I tamed one but it died to a megaladon 😔
You can passive feed on these things on mobile making it easy to tame basilos mantas and eels
Came upon this creature without any prior planning, had some spare prime meat so I thought why not? Immediately after taming it, 2 megalodons, a male and female, swam up to the shore and killed it before I could do anything to help. Proper planning like having a saddle ready and some kind of water inclosure already made for the creature is probably your best chance of keeping it alive.
For the guy that said "admit it this was your first ocean tame" no it wasn't the megalodon i tamed this evening was my first ocean tame the reason I didn't tame these thing is cuz they are always around sharks and mantas when i go to the herb island i knocked one and kill the rest and there was one and i didn't tame it cuz is a pretty low level
Grappling it and feeding it worked for me
guys be really carefull if you stay to close to the rock and thing like that ur ichthy might get stuck like mine
I still can’t tame one cuz the megalodons immediately target me when I get more deep in the ocean
Saw that others had luck keeping him around using tames to make him curious, so I tried to tame one of those guys with a pet Spino in tow. Unlike the first time I saw one, it wasn't curious about us AT ALL. It immediately retreated. So, because I'd found it in a river, I tried to corner it.
It committed suicide-by-beach. Literally swam up onto shore and insta-died rather than be near us.
I don't think they like Spinos. Leave yours at home.
If you are haveing trouble finding them go to the red obelisk and in the water beneath there are some and I have even encountered meglodons there.
Easy tame.
Can be found anywhere in the ocean. They are passive tame and when they come up to u feed them any meat. Watch out for hostiles (megs manta jellyfish etc) and now u have one of the best water tames
Swim your ass up to it and than feed it A simple kibble bam you’ve got yourself the fastest aquatic mammal! No trapping necessary!!! 🤟🏻
You can not pick up an Ichthyosaurus with a Karkinos, despite that dododex says you can.
Get 4 prime fish from a meg or other fish and then you have a easy tame
Use dodo kibble it’s easy to make it all you need is 2 to tame a high level even a level 55 and 80
When taming it, don't let it go far while starving. It'll cost you more raw fish meat
