You should ride a Basilo,aggro the eels and then feed them.Usethe basilo cuz it is immune to the shock and is a huge TANK to widstand the tank.

Some taming info:

A tamed tuso can grab these amd a teammate can then feed it bio toxin.

They deal torpor damage.

They have an electric aoe attack that damages and stuns players. While stunned you can feed it if close enough and temporarely use stims and medical brews.

Even with flippers they will outswim you.

Rush in and feed while stunned(use stims and medical brews)

Their electric aoe slows and renders all creutures unable to attack with the exception of the basilosaurus.

Don't build under water near red on i

Made the mistake now I live under the water permanently as they killed my ichthyosaurs and megoladons and my best friend is a starfish

When a titanboa meets a troodon that meets a Cnidaria. Makes your life hell!!

Tame with biotoxin, it's realmente easy to get:).

(Tested in mobile)

1: find some Cnidaria, they spawn near the shore. (The glowing jellyfish, if you don't know how they look)

2: get in the water, then go out. they won't move for some seconds, but they will get closer to you. Do this until they get near the shore, where they can't get you.

3: kill them; DON'T GET TO CLOSER. They can shock you, and you won't move for some seconds. Normally they spawn in groups of 3.

4: farm the biotoxin, you can get around 13 from every corpse.

Idk if this can be also done in pc or console. Hope this helps!, up for more players to see it^^

(sorry for bad spelling, english it's not my first language)

These are passive tames. In my experience trying to tame a 145. You will find having a Basilosaurus will provide you with a mount immune to the shock.

Wear a combination of Riot and Scuba gear. Bring multiple sets. They will destroy your tanks and flippers if you get hit enough times. Lone eels do not deal enough torpor to be a substantial threat with the riot gear.

The hard part is feeding them. They will glow bright blue (without goggles on) when they have built up a charge, and charge you. Discharge a 7 second stun, bite and then flee.

Lure them into an enclosed area. Such as a trap for water tames or a river. This will reduce their mobility and make them an easier tame than in the open ocean. Because they will flee the majority of the tame if they have the room to do so.

I don’t see why it is a passive tame

Riot armor for torpor reduction and increased oxygen to chase them down recommended

Super easy tame, look for the shallow rivers in aberration or valgueros abb zone, although not incredibly useful

WHO ID CHANGING THE PICS 🆙 so peeps see

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 😁

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

Why dosen it have a propor photo

Dear ark please give us a Faraday suit yours truly ~ a stunned survivor

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.

Fun fact;

Electrophorus gets is name from the part of an electric eel’s scientific name- electrophorus electricus

To tame it you need a basliosaurus to be immune to the eletric shocks then feed it biotoxin (form cindarias) then you have alternative cindaria

Easily tamable in Valgueros aberration section as water is shallow and you can literally stand right beside it and feed.
