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.

Warning: taking one of this costs an extreme amount of narcotics, I had found a 170 one and Dododex said I needed around a couple hundred narcotics, I ended up needing 603 bio toxin

They have a LOT of torpor. I tamed a level 10 and it had 1500 torpor

- 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

29 70 in val they are in the 1st abrent area in waste high water easiest way to get them.

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

They are usually aggressive, but once hurt, they will become skittish and try swim away from you.

Very long tame took forever but worth it

It's a good idea to trap them if you can then they can't swim away, making the taming process alot easier.

Make it stronger and more health

Since update these bad boys are amazing for pearls chomp and run. Suggest. Speed and damage

You need more harpoon tranqs than what dododex said. On official, i had to use 60 harpoon tranqs, and dex said it would need 30..

Use a squid to knock them out for a little easy cage free tame

Use a high damage crossbow to avoid accidently killing the angler. If you dont have such a crossbow its highly advised to use tranq darts: however you need to lure the angler into a water cave and shooting it within as longneck rifles cant be use in water. Good luck

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.

Bring a crossbow, so you can shoot underwater.
Easiest way.

Use an acd crossbow as soon as you hit it, it will run follow it until attacks again that's the trick on not killing them

This update is amazing they gather pearls by the hundreds a must have for small tribes makes turrets easier for them to obtain

When breeding, eggs cannot be picked up so plan ahead.

Best Silica Pearl Farmers In Game! Don't be afraid of these guys they're really weak but watch out they can break your oxygen tank, might end up staying at the bottom of the ocean!
