Utility Tips

What is a ichthyosaurus used for? ichthyosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & 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
Good parts about ichyosaurus (mobile) - THESE FEATURES ARE ONLY IN MOBILE AND I HAVE NOT TESTED ON COMPUTER
1. You can hold a item while riding it. So you can tame things while riding it or get oil from underwater.
2. If you got ascendant saddle from quest and have high level ichy, they'll be extremely powerfull
3. Dodo kibble tames them very fast. Ingredients:Cooked meat, mejoberries, rockarrots, fiber, water, dodo kibble
If you wanna go somewhere on water this is a must need.
Their saddle is inexpensive and they are speedy as hell, easily being the fastest water mount the game has to offer.
Their taming is relatively easy, doesn’t take that much time and you only need like 9 meat. Also they don’t get aggroed on in mobile.
In general, this creature is a massive win when it comes to speed, traveling and gathering underwater resources.
This creature 10/10
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.
This thing has no equal on speed in the water, just be very careful after investing points into it since the lag can cause some things to appear right when you are on top of them. Also they are very squishy so a pack of jelly fish will usually spell the end for it if you get caught.
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.
A quick guide for all the ark mobile players out there :)
Taming - Easy. You just need 5-7 meat for lower levels. It’s a passive tame, and i recommend you do the taming in shallow area free of mantas and megalodons.
Use - It is a good mount for travelling across beaches and moving to different places. It also makes a good mount for leading a swarm.
Stats - It has good health compared to similar sized dinos, good stamina, high speed, and average damage. If a seasoned player rides an ithcy, it can take on a megalodon (because the megalodon AI is garbage) with ease.
Saddle-making - A bit expensive compared to standard saddles. It uses 10 raw metal so keep it in mind.
It is a very viable early game tame and can be taken on expeditions for oil and other materials
