What are tips for ichthyosaurus? Tips and strategies for ichthyosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
How to tame an ichthyosaurus:
1. They are passive tames, you don't knock them out to tame them.
2. I recommend taming an ichthyosaurus that is in shallow water.
3. After you find an ichthyosaurus, you will need to feed it meat or preferred kibbles. Also, raw meat works better than raw fish meat.
4. Keep feeding it until it's tamed.
-If you're on mobile and trying to complete the pursuit of taming an ichthyosaurus, you don't need to make a saddle. You will be given a saddle after completing this pursuit.

They’re basically the pt of the ocean. They’re very fast and easily to tame, but have quite low stamina and weight and can’t fight anything. Great for travel and taming since you can shoot from their back, but you’ll get better underwater mounts later on. On mobile however, they have a very useful feature where no aquatic creatures will aggro onto you! This makes them very useful for almost anything in the ocean except fighting. Hope this helped!
I was have an army of inch I was tha king of tha sea u just need army of inch and always let them follow u and let tha attack ur target I killed with him mos I’m so happy that I have them
The karkinos, kaprosuchus, and megalosaurus can not grav/pick up the Ichthyosaurus. Up vote so people can see.
Look out for jellyfish. A group snuck up behind me while taming a 105 ichthyosaurus...
I've got a question. Do Sarcos attack you while riding on an Ichthy? I'm just wondering because I've got a tamed Ichthy and theres a Sarcro near by.
Hearing they don’t have any predators they could help with other aquatic passive tames like the manta! Some tames are great for getting other tames, I’ll post a story about my fish’s death in stories!

They a really good tame if you level up the speed you can do zoomies in the water when without leveling up the speed you just do slower zoomies
I tamed this while on a pelagornis. Kill some fish, and put it on your hot bar. Land in the ocean on the pela. A ichthy or two might swim up to you. Feed fish meat when hungry. You got a ichthy! Also, you have to swim for them to follow. These are the pigeons of the sea (as well as tropical birds!) they will come and keep coming. It started with 1, then 2, then 4. Also pelas can only land on surface.
While it's weak in HP, it benefits for the ocean. In Mobile, NOTHING will ever aggro it, not even a Tuso (unless you bite it) with decent speed and rider weaponry, their hunger drops by a lot when sprinting. If you try to tame deep sea creatures (like me and a Mosa) I highly suggest to bring TONS of food. A few stacks for your starving Ichy and the good food for the fricken Mosa that feels like it's extinct.
If you want to tame it bring it to shor when you feed them they will swimaway
