Scared of ocean.

Not scared of ocean
Tame an ARMY of itchys
Rule the ocean
1 itchy is as good as 13 same level megs
It’s easy to tame :-
First:go find one in the oecan
Second:grab some raw fish meat
Third:feed them
(In fact:They are very friendly so don’t worry)
(In fact2:don’t try to hit them them will give you a free tame)
The end/good luck at the game/)
Me and some other people made a mistake... SORRY!!! They tame way faster with normal raw meat than fish meat. I would recommend dodo kibble though, just to be honest!
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
Prepare kible, prepare Lazarus chowder, find one,use Lazarus chowder, hook it with grapling hook, feed and tame
Wait so a meg can jump out of the water but not these guys
Best tame ever. Now you bloodthirsty chat members will down vote bc of me saying this but hear me out. If it dies just get one from the seemingly infinite amount of them and tame it. The saddle is the easiest thing to make ever so make it and mount it! I got a lvl 10 Basi with this and surprisingly it had no protection around it. I was able to tame it so now I have my lvl 40 basi, Davy Jones.
Seriously get this it can kill megs, the carbonemes of the sea!
Easy tame just feed it meat every like 30 secs and it’s all tamed and ready to go
They are early game tames but I’m in mid game and STILL haven’t got these things because of those stupid stupid sharks!
How to tame one [ASA]
STEP 1. Make a trap and make it small so it doesn't swim around as much. Any material works fine since they're passive, but beware of other dinos.
Recommended Trap:
beach
|_ _| (Trap // Any mat works // Walls/Dinogates)
water
In the middle (The space), you place your opening (Check the "more" section if you're unsure of what it can fit through). Make sure to keep the opening in the middle opened and make it so the itchy can't swim out of the top/sides.
STEP 2. Find one, but don't feed it, closer to the trap you find it the better.
STEP 3. Bring it through the opening in your trap, it should follow you but it might swim off occasionally.
STEP 4. Shut the ichty in the trap, beware of all aggressive/territorial dinosaurs nearby.
STEP 5. Head to your base and get:
1. Required amount of taming food of your choice (Check "info")
2. A itchy saddle (Requires level 13, supply drops might give you one too)
STEP 6. Feed the icthy till it's tamed
STEP 7. Put the saddle on
STEP 8. Do something awesome (and probably die)

Make a trap, lead it inside the trap,place a Ceiling so it doesnt get out, use a soothing balm or minor balm or major balm, tame it with dodo kibble, enjoy (◠‿◕)
Dont feed it raw fish meat!!! Normal raw meat tames literally so much quicker up so more people can see
Tried taming it where 15 megaladons were... did not go well. I tamed it barely and immediately all the megaladons attacked it, killed it, and ate it...
Yeah, bad day.
Make sure the area is clear of megalodons first
Still get unnerved by how nothing will arggo while riding an itchy- drove past dozens of megalodon and mantas and didn’t get attacked. Don’t get off near any aggressive creature tho- because it will kill you on site
How to tame a ichyosaurus in ark mobile.
1. Look in the water, they are mostly found in giant ponds or the ocean from my experience. They most likely try to hug you.
2. Have dodo kibble or raw fish meat in your hotbar
3. approach ichy and click the dodo kibble or fish meat once your near it.
Continue doing this untill it is tamed.
4. If you are doing "Tame ichyosaurus" quest, then you will get a acsendant ichyosaurus saddle.
Information and tips about ichyosaurus:
If you have acsendant saddle and high level ichyosaurus, level up melee and health, you will have a incredibly strong ichy. People say they are weak, but if you do that it will be really strong, and I know its true because I tamed a high level ichy with ascendant saddle and I killed brontos, megalodons, sarcos and more. I really recommend dodo kibble for taming. Try getting a hungry low level ichy first and when you try taming a higher level, it will be WAY easier. Don't worry, they will never hurt you unless they are being ridden by another person in PVP and they decide to attack you. Goodluck taming a ichyosaurus!
If your ever gonna want too start taming sea creatures this is the must have. It’s the fastest underwater mount and you unlock its saddle at a lower level. Great for collecting oil.
You would think the ichthy is the fastest sprinting underwater island tame, but it is only the 4th fastest.
These numbers are speeds of tamed underwater creatures when sprinting while swimming at 100% movement speed:
#4. Ichthyosaurus - 23.76 m/s
#3. Manta - 27 m/s
#2. Mosasaurus - 35.2 m/s
#1. Plesiosaur - 36 m/s
Note: Alpha tuso is 31.5 m/s and alpha mosa is 37.8 m/s when sprinting
It takes faster and easier with raw meat. But Dododex thinks it only eats raw pine meat and raw prime fish meat.
Also rip mine.
He was a friend to me :(
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).
