ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
I've currently not wanted an Angler due to to their only use being for the gel that let's us Tame Cndinarias, but I know how to. First, go very, very deep into the ocean(Like, Mosa deep.), and look around for a blinding light. Turn up the gamma if you must, and you'll likely find an Angler to tame. Use Shock Darts, maybe a a Dunkylo to get you down there and protect you, and watch out for Mosasauruses or Eurptyds. You might also find the Squid down there, but I forgot it's name. Anglers aren't nessacerily a better tame in the game, but if you want, that's how you do it!

THESE ARE ALSO FOUND IN THE LOST ISLAND MAP, IT WON'T SHOW UP ON DODO DEX SO UP THIS TO SPREAD THE WORD.
In the scary ice cave their are anglers up to double max level
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.
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.
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.
No, you don't need a saddle.....
