Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Coelacanth in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Look into the blue deep.

Tell me, what do you see?

I've got no defense,

Nor a bite, hence

I'm a likley victim of the sea.

... It's the Magikarp of Ark, what did you expect? ~CL1

In aboration you can tame it with a fishing basket. There is actually a good use. This is finally a water creature that can do the classic, strap c4, attack, boom.

if u ever see one run away. it might use its laser fish eyes or maybe its tail slice. if you see one and want to tame it, u need at least 20 max lvl gigas and 35 max rex. to tame get a titan and use cannons. at least 100 cannon balls will do. make sure to keep the titan…

These need to be breedable! Would make it much easier to get food for shadowmane taming.

Once in the fish basket, put them in some shallow, safe water and then re-trap it when ready.

I think people forget it is actually pronounced seel-oh-canth and that they are not extinct in real life.

Trap coels in a fish basket, then cryo the fish. Keep them cryoed until you want to tame a shadow, then make another fish basket, release them from the cryo and trap them again. Put the fish basket in your hot bar and submerge yourself to reset their timer. No wasting fish…

Personally, I just want to be able to catch the small ones and raise them in a pond structure like Koi but who knows. Great way to get EXP if you’ve got a wide hitting tame like a spino! - Survivor Belle
