Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a angler? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a angler.
If looking in Val check out ab zone rivers. Super easy to tame there. Don't need scuba gear just munch all sarcos in area first.
To knock out this creature, you need crossbow with a toxicant or tranq arrows,
Inaccurate bring way more narcotics, also wait to feed a little longer while using mutton
Best place to find an tame them is Valguero Abb in the shallow river
Use to gather silica pearls. They just chomp the pearls so no more dismounting and running for your life when a Moses comes up on you,way more efficient then gathering by hand. Get one and your silica pearl problem is over
Found in the really, insanely deep sea……………….
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
Hard… died 7 times trying to keep it asleep
Use a squid to knock them out for a little easy cage free tame
Beware! It's hard to tell when it's unconscious if you're not close.
Did you know if you have a pond or cage you set M and F on wonder they breed and egg incubates in the water and hatches rite there no need for water incubator. Just need to remember to claim and put Mae in water after.
Very good for getting pearls you can get 6000 just under 30mins
With 1 mating pair you can produce tons of baby's in 10-15min. Just catch female in fish basket and release to reset breed timer.
Build an underwater pen with doorframes, ceilings and dino gate, lure it in and knock it out with harpoon gun (using crossbow/bow is likely to kill it)
I'm gonna try to tame one with kariuku kibble and a MasterCraft crossbow wish me luck.
It's not going to be a walk in the park but for the best angler stats ,go to the cave of the container/strong and at the location where you see the artifact , set out ur gear, kill all unnecessary wolves,bats and any other and yull find yourself free from any obstacle,you will find angler which are level 800,650,700 and more and they have best stats and collect more pearls
To tame use a Harpoon launcher with the net projectile to trap it and shoot away with tranq spear bolts till it is K.O
I use a manta bc I can shoot off back and they don’t get mad when I shoot them and mantas are super fast oh and watch out for those DUCKING EELSS
Best pearl gatherer on abberation hella useful but if the angler is too low of level they die easily to piranhas so be careful
If you are playing on mobile these angler also spawn at yeti cave at high level. Hard mode spawn these fish are 700-800. You can tame cave creatures such as arthro, araneon, scorpion or even megalosaurus of course they will not fit in. cave creatures are basically invisible to ANY creatures. It’s best to use araneon they fast they strong with their web attack. And you will grt TON of exp. A 780-800 have around 40k to. You can get the revive thing at other small snow cave. Bring that to a low level water, then using gun and knock it you will need 30-40~ tranq tho :)
Make sure to bring some health potions if you doing the cave :)
