Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Otter in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

I recently found out that they are the best tame in the game.

Use 1: Keep you warmer when holding

Use 2: LIVING INCUBATOR

Use 3: being the 2nd cutest thing in the game (1 is ferox, in my opinion).

Use 4: Can wear hats to make it even cuter, AND, have armor.

Hope this…

Even when tamed, they ONLY EAT FISH MEAT! I was lucky and found this out before my otter even started farming! Garnet is a helpful little boy. Gon’ get him a W I F E

Use them to hatch your eggs I used 2 of my otters to hatch a wyvern egg because I didn’t have enough air conditioners

Otters get silica pearls and black silica pearls from dead fish’s inventory. They eat the fish, and then the pearls get transferred over to the otter’s inventory.

Fun fact:Otter spawns at any river maybe a bit rare of them but if you have 2 otter and mated make a farm to became common but on waterfalls it has 45% to spawn on rivers 20-35% but on large rivers(including shore rivers) it has 10% cause of the danger if you tame it anything…

Pls don’t kill otters… they give plack pearls after killing fish or I think harvesting clams(silica pearls). This is super useful during late game!

I bred otters and the parent killed the baby. Lesson is be careful when breeding otters, some are adorable,cannibalistic maniacs.

While it is probably the cutest creature in ark, let’s not forget that it has a use. It is the best gatherer of black pearls, one of the most valuable resources in the game.

They're on Genesis in the Arctic in the east haven't really seen them anywhere else but every map is different. Hope this helps😊

Everyone mentions that they regulate your heat. I want to give you an idea how much.

Are you sick and tired of always changing your armor depending on temperatures where you’re at on the map? Well look no further! I recommend ascendant ghillie and one of these bad boys…

Otters give you both hyperthermic AND hypothermic insulation-not everyone knows this. Also if you know where they spawn on lost island that would be great cuz I can't find them anywhere. You otter tame these dudes-best shoulder pet on the island by far.

Do you say they’re just cute tames? No real use? WRONG! I took my level three otter out and got it to kill a fish. When I went into my house to get the fish meat out of it’s inventory, there was twelve fish meat AND 1 silica pearl. And you might say, oh, silica pearls are…

Grab the otter with your argentarvis but not with the claws, instead do it with the beak. That way you can carry him from river to river searching for big fish while he is sitting with your argi. Remember to change your argi to passiv

On mobile: You can tame it passively by feeding it, prime fish meat > cooked prime fish meat > raw fish meat > cooked raw fish meat.

You can pick them up with Argies and tame them right in your base or if you have taming food on your hot bar, you can tame them in…

I had tamed 2 basilosaurus and I was crossing a wide deep river when suddenly like 10 megs attacked. My basilosaurus killed them easily but they accidentally killed an Otter.

I was like NOOOOOOOOOO
