What is a ichthyosaurus used for? ichthyosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I dont know why alot of people are saying other water dinos dont attack this dino this is false everything shy of turtles and small fish attack you so always be aware of your surroundings. Also this dino is the fastest water dino so lvl stam and speed. Side note you will not win a fight against anything on this dino it is for traveling in water only. Stay away from all water dinos.
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.
Y’all… ichthys most certainly do get attacked in the water. Tell “nothing attacks u on them” to my ichthy who was violently slaughtered by an alpha mosa. Unless you play mobile (which is only about 5% of ARK players if I had to guess) they definitely get attacked even if you are in the saddle.
Tip : on mobile, certain ichthys get aggro’d by sea creatures when tamed, but certain others have the famous no aggro ability. While riding a no aggro ichthy, you have an entire world to explore. Nothing aggro’s onto you, even if you attack it. Ex. If you attack a meg, it might aggro for one second and attack but after that you can kill it without any hiccups. Keep in mind that not all ichthys have no aggro. You need to leave your newly tamed ichthy out in the water for a minute to see if anything aggro’s and kills it. If nothing kills or attacks it after a minute or two, the ichthy has no aggro.
Tip : in mobile, despite the common knowledge that either “ichthys lost no aggro ability” or “ichthys still have no aggro” there is something complicated : certain ichthys dont attract aggro until tamed, and certain other ichthys keep their no aggro ability forever. If you tame one, it might not have no aggro, so tame one and test the no aggro ability. If it has no aggro, you have found the perfect ocean mount. If it makes other creatures aggro, then it must be executed. I tamed 3 ichthys with no aggro, but then i tamed a 4th and it got eaten by megs immediately. that how i found this out
