Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Led into shallow water. Surround with pillars to keep it from running away and feed kibble (dodo) or raw meat.
To the person who said they don't do much damage mine just killed a whole Megalodon pack less than a minute
First time taking the Megalodon for a spin, thought they were aggressive when they swam up. Turns out they're just curious little guys then they'll swim away eventually.
Wait so a meg can jump out of the water but not these guys
Once I tamed one of these and named it itchy. Itchy got his name from when I don’t mount him he always twitches around like his whole body got infested by fleas. Once I played with my friend and we were traveling to dodo island when a random sarco came out of nowhere and started biting my friend. I ordered my trike (Tina) to get rid of that thing. But Tina fell into the water and attracted megalodons. We didn’t have any cargo on that raft so we abandoned it immediately and I jumped onto Itchy and he was insane fast and swam away before the megolodons could react. Sadly for my friend and Tina that they died and my friend lost all his gear because he did not have one of these. Itchy was a real life saver for me. A good starter mount for starters.
If you go near one and it starts to chase you its not mad they act like dolphins they just wanna be your friend
The Ichtyosaurus is VERY useful! You can easily tame them using raw meat (not fish meat like the goofy pursuit says) or the EASIEST KIBBLE, dodo kibble.
Just passively feed them by placing the food in hot bar, approaching the Ichthy, and tapping on the food to feed. The Ichthys make this easier by following you around.
Once tamed, they are generally ignored by aquatic predators, but only if you're riding it. Ichthys that aren't being rode on will be attacked.
They do decent damage and attack fast, so have fun killing Megalodons with your low level Ichthy (like I did).
Since there's no way to post it on the actual creatures wall I think I should warn everyone whilst taming these beautiful ichthyosaurus watch out and I mean watch out for any Cnidaria jellyfish they will shock you to oblivion I was caught taming when 4 of these guys jumped me and I absolutely freaked out
So yeah Cnidaria are easy to kill but keep your distance!
Take a tame with you it will try to play with it and stay close by so you can tame it easily! I don’t know if this only works on mobile
MOBILE PLAYERS: I have tested it, and NOTHING, I mean NOTHING attacks you. This includes jellyfish, anglers, mosas, megs, EVERYTHING. HOWEVER. This only applies if you DO NOT attack the thing in question (or ammonites), and in my experience this makes it perfect for scouting out high-level potential tames
Prepare kible, prepare Lazarus chowder, find one,use Lazarus chowder, hook it with grapling hook, feed and tame
Don’t kill jelly’s with this guy or he’s dead
Get dodo kibble then boom (on mobile you get a free saddle for doing the mission and nothing agros to you when you ride it.)
Dont feed it raw fish meat!!! Normal raw meat tames literally so much quicker up so more people can see
Ok I have a question.
So I had 2 icthys and it was amazing, they didn’t make anything aggro,but 2 Brontie fell in the water and killed them accidently. So I had to get a new one. It took ages but I eventually tamed one. But as soon as it was tamed 2 megs attacked it. It barely survived, but out when I was taking another icthy with it all the megs and mantas started to attack it. I’m so confused the other ones didn’t make anything aggro
