What are tips for otter? Tips and strategies for otter in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you you kill plz don’t but if you kill you will get a item catch with useful thing my friend told me that. PLZ DONT KILL!!!!!
If your looking for meat use a otter thing (use a other thing)
I found 2 of them and when I encountered them to tame them, both got eaten by a piranha. :(
I had an Otter and named him Scarf. He completed my fur armour and kept me snuggly and warm on trips to the snow.
I got ambushed by an alpha raptor and we both died. I will replace my beloved Scarf.
In the mobile, you can’t use fish but you can use the normal passive taming method to tame them.
These guys are cute but you dont want to get to close to an otter. They are very capable of ripping your face off, and they will do it.
For anybody playing on mobile, it’s just a passive tame with raw fish meat and raw prime fish meat.
I saw one of these fellas in a nearby river surrounded by spinos, fortunately I was able to reach it, but the thing is I am a total noob so I tried to knock it out and feed it some fish but right after I did so my dodo murdered it without any hesitation, the poor thing squeaked as it was killed brutally, moral of the story, never underestimate your dodo, especially if you’re around a otter.
Its found in all the rivers so scan those and don’t head towards dangerous areas because they wont me there
To tame an Otter, simply interact with it (default "E" on PC) while dragging any kind of fish. Sabertooh Salmon is the best, Coel is the worst. Fish size matters more than type, so Megapiranhas are often worse than large Coels. When dragging large fish, chances are high that it will obstruct the vision while standing still; Just walk/swimm to the Otter and feed it before coming to a stop in order to keep the fish carcass behind you.
Quite common on Aberration, Otters spawn at large numbers from where the Fertile River delta splits in two (not going to the Fertile Lake) until its fall to the Luminous Marshlands. It's also worth note that the northern section has neither large predators nor Megapiranhas and Mantas on most of its lenght.
No other map has such a noteworthy spawn, but they can be found on most Redwood Forest lakes except for The Center, where it is unadvised to look for them.
Found easily in rivers on Abberation, near Spino spawns and are easy to spot by the cluster of fish protecting them. Sometimes you will see a Carbonemys swimming on top of a group. They eat a lot.
Don't plan on making a fuzzy otter army or Otterman Empire, unless you have a lot of fish income. Upping oxygen and melee may boost insulation, but with the level 55 (88 after tame) I got last night, it was only 12 hours before his food stat was dropping... already had one starve to death after 2 days of not playing.
When breeding otters throw Mum into a wooden cage, stand in there when she's ready to give birth and then it tends to make it easier to imprint on the baby. Saves you building a room for them unless of course you already have one spare
