What is a ichthyosaurus used for? ichthyosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
So, this is an update to my previous post about my Ichthy being aggroed on mobile. Apparently it was just a glitch and somehow it was fixed. If you're on mobile and the ichthys are clutching getting aggroed on even when you're riding them, try a few things. I do know that after my lvl 200+ died, I tamed another ichthy and all ichthys are no longer aggroed. So, though I don't know if this is how to fix it. Try it. Another thing to try is just to save the world in your backup saves and then delete the world and then restore it from the backup saves. If none of this works then I don't know how to help 😭
Usually, Ichthys are OP in mobile as they initially are mounts that don't get aggroed on like arthros and rafts. As long as you stay on the dolphin! But for your information, this is STRICTLY for mobile users.
BUT!!! For some reason...everything aggroes on my ichthys!! I tamed three ichthys and they all got killed because stuff aggroed on it! I didn't even attack anything and the ichthy was just chilling beside the beach! Why did this happen???? Is my game glitched? Or is it a glitch in mobile that nothing aggroes ichthys on mobile and thus my game is no longer glitched? Whatever it is. I need to fix this!!! But HOW???????
P.S. This is a rare occurrence, usually ichthys don't get aggroed on in my games, so it's not my ARK that's the problem, it must be my world that's the problem. But idk how to fix it!
They’re basically the pt of the ocean. They’re very fast and easily to tame, but have quite low stamina and weight and can’t fight anything. Great for travel and taming since you can shoot from their back, but you’ll get better underwater mounts later on. On mobile however, they have a very useful feature where no aquatic creatures will aggro onto you! This makes them very useful for almost anything in the ocean except fighting. Hope this helped!
While it's weak in HP, it benefits for the ocean. In Mobile, NOTHING will ever aggro it, not even a Tuso (unless you bite it) with decent speed and rider weaponry, their hunger drops by a lot when sprinting. If you try to tame deep sea creatures (like me and a Mosa) I highly suggest to bring TONS of food. A few stacks for your starving Ichy and the good food for the fricken Mosa that feels like it's extinct.
