Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a coelacanth? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a coelacanth.
At first glance, they seem harmless, until you attack them. You better run, because millions of them will form together into a form that is stronger than titanosaurs. In order to tame one of these, it's somewhat similar to taming a titan. I'd recommend using a quetzal with a platform saddle. First, use Gigas or lots of rexes to lower it's heal to below 50%. After this, it's attacks will be a lot more dangerous and faster, however you can shoot it with Canon balls. This is what the quetzal is for. Put canons on there and start blasting. Depending on the level it will take varying amounts of Canon balls, but bring at least 100. Once you have knocked it out, you will need a TON of extraordinary kibble. Oh, and if you thought a giga's torpor dropped fast, you'll be surprised to see this fish's torpor drain. Bring a TON of biotoxin, and make sure you have no life, but since we're playing ark that's pretty easy. You'll wanna watch it because of the torpor, but it also takes a long time to tame. Don't worry about things attacking it while it's knocked, however. After this you will be the alpha of your server if you manage to tame one of these. While they don't have saddles, they take a 85% damage reduction from all attacks. Use it's main attack for an insanely powerful bite attack, while it's second attack shoots a water beam that makes wyverns look like dodo's.
To get on lost island, do following:
1) go find BIG mushrooms in the water.
2) hit it with hatchet.
3) make a fish basket.
4) trap one in a REALY SMALL spot.
5) trap it.
6) tame it.
7) put meat in inventory.
TIP!: never listen to the tip: Don’t tame near water because it’ll drown.
Best and fast way to tame:
Get fish baskets
Get bee honey
Place your traps where the fish are, pref in high traffic area. Put one (1) honey in your hot bar, swim above your baskets, look down and throw the honey near fish baskets. Trap the fish as they converge upon the honey near the baskets.
If you’re too far out at sea and come across one, do not, I repeat DO NOT punch them. Their blood attacks Alpha Megs
This thing is massive and will destroy your whole base be carful
To tame easily, fish in shallow water. Place a wooden cage over the fish then fish basket next to the cage. Fish won't swim away and should be quick enough to be able to pick the cage up and reuse it.
They are just normal fish pointless to tame but you can kill them for there meat to taming bigger dinos
Just use a fish basket. I’m unsure if it’s on mobile, apologies.
Trap target fish under a thatch foundation on the river bed and place fish basket on top.

The Truth About Coelacanth Fishes
Coelacanth Fishes only use their Tsunami Attack when u get close 2 their breeding spot, and it's not long-range, it's short range. Plus, it barely hurts. A lvl 200 Giganotosaurus can kill a coelacanth in only 1 hit, u guys got it backwards for coelacanth fishes. The coelacanth fishes do not eat sacrifices, they eat fish baskets. Their extremely small breeding area is located at the bottom of the ocean, and 1, you'll probably run out of oxygen down their, but you'll run into Ichthyosaurus, and where Ichthyosaurus spawn, theirs Megalodons. Like for more information on fishes!!
Bro I’m just trying to find how to actually tame one 💀
Be careful these things are lethal and go to one shot you like they did my Megalodon
Don’t listen to any other tips they are lies. You have to make a fish basket out of thatch Fiber and fungal wood. Then you place it near the coelacanth and stay near the basket and soon everything will pop up that says capture coelacanth. That will automatically pick up your basket into your inventory and all you have to do is place it and you have a coelacanth! But don’t waste your time taming them because you can’t do anything with them but name them.
Just get a fishing trap and set it near one in a river or ocean floor careful tho piranhas and salmon tend to break these traps but the coelacanth is just a fish that you can farm easily but to finish trapping one u need to press triangle for PlayStation or E for PC on the trap when one is near the trap a common way to do this is to confine the fish in a box full of traps this is an effective way to tame them I hope you found this helpful
What do these fishes eat? Help please
This is weird how everyone is saying this is so powerful
