Encountering Tips
How do I kill a ichthyosaurus? ichthyosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
You would find them in the islands in shallow waters or in shallow rivers
Randomly will approach whenever you don’t care to find them. As soon as you go out looking for them and find them they want nothing to do with you and swim away... make a trap.
If you live near a river just be patient it's only a matter of time before one visits.
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
Steelslaughter here, and I was the person who unclaimed mini. I unclaimed mini a few years ago, so back then there wasn't an update that u could request aquatic animals on mobile. I am not stupid.
I saw my first one in the ocean where I spawned :D it was beautiful and I am definitely going to tame one sometime in the game! I might be able to tame that one! :D :D :D
This is’nt about taming but its a good tip. on the chalk hills beaches you can find tons of dead icthys that wash up and they give tons of spoiled meat and organic polymer! Its really handy for polyer and narcodics and early ghille armour! I think this is only on Valgeuro though.
If you’re riding a ichthyosaurus on ark mobile it will prevent you from being attacked by aggressive creatures including electropheris
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.
They won't attack you and they r normally in pods. Have to feed a lot of fish. Prime fish from Saber Salmon is best for quick tame. Recommend trapping it so it wont swim away
Me when i met my first ichthy: Is this a Dolphin?
If one of them swims away just look at your tame list, Wait in the water, and boom they’re there (you’ll have to tp them to you)
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
Okay they ain’t lying I just was on my ichthyosaurus swing with a megaldon
Okay so I tamed one of these guys it was really quick I had prime meet waiting in my argy. But as soon I tamed it it popped above the water on the beach and it won't move it can rotate around and up and down but it's like glitced any way to save this one or no?
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.
TAME IT
Feed me meat or I will have you for lunch
On valguero, on the beach next to the chalk hills, there are a bunch of dead ichthy's. You get hide, spoiled meat and organic polymer from harvesting them. It's very useful for narcotics, ghillie armour and fabricated weaponry and structures.
It gets annoying when they follow you sometimes but if I kill them I feel bad 😢 idk what to do.
Always near the coast, but sometimes a bit deeper.
