What are tips for ichthyosaurus? Tips and strategies for ichthyosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
So i one day i found a level 150 Ichty and i was excited i was looking forward to taming one so i used my soothing balm and started to feed it and i wanted to get the Ichty near the beach which was a pretty bad idea, the Ichty decided to go on land and it died. I couldnt revive him i was only level 47,i didnt have enough amber and the obelisks wouldnt help, the thing i most regret is that i wasted a soothing balm, and now i need to abuse aka farm the south cave
Bro everyone says these guys are easy to tame yes they are but it’s so so hard to get to them without being attacked
Easy enough to tame that you don't need to trap it.
They're attracted to players and especially tames, so using anything from a turtle to a mosa makes taming them easy. They may swim off, but are easy to magnet back onto your tame.
Technically you can get a bunch of these to come to the surface easily with a pelagornis, and fly away if a megalodon attacks, if you get enough it might even become harder for megalodons to hit you lol
I tames Three of these and I like them put a Saddle and like it
These fishes follows a big fishes like a megalondon,Moses, and a baloisaurus, they will not hurt you they only follow you. Ichthyo: I want to be friends!
Can be tamed by having fish in the last category
Then feed it sone
I had a mega and these guys kept swarming around me, not attacking. I guess a mega attracts these guys as friends. Either way if you want to take a lot of these guys just swim with a mega for a bit and like 5 will be following you. They continue to follow after feeding too so they just sit there as you tame them instead of running off
What ever you do when taming don’t try to knock these guys out after I first started ark I thought they were knock out tames so every time I tried I would kill them so remember there passive tames
Please read the whole thing if you're here because the water creatures aggroed on you. Sorry for bad grammar. I am playing on mobile btw
I know this sounds really dumb. The de aggro ability will only work if you tame it with fish meat or prime fish meat. If you use normal meat or prime meat, you will get a better taming effectiveness but every aggressive water creature will still aggro on you. No one has said this before. I just tested it right now. I tamed a high level one tamed with raw meat. Everything aggroed on me. It surprised me because i tamed one not too long ago and nothing aggroed me back then. That got me thinking and I got this idea. I tamed a low level one with fish meat and nothing aggroed it. Consider testing it yourself before disliking this tip
