What is a ichthyosaurus used for? ichthyosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
MOBILE PLAYERS: I have tested it, and NOTHING, I mean NOTHING attacks you. This includes jellyfish, anglers, mosas, megs, EVERYTHING. HOWEVER. This only applies if you DO NOT attack the thing in question (or ammonites), and in my experience this makes it perfect for scouting out high-level potential tames
One of the best water dinos. It doesn't aggro other water dinos unless you attack them. EXCEPTION: YOU CAN ATTACK ALPHA MOSA OR THE REGULAR ONE AND IT WON'T AGGRO BACK ON YOU.
Just don't use sword or arrows, the mosa will attack you back even riding itchy. Just use itchy to kill mosa, you'll be safe (even for alpha).
Bring a lot of food for itchy, attacking will hunger the itchy.
Wanna farm anglergel without any problem? tame these bad boiz Nothing will attack you when your on a itchy and you can just go deep kill angler very easily.. the angler fish wont attack back idk why but yeah... also just be careful and keep an eye on your oxygen thats the only problem you'll face unless you have a scuba gear... good luck! and tame these right now!!!!!! they are the best i only just discovered that.
Even though most aquatic creatures don’t aggro it megs will so be careful around those, luckily you can easily outrun them. mantas and other things will also aggro it if you dismount so don’t leave it unsupervised in an area with a lot of sealife (sarcos may also be a threat as I’ve seen some go way out into the ocean where they aren’t supposed to go, though I don’t know if they do aggro or not)
They have a stealth feature that nothing will attack you while riding one. If you attack something, say, a megalodon, the meg will attack once, then leave you alone while you’re killing it. But if you dismount, then get back on, the stealth is disabled. WARNING! NEVER ATTACK CNIDARIA! If you do, you will die and lose your ichthy.
