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.

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