Tips & Strategies
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 isnβt friendly for solos. If you must tame it solo as itβs 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 itβs 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!

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
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.
Super easy to tame not even traqs are needed ,
Clear the area
Find the angler
Have it aggro on you
Use a cage to trap it
Place a fish basket
BOOM instant tame
(This works for ictiys too)
No tranqs
No prime fish meat
Your welcome :))
Can be used to pick up 60ish pearls instead of 6 or so by hand. Awesome tame now since the update added this.
You donβt 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.
Use an dolphin to tame because you can shoot off the back and nothing will agro it π
