Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a ichthyosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ichthyosaurus.
These guys are good for underwater adventures. They like invisible to underwater dinos even tuso mosa. The letdown about them is they're so fast to get hungry when sprinting. Make sure you got plenty stack of meat in its inventory.
To tame(passive) they will come to you if they get close enough but will wander off after a few feeds. To make it easier build a small pen around them once they attract to you.
If your playing on mobile just make the dodo kibble, supper simple and will save you like 2 hours trying to tame to with raw fish meat

Does anyone know how to request these on multiplayer? I lost both of mine exploring herbivore island ( The Island ) and I can’t seem to request. I can’t get back too.
Can anyone please submit a tip for that?

What I did was I built a circle out of stone dino Gates and I got it to follow me in and then boom. You can stay in the circle and tame it and it wont be able to run. Hope this helps.
It is a great beginner tame On mobile all you need is a raft and you got a scary dolphin
After the initial feeds, it will swim normally if your mounted. Once you dismount, it will swim directly away from you. Use this mechanic to beach it and stay behind it in the water so it does not flee to ocean. Be mindful of piranha and land Dino's.
Note:
If you are taming Ichthys then tame them being underwater (don't get outside the water) or the hostile creatures will aggro on you.
This is Similar like Taming Arthro And Araneo In Caves
SPENT AN HOUR TAMING ONE AND IT JUST DIED
I tamed mine at the red obelisk. He sure liked me, since he didn’t even run away.
When tamed, block and support the Itchy. Or megs and mantas will KO your tame.
Go to red ob then there will be a river that will have some
Well if you are on mobile and dinos of lvl. 30 rarely roam the island, just cook a Dodo Kibble (You get a pursuit named 'Fresh Breakfast') Just put a Dodo egg, some rokcarrots(You can mostly find them on small hills to big mountains, and to be specific, in jungle ferns and to be even more specific, they thrive near mammals). Then craft a cooking pot and put filled water skins, then add some mejoberries and some fiber. Also add cooked meat. Then light the fire. You get your Kibble. Go near that dolphin and feed it. It will get tamed in one or two kibbles (if it's under lvl.30)
To tame a lvl 100 or more you need 80+ fish and a 10x taming boost
With the addition of the new Kaprosuchus you can now grab the Itchy and another tribe member can easily feed it dodo kibble, without the risk of it swimming away.
They are too friendly to be remembered as carnivores
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.
Hope this helped!

An itchy is easier to tame than most neutral/passive creatures. It naturally approaches to you if you swim close to it, but it will never make a move to attack, allowing safe feeding so long as there are not predators.
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...
