What are tips for ichthyosaurus? Tips and strategies for ichthyosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
In different areas they’ll be different colors so like herbivore island they will sometimes be red and silver or different assortment of the same colors if you find them in different areas they will most likely all have two or one color similar(found one that was gold and blue with a Silver belly and her friends were either gold and different colors or blue and different colors) hope this tip is useful
for mobile players, tamed icthyosaurus’ don’t get attacked, ONLY if ur riding them
if u aren’t, make sure to have them somewhere safe, 5 of my icthy’s were murdered by megalodons and mantas
I thought sea creatures won't attack you when you're mounted to it but a bunch of megalodons and mantas are swarming towards me while mounted. I ignored my freaking thalassophobia for this, and i will never go in the water again.
They really nice
Unlike the Meg
Honestly these are my favorite water tames they are so easy to tame because they are passive and swim right up to you then on mobile you get a free saddle from the pursuit. These guys are extremely fast and if your on mobile nothing will agro on you or your icthy unless you get off or attack they are also amazing for getting black pearl because they can kill the mini sea scorpions without taking torpor. All around they are just amazing.
Once you get the saddle give the turtle you tamed a lot of speed and lure some itchys to the shallows just make sure they don’t go on land
The ichthyosaurus has now sadly lost the de-aggro ability in mobile.......
Passive taming is currently broken in ark mobile you they don't get hungry after feeding them once.
Make certain that after you've successfully tamed it you make it stop following you before you run out of the water. Poor, sweet, sad, dead fishy... :(
If you're a mobile player enjoying the "invisible" Ichty glitch, DO NOT attempt to kill a Tusoteuthis with it! Even a level 2 is enough to kill your Icthy in seconds without a good saddle. I lost my 500+ health ramshackle saddle Icthy to one when it suddenly aggroed on me. This can happen with many wild creatures where they turn and bite you once or twice before giving up. But the giant squid doesn't give up, it just grabs, and crushes. Once again, do not attack the giant squid Unless you're certain your Icthy can take a pounding of around 800 unnegated damage!
Okay they ain’t lying I just was on my ichthyosaurus swing with a megaldon
So I’m on mobile and it tames pretty easily (Love you Salmon❤️) but DONT TAKE IT INTO SHALLOW WATER, IT WILL GET STUCK! Poor salmon is stuck...I love these guys but I wish they didn’t get stuck as much
