How do I kill a angler? angler battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
From a distance they have a similar appearance as silica pearls. Tread carefully everywhere you go
Beware: Can be in schools of over 100 in some trenches.
on an itchy they won’t attack but on a basil they attack you smh
For some reason, they aggro Kairukus (Penguins) when in the wild. Aberrant versions can and will attack you in surface waters as well, learned that they aggro Kairukus by summoning an Aberrant Angler and then a Kairuku in front of it then it aggroed it! (The Kairuku was wild)
Anglers are found in the deeper parts of the ocean, finding them is as one would guess easy as their lures are easy to see at a distance, they are comparatively easy to kill for gel ( taming food for Mantas and the best fuel in game ) but in groups exceeding three then I suggest running, best take a megaladon.
Also can be lured by other tamed anglers lures.
Emerald forest Valguero has ones in shallow water and are easier to kill and to tame.
Valguero: Found in the aberration area in a shallow stream of all the places. Has a contingent of spino and karkino troops. Expect heavy casualties.
You will need to kill this creature (or a deathworm) for angler gel so you can craft the night vision goggles and electric prod. Also angler gel is the longest lasting light source and can be used on the wall torch or standing torch.
More common the further north you go, so not suggested to such for on south coast.
if you see a pack of electric eels... its already too late
Anglers do aggro on you and your tames on ark mobile. They aren't neutral.
Why don’t they attack you in the snow cave?????
Where there’s one there’s many, and sometimes an Electrophorus, which gives me reel anxiety
Since they tend to retreat and charge after taking some damage,having a fast water mount (or at least flippers) is good to get off and back on when trying to ko or kill. I prefer the Sarco for its AoE bite against multiple and infinite stamina in water (however it only has one speed in water anyways, but it's still fairly quick depending on level). If escape is necessary bite it with the Sarco when it gets too close and swim away when the angler retreats. Crossbows (and most, if not every, other weapon) do work on its back, if you'd rather not get off.
These thing are found in the deep ocean
I saw them in the southern cave be' carefull cuz if u fall in the water you will be stuck there unless you have a belzebufo
They flee after getting bitten once. Weird.
Anglerfish will damage wood. With that said, build a cage on your plesiosaur platform and trap it like a quetz. So much easier.
kill a really good one from the ice cave and revive it. DONT REVIVE IT AT THE OBELISK. instead, put a revival platform in water then revive it. make sure to put it at the shore for easier taming
Run the doisior said it was not aggressive... I lost my moasa cause there were jellyfish.
