Encountering Tips

How do I kill a ichthyosaurus? ichthyosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This will aggro megs and manta be carful on mobile
You would find them in the islands in shallow waters or in shallow rivers
I shat myself when I first saw this. I thought it was a shark! Lol
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.
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
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.
They are the fastest water creatures
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
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)
Me when i met my first ichthy: Is this a Dolphin?
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?
If you’re riding a ichthyosaurus on ark mobile it will prevent you from being attacked by aggressive creatures including electropheris
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
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
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.
Okay they ain’t lying I just was on my ichthyosaurus swing with a megaldon
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.
There were suddenly like 5 of these in my river that is only 3 feet deep or so
I once saw this I saw 3 of them they came after me they wanted to be my pet and they loved me idk why I wasn’t even feeding them fish
