One time me and my 2 other tribe mates went into the underwater cave on the Island where the Artifact of The Brute is acquired for the first time - Coordinates to the entrance are lat: 53.7, lon: 10.4.
We went on Dire Bears which are slow in water so I don't recommend it. Seriously. Our bears were bred beasts though and we chose Dire Bears because they had 1000+ weight each and therefore fit the criteria of our mission which was to break into some server raiders hidden vault at the end of the cave. Going through the cave to reach the vault we encountered passive creatures and coel etc.
Little did we know this cave could spawn Eels everywhere on our exit after breaking the vault - which was empty to add to the sadness - however and my tribe mates proceeded to be the first victims to be paralysed off of their bears. Our bears were slain because they couldn't attack back and neither could we as we were knocked the f*ck out. Eels are not to be messed with. They ruin friendships. ?
More Electrophorus Encountering Tips
THEY FLEE WHEN ATTACKED, JUST LIKE ANGLERS. IF YOUR RIDE GETS SHOCKED, PULL OUT YOUR CROSSBOW, SWIM AWAY FROM YOUR RIDE AND SHOOT THEM, AND ONE BY ONE, THEY WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE.
You know that level 300 mosasaur you have. He is now just a decoration for your base.
Use "spectral mount" in skill tree skill, your mount becomes spectral and cannot be targeted by any wild creatures nor can you be dismounted for 15 seconds as well your mount ignores all stamina costs...so enough time to kill or run.
Picture a gang of agile monkeys armed with tasers, fast deadly and OP. Sneakier too
If you see a swarm of them, run. They have pack bonus and will constantly shock you or your mount and knock you mount out. They will feed on your dreams!
They will spawn in packs of 6 in the caverns of lost faith, packs of 2 in the caverns of lost hope (high levelled), and can spawn in packs of 2 up to 6 anywhere else in the ocean and can be fed (as long as they're not in a cave) even when they're angry and attacking you and your tame.
They can also follow you to the surface since they have no depth limit so if you can't escape them fast enough they can jump your tame after you dismount from it thinking that you're safe.
Idk why people are saying to swim away from your tame and use crossbows when you get attacked when crossbows have 36 dps and a pack of level 1 electrophoruses have almost triple of that plus if you are off your tame you will be caught in the electrophorus' shock aoe and also be stunned and most likely die in seconds.
But this is 2026 not 2019 so first of all downvtoe the tip that says that as it it outdated, and if you get caught off guard for some reason by electrophoruses while you are on your tame just attack with your tame until they either die or run away as all the electrophorus' "stun" effect does is just prevent you from sprinting and it no longer dismounts you, if you are lucky and you have a meg or ichthy you will survive with half health.
Also if you are on old mobile and you don't wanna lose a lot of health trying to kill them then just swim as fast as you can away from them until they disappear in your render distance as the stun effect from electrophoruses do not exist on old mobile.
Basilos can't be stunned by this.
Umm.. just don’t eat the bio toxin while doing this I tried and ate it twice. Thankfully I went to shore before a fainted
RUN if you see one earlygame, especially on genesis as there will always be more lurking around.
