What are tips for otter? Tips and strategies for otter in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Using a sabertooth salmon or coelocanth is a lot better than using a pirannha.
When taming wear gille to not attract any unwanted attention and good luck
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
***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 👍🏻

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
U kill, U die
Simple as that
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
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)
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
My otters are named Otterroshi (thank you, little sis.) Baby, Doll, and Rosey.
If you’d like one I highly suggest scanning beaches with small land masses in the middle! Breaks them up into two and I’ve had so many spawn it’s insane!
If you're looking for them on Aberration, bring a Parasaur with Turret Mode to a river in the Fertile Zone. For whatever reason, Otters are classified as enemies, so the Parasaur can find them easily! Got like 12 of them thanks to this.
