Tips & Strategies

The dilophosaurus of the seas...
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 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.

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

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
Very long tame took forever but worth it
In Mobile, these things spawn in the water section of the lower south cave the one you get the hunter artifact from.
Most likely gonna have too give it more narcotics than actually listed if higher level. Calculator not as accurate for this one
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.
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.
