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

To tame one easy just grab it with argent’s beak and land next to a location full of saber tooth salmon. This trick allows you to feed it fish without the fish getting in the way of the tame. If your playing on Aberration or Genesis1 sorry about your luck lol.

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.

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…

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…

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…
