Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a ichthyosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ichthyosaurus.
why are these things so hard to tame?? i swear every time i feed one it swims 200m below the surface where i cant follow
As always, Wildcard messed everything. On ASA, they will swim away when first fed. So it will be impossible to tame without a trap, save your time people!
With the release of ASA these things become a lot harder to tame. The movement speed nerf really impacted this early game tame. Since you can’t even match the speed of these with flippers, catching up to it is impossible on foot. SAVE YOURSELF AN HOUR OF SWIMMING AFTER THESE AND BUILD A TRAP!!
For an early game tame; wild card made these very hard to get in ASA.
A basi is way easier to tame then these. That’s saying something. WC really messed this one up, big thumbs down 👎🏻👎🏻
they are not weak if u have good level and acendent saddle with those they can kill prontos and many megalodons
How to tame:
1. Prep with raw fish meat, raw meat, or dodo kibble at best (simple kibble on pc)
2. Locate one
3. Put the meat/kibble in your hotbar and give it to the ichthy
4. Follow it and feed it when its hungry until tamed
Hope this helps!
It's hard to tame these guys they like to hang out with very dangerous creatures and they wander a lot so use it's preferred kibble to tame it. So bring a turtle or a sarco or both to tame it,
If you tame one of these and live on the beach you will never need oil again because these things can outswim almost everything in the ocean and all you have to do is swim to the bottom and quickly mine some oil and then come up again so i recommend leveling up their weight they will be able to carry more oil so I recommend doing this
I know this is under taming I been trying to to tame this but there is sharks every time so annoying
On mobile , first do the kibble quest and make dodo kibbles, best food for taming icthy...
Ichty has been nerfed!!!
All wild or aggressive d dinos will aggro on you even if you ride an ichty 🙃🙂
When taming do it fast since it’s taming meter will go down after a while even when you are feeding it ( I play mobile, ps4 couldn’t handle ark game)
Beware of mantas and megs. They can kill your tamed ichthyosaurs like mine :(
These things are like dolphins ounce they see you they will swim up to you and ask for food (it’s a passive tame)
Well im playing ark on mobile i lost my ichty today bcuz it got stuck in the rock r.i.p invisible the best ocean tame i got no dino can aggro on this and best tame to find a high level ocean tame.....so later on i want to tame a decent level mosa so i decided to tame new one so i went to the herbivore island got my kibble 3x sooth balm after i tame it riding it the next thing happen is all of the aggressive ocean dino aggro on it i don't know what to do now bcuz if this happen its gonna hard to tame one decent mosa.... I miss my invicible already :'(
So never Be Near A Megalodon cause I Saw One And Ran
And I saw One Get Eaten alive Also They are Crazy fast
At the time of writing this, the dex says simple kibble, it's regular.
Can be found on West shores, prepare your dodo egg kibble and tame it
All I had to do when taming it was find one and follow it around on a raft while feeding it
After the first feeding the itchy will swim away, but it comes back soon to play with you, so be prepared to spam feeding button if it is close to you...try to move a little bit in it‘s direction
If you don't have a trap nearby, flippers are a must for this tame, also found hovering on a griffin between feeds to keep track of it is very useful!!!
