Tips & Strategies

Taming guide #1: Electhrophorus
1 find the electhrophorus you want to tame ( they usually spawn in group so be carefull)
2 Use a Basilosaurus because It Is immune to them or and High HP water mount ( i used Plesio )
3 aggro the eel
4 Let It Attack your Mount
5 feed It Biotoxin ( the eel moves a lot and do Area shock Attack so pay attention )
6 You Tamed your useless light fish 👍
Forget using tames to bait one of these, if you’re on Gen2 just use your tek suit to swim, else use scuba gear using cactus broth (so only the eel goes for you).
This method is probably the easiest way to take one of these and requires next to no mats except a dino to get you there:
1. Make a wooden cage
2. Place it underwater
3. Kite the electro and swim over and on the opposite side if the cage so the eel is following you but swims directly into the open cage
4. Close the cage door
5. Float anywhere where you see the taming bar and not ‘open’
6. Chill out and enjoy your new electro
I did this on gen2 and the eel can not break the cage, easy tame, up this so everyone can see.
Good luck 😁
Why dosen it have a propor photo
Basilos can't be stunned by this.
Dear ark please give us a Faraday suit yours truly ~ a stunned survivor
Super easy tame, look for the shallow rivers in aberration or valgueros abb zone, although not incredibly useful
Nice glowing pets that kill piranhas in the river
Make sure you bring stimberries. I made that mistake. The eels don’t deal much torpor alone, but if you are feeding it biotoxin and accidentally eat it, you will quickly get knocked out.
Use a ichthyosaurus, get up close to it, and just feed it the bio toxin. No aquatic animal hurts ichies unless they are a spino or unless you attack or get close to the jellyfish. Hope this helps! :3
Fun fact;
Electrophorus gets is name from the part of an electric eel’s scientific name- electrophorus electricus
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
Masstame 150's til you got 25 of them, use them together with a swarm of 50 mantas backed up by mateboosted basils, mosas and tusos.
Absolutely insane, ofc have them covered by some tek and heavies set on players only.
Have them all following a passive tame on low distance (could be an angler), and have them set on attack-my-target, and aggro range high.
Have a trapped tame as scout on aggressive and aggro range high, when it aggro towards any dinos or players, it will send the whole force to kill and stun the target, when target is out of range or dead, they will come back to base.
In asa they now give you diminished returns which when after attacking you with their electric nonsense you have about 20 secs where you are safe from being stunned
But you aren’t safe from the damage that it does rip Dave the dolphin
Easily tamable in Valgueros aberration section as water is shallow and you can literally stand right beside it and feed.
RUN if you see one earlygame, especially on genesis as there will always be more lurking around.
