Tips & Strategies

So first I didn’t know about these guys but when I found out about them I quickly knew they were useful. So I started trying to tame them but the somehow end up getting killed. I though something attacked them but I soon realized that maybe they were dying cuz of drowning. Well I one time left one out in the air *its head sticking out the water and then I saw the notification that my blasiosaur died! So I will never do that again. I then went to tame another one bu5 with fish it took too long so I used raw meat and it speeded up the process! Hope this tip was helpful. *and sorry about the story of my blasilosaur dying*

In real life these were vicious carnivores that would have killed and eaten a human on sight and lived mostly in shallow waters and swam up rivers looking for food they were also twenty metres long, good thing the developers didn't make them more realistic or crossing rivers would be a dream until you have a flyer.
Why is this passive?! This has tons of hp and melee. Actually, on second thought… ark, please keep this passive!
Seems everything flocks to it mantas and icthy, be careful while swimming near cause they can body block you and you be killed.
Take a Baryonyx or a powerful swimming creature to kill off the Manta's and then go in for the tame
