What is a ichthyosaurus used for? ichthyosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These friendly aquatic dinosaurs are very helpful in ocean travel or gathering oil. They can outrun megalodon's and other things, they usually just swim up to you trying to play with you. They don't attack either provoked or unprovoked (I think). They have an ability which they don't aggro anything (I think it's only on mobile), I literally swim with megalodons and they don't give a crap about me or my dolphin, I even touched a jellyfish (cnidaria's) and they didn't sting me. I'm serious!
Whatever you do, make sure they never get hit by the jellyfish, if they do they'll flee as soon as they can depending on their set behaviour (specifically if on neutral/attack your target they'll flee when the cnidarias are cleared out) I haven't tasted if they do so in passive anyway but im not willing to risk losing of of these good bois
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.
Well, I read the comments about them being aggrod by everything in the sea and thought "but I'm in shallow water? And there are 0 sharks? Only these 3 friendly dolphin who swam up almost ASKING for me to take them under my wing?
Well, after no time these guys were following along behind me in my boat!...... and then they were eaten at our first stop along the coast....
Tamed my first one today a 135 kibble tame. I've never tamed water mount before and I am on Center. R i p scratchy. My Level 55 came scratchy 2 will never replace you. I need a scratchy because it's an itchy saurus AKA Itchy and Scratchy. Yes whether or not you're on it or not it gets aggroed
