Too bad they are slightly less common than electrophoruses, but to find one just go to the bottom of the ocean you will find loads. Then start tranqing one if your mount allows you to equip weapons, (really only ichthy) if it stops mid swim and its head slouches slightly down that means it is knocked out. You can then feed it meat to tame it, while keeping in mind that the ko'ed anglerfish you are looking at will stay deep below the ocean until it is tamed, so if you don't have a scuba tank quickly resurface for oxygen right after you ko the angler, then swim back down to check on it every once in a while. If you swim back to it and it's tamed, you can whistle follow and it will follow you back to the surface really quickly.

YOU CAN RIDE THEM WITHOUT A SADDLE

They will also light up the area in front of them with a soft, bluish light

After you get a mosa kill these and you will have so much anglergel you won't know what to do with it.

Probably because there are already not that many uses for angler gel.

As of the latest patch they collect pearls when you bite them.

This is kind of horrific amd not the most humane thing, but here goes. You can get a few of these, breeds them, and kill the children for angler gel. Just saying 😶

Who thinks they should produce angler gel in their inventory over time like basilos and tusos

P. E. A. R. L. S. That's all you need to know about this amazing creature.

Level up melee to collect more pearls. Level up speed to outswim creatures.

On mobile if you ride an itchyosaur anglers don't agro on you even if you attack them

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.

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.

Thanks for Reading.

Pro tip! Anglerfish can be caught in a fish basket!

On ASA go to bottom left of the map all the way to world border corner for loads of pearls

Good day! Today I'll be looking at the anglerfish.

- What kind of creature is it? -

The anglerfish is a predatory and aggressive fish that lives on the bottom of the water. Its bulb emits a weak light, which attracts other anglers. It's small and has low health, so it's easy to kill it with any underwater creature. (However, without a tamed underwater creature, it can be problematic.)

There are two types of anglerfish:

Normal anglerfish

Aberrant anglerfish (found on the Aberration map)

- How to tame it? -

Since the anglerfish lives in the depths, it can only be knocked out with a crossbow equipped with tranq arrows. For an easy stun, you can bring along an underwater creature with high health and set it to passive. While the anglerfish is biting your creature, you gradually stun it (slowly, because if you shoot at it too often, you can accidentally kill it). After stunning it, place mutton in its inventory (or feed it if you have it) and wait for it to tame. I recommend taking plenty of drugs, as the stun fades quickly.

- Usefulness -

The anglerfish is an excellent pearl gatherer. Although it's small, you can craft a saddle and ride it in the water. The anglerfish collects 5★ worth of pearls, making it an excellent source of this resource, essential for crafting many items. It also has a lamp that can be used to attract other anglers and farm anglerfish gel. It's not ideal for traveling, so use it for pearl gathering. (You can also ride an anglerfish without a saddle, which makes resource consumption easier.)

- Loot -

The anglerfish's loot is meager, but it does provide resources for crafting some items.

Raw fish (meat)

Anglerfish gel (that's the resource)

- Controls -

I tamed an anglerfish, but it was a long time ago, so I only know this:

Bite - LMB

Most likely, either RMB or C lights up the anglerfish's light.

Want infinite fuel?

1. Get yourself a simple underwater tame like a meg

2. Kill anglers for gel

3. Store and keep burning in standing torches or refinery

( STANDING AND WALL TORCHES BURN BLUE)

I collect this with a plesiosaur and can burn 700 metal with just 30. Lucky I collected 5000

Can be used to pick up 60ish pearls instead of 6 or so by hand. Awesome tame now since the update added this.

People keep saying use angler gel for fuel, but that’s a waste. Use wood so you can then get charcoal for gunpowder, something that you constantly need.

Fun fact, Arks anglers are only half correct, you see only the females are big and powerful, the males are tiny and puny and all they do is attach to the female and then get absorbed by her, she steals his privates and then uses it to reproduce. She can do this as many times as she wants, with multiple males fused to her sides as she so pleases. This may sound disturbing, but there's a reason for this, angler live in the deep sea where it's dark and death can loom around the corner, and food can be quite scarce an elusive, so by having the males fuse to a female shortly after birth, allows them to co exist without competing with each other. This is also seen in spiders, but the spiders are less extreme, with the males just being smaller and eating something else, or hunting on the ground in opposition to the female on the web. Of course just like how the titaboa doesn't constrict its prey in ark, things like this are hard to program and difficult to balance. This would no doubt make angler breeding in ark absolutely OP, with allowing the female to select between differnt males to breed with on the same creature.

- 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

You don’t need a saddle to ride them.
