What are tips for ichthyosaurus? Tips and strategies for ichthyosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It is great when they are stuck inside a rock because the can not get away when taming.
I saw two, made a pen with columns and one swam straight in (lucky break) did attract two mantas that had to be fought off however.
Passive but they will come to you if they see you. Block them off so they can't swim away.Then feed with meat in last quick slot. Fairly easy tames
Really make sure that there are no damgerous animals around you, also know that after a while it will lose interest in you and swim away.
Watch out for megalodons once tamed the ichthyosaurus the megalodon will agro it so kill the megalodons first then enjoy you're flash dolphin
They are a good storage creature(not unlike the Dunkylosteus) and has loads of Stamina.
On the very bottom right corner ofThe Island map, the open sea leads into a small island full of trikes, pteranodos, stegos, Paras and Ankylo. In the water in the middle you will likely find an Itchy and when you start the tame they only seem to swim to the other side of that pond (a 10 second swim away) and never into the open sea. Just because the water leading into it is full of Megalos, so it might take a while to get the Itchy back safely.
This thing is very OP, can beat anything in the sea except for cnidaria
I f you plan on taming a army just take 2 at a time
Find one near tha shore and kill off the manta. Then swim away and feed. Will follow you after that. Just feed and tease it
Get a whole lot of fish!!! There a passive tame so they’ll come back to you after you feed them
1 raw fish meat and 1 dodo kibble for lvl 5
They’re very curious like a underwater compy.
Found one in water thing at herbivore island tamed it and a Meg there
Perfect thing to build your potential Navy Force!!!!
(Mobile) This guy is an absolute BEAST at farming stuff from the waters i can easily kills megalodons without even getting agrro'd (PS DONT ATTACK CNIDARIAS WITH IT) Also you dont get targeted by almost everything (My level 240 itchy can lure 2 carnos and a raptor in the water and still win)
U can find these at herbivor Island (on the bottom right on the map)if u reach there you can see its like a U find them in the middle u part on mobile you can feed it raw meat while its wandering around but make sure to add a wall so it can't get far and so megalodons can't attack u _i was taming a bazilik (dont know how to spell it sorry) and two of these but a megalodon killed me, now I need to get a ton of stuff to craft a raft_bte im lvl 32_up so every one can see and have a good day
I have a pure red colored, blue colored, and yellow colored. I named them zoom, vroom, and boom. I tamed three megs but still keep them cuz of there colors :)
