurus
Crossbow + trance
200+ narcs
3 stone dinosaur gates and 2 doorways
2 scuba tanks
Scuba fins
Make a simple 3-doorway argy trap, and go to the edge of the map off the east coast of Highlands East on Ragnarok. Separate one and simply lure into a trap, knock it out, wait until it has low torpor and then feed it enough narcs so it will go all the way up by itself. As soon as it starts going up, take your ichysoaurus back to the East beach and find an Ovis, and you have plenty of time to get back and get the meat in. Feed itβs narcs until it tames, cryo, and have fun going on 10k+ pearl runs
