ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These are insane! Really wild card this is more of a boss don’t you think? I mean these things are killing machines!! Here’s how to kill one, first get a few titantosaurs, gigas, wyverns, and a 300-400 quetzal. Build a tek base on the quetzal and whistle follow for wyverns and Titans. Make them face one side of the beast and gigas on the other, then whistle attack, all pets must be 300 level or more, you may lose a few in the process though. Get out your strongest weapons, only ranged, far ranged because they can send tsunami waves at you and your tames. Attack with your pets and hope for the best. Do the same for taming but bring MANY MANY more large animals, make sure they don’t attack, they are for the taming sacrifices. Knock out with turrets and cannons on a quetzal. Their unconscious is 25 times as fast as a gigas so bring bio toxin in the millions. You will have to kill your tames for the coelacanth to eat, they will only eat the following animals, Gigas, wyverns, griffins, titantosaurs, phoenix’s, unicorns, and quetzals over he level of 200. This taming will take around 14-15 hours. Good luck players! Or you can tame it passively which is around 10 times as hard as knocking it out!

More Coelacanth Taming & KO Tips
Don't tame near water or it will drown
It’s a harmless fish and if you die to it then ark is not the game for you
These are the most violent creature in game. You need at least 3 people, 10 Gigas max level, a platform quetzal, with cannon balls about 250 minimum. A couple rex's hopefully max level health. Now build a simple trap out of metal spikes. Now find one of these beasts, very carefully line up your Gigas, and rex's. These are sacrifices for the Coelacanth to eat while you shoot carefully from your queztal, have the other people shoot as well. Finally feed the beast kibble.

Unfortunately, you cannot craft fish baskets on mobile. I am sorry fellow mobile players. I reached level 100 and its is still not there.
Tamable using fish baskets from aberration.
Find it in the river, kill it and there you go, drag its dead corps around and enjoy :) ( until it decomposes )
So how to really tame it get a fish basket then find one you like then put the fishing basket in front of it then when it gets close press capture fish don't know why people keep lieing about how to tame it.
Sorry ark fu[k you edition 1, and mobile players, you need to buy aberration to tame this creature, truly pay to win :(
You can feed them, I repeat you can feed them! All you have to do is kill a few fish and put the fish meat in their inventory the same goes with the Piranha and Sabertooth Salmon. Also side note you can drag any food item (dead animal) and drop it in front of the Piranha’s and they’ll eat it.
Hope this helps!
These people are ultra-wrong. It's Tsunami Attack barely hurts. Plus, it almost never uses it.
