What are tips for ichthyosaurus? Tips and strategies for ichthyosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Everyone please be aware that these guys are attacked by everything(at least on pc). I think they don't on mobile but please d0wnvote any of the old tips that say theve still got the immunity. Doesn't mean there not good tames for ealy on speed and breaking in to the ocean but there oc little use late game.
Just so you know beginners, these don’t want to kill you, they just want to cuddle :p if you want to tame it just get some fish meet and put it in your hot bar :)
So I ONLY play on Mobile and as of 09/19/22 at least on my game the ONLY time any creature aggros me is if I dismount. I could literally eat a Megalodon without any aggro if I wanted to wait that long to kill it, lol. I'm going to do one imprint to use on my game cuz their stats could use a slight buff for real. But then going to use it to passive tame a Basilo without dismounting!!!! Of course I'll eat the Manta etc. before completely tamed as to not lose said Basilo. NO AGGRO for me but I do play on EASY as well 😜
Use these for underwater taming, they're good for taming megs, plesis, mosa, etc, but just use a crossbiw to knockthings out and your all set.
Make sure to have them loaded with a LOT of food before you go out as they burn through so much food while going full speed
Iwant. To. Fiete.
If you have a bary but not one of these or another aquatic the easiest way to tame I have found is to go on ur bary, find a good ichy and kill everything aggressive that could arrgo you around the ichy. Then go up to it, dismount, and feed. Rinse and repeat for a first full aquatic tame.
these creatures are so useful, they can attack anything without aggravating it, i mean sure it may turn and hit once but then it goes back to minding its own business (i ended up killing 2 rexes and 3 brontos at lvl 24 :D )
I suggest getting into a u-shaped bay and placing a behemoth gate and door to block the entrance.Then,they have nowhere to run.
Some cliff notes on the itchy immunity trick on mobile:
1. Do not feed the itchy raw meat/prime fish meat(still yet to be tested)
2. Taming a whole pod on an itchy may cause the immunity to drop(Though the itchys can take on predators with other tamed dinos at your base if coastal).
3. You will not be completely immune 100% of the time, you will receive an initial hit on your itchy before regarding as neutral/immune
4. Alphas will not be affected by immunity glitch.
5. Triggering the ammonite Rallying Cry trick will drop the immunity(however, a quick hit can fix this).
6. Dismounting an itchy will drop the immunity(the itchy and you are regarded as two different entities).
This guy is just bad for harvesting don’t get if your low level
Physically impossible to tame without kibble. They swim into the deep oceans, and then it becomes jaws
How to tame:
1- build a decent size trap out of dino gates (I recommend 5 behemoths) in a shallow (er) water area
2- obtain meat
3- find dolphin and (try to) lead back to your trap
3.5- (optional if you're ok with wasting resources) use a couple of dino gates to limit dolphin's movement in trap
4- feed until tame
If you find a low level faster get a 1dodo kible and Feed It.it will turned into a invisible fish.you can attack anything Without being known
I don't know if this Bug working on your phone
Are you sure nothing will aggro on you unless you attack it? I have been killed by 3 jellyfish not knowing what they were then I instantly moved all the games I had away from the water and my I think my 1st or 2nd tame which was the lizard that you dont knock out to tame and its great for wood, fiber, and thatch collection died because of jelly fish, I have almost been killed by compy, killed by dilos multiple times and have been saved by parasaurs a few times and saved by a trike once. That doesnt really say nothing aggros unless provoked on mobile. [ all of this was on mobile because I cant get it on pc ]
