Lampost illuminates 22ft circle, these will illuminate 50 yard area if base is near water

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.

I'd you can revive in water and you live over water they make the best lighting for a base .

Use a fish basket in abberation to to take them to different water areas

I would recommend taming a Basilosaurus first because they are not affected by shocks from eels and easy way to get bio toxin then you can scout one out. Best bet use harpoon gun with tranq spears to not kill. Spend a little time on icebergs gathering kairuku eggs and your all set.

Making a tip for every creature on Genesis 1

Pt. 2

The angler

Temperament: agressive to player, not to other water mounts even if ridden by a player.

Diet: carnivore, so feed it kibble or mutton

Taming: to tame, ride an icthy or shark, and shoot from afar, be careful of eels and other sharks, and when it falls asleep, it still looks awake, so make sure to check you didn’t shoot too many at it and ruined the effectiveness. After you’ve knocked it out you need to protect it from other things, if an eel aggros you and accidentally hits it, it’s effectively useless as taming effectiveness is gone.

Uses: the angler is a NEED for pearl farming, you can get over 5k easily, but watch out for ammonites and make sure to bring a mosa or shark to protect yourself

Final rating: 5/10

Making one of these for all animals on Gen 1 so go check em out!

Last tip: allosaurus

Best map I’ve found to tame these so far is Valguero:

Just go to the bio / aberration cave, and there’s a shallow river with tons of them there, you can even use tranq darts while standing out of the water.

Just be careful to bring tons of narcotics for it, and a fairly strong mount to clear and guard the place, it’s full of karkinos and spinos

The gel they drop is useful for keeping a fire burning for a longer duration of time

Be careful not to rife one with a light pet on. For some reason it rises the torp on angler thus knocking him out while riding.

Very long tame took forever but worth it

Best for harvesting silica pearls after patch v257.

In Mobile, these things spawn in the water section of the lower south cave the one you get the hunter artifact from.

4 points   🔧 Utility   Mar 30, 2024   Report

These spawn mostly at the deep sea in herbivore Island on mobile

They don't attack except provoked

I nearly got shocked to death by electric eel trying to tame these guys

I'm thinking of creating an ark survival group... Let's talk ark

Most likely gonna have too give it more narcotics than actually listed if higher level. Calculator not as accurate for this one

4 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Mar 11, 2024   Report

These guys are a nightmare to tame on mobile.They have too much topor,their torpor runs fast and prime meat(the best food besides kibble) doesn’t even tame it fast so pls have soothing balm or kibbles

There's nothing quite like having one of these sneak up behind you while illuminating the toothy grin of a plesi.

15 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Dec 14, 2020   Report

The best place to tame them is on Eldritch Isles in crystal isles, they spawn inside those water bubbles making it easy to shoot darts or even shocking tranq darts on them from the outside of the bubbles. Watch out for the piranas there because once tamed they will just eat your newly tamed Angler.
