What are tips for otter? Tips and strategies for otter in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You can find some of this on mobile near the south cave beach
All you need to do if your on consol and have an argie press right joystick and pick it with your birds mouth and you can feed it just like that
I found these guys almost impossible to tame on land since you automatically hold the fish in front of you, and it gets between you and the otter. However if you can swim with the otter it's a million times easier to feed it since you drag the fish behind you.
U kill, U die
Simple as that
When taming wear gille to not attract any unwanted attention and good luck
***FOR MOBILE***
Passive tame, taming balm 10x and 5 cooked prime fish meat is enough for a lvl 280.
Bring him to an enclosed space on base for easy taming. After feeding for the first time, it will take a couple minutes for him to get hungry again. After second feeding he will want to eat every 10 seconds or so.
Since there's no info on taming here, thats my experience. Do the math for your own level, not hard to tame. Best of luck!
At about 1,500 melee I was able to survive sulfur springs (150 degrees Fahrenheit / 66 degrees celsius) but I'd aim for 2k just in case
After upgrading melee to at least 1.5k you can upgrade food and health instead (Food in case you forget he's on your shoulder so he doesn't starve) or anything you'd like to upgrade 👍🏻

BEST WAY TO TAME! Pick one up with your Argie and tame it in the air! Very easy and away from predators!😸
Bring an ichthyornis and some grapping hooks with you, find your otter then find a concentration of salmon nearby. Go grapple the otter and bring it to the salmon then tell your ichy to bring you bodies and force feed your leashed otter ;) also you can put the ichy back on your shoulder and bring your otter still leashed back to base on your flyer
I saw a spino stomp one and I watched as my dino army ate the spino alive all the spinos siblings could do was watch in horror because they were next save all otters from getting killed by those dumb ahh dimetrodojs
When leveling up or mutating your otter put it’s levels at a 2-1 ratio into melee damage and health. Melee damage allows your Otto to keep you warm while on your shoulders better and health allows your pet to survive longer. Don’t level weight because if it is encumbered it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t move
On way to red wood around and bring to safe place
There isn’t a thing for mobile otters :( (you feed mobile otters raw fish meat instead)
Sorry not a tip but a question, has anyone seen an otter in lost island yet, have not found one yet.
For mobile users, give it fish. They don’t wander far so just stay close by and feed it PASSIVELY. I put a lil mining hat on my otter
