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

If you find a otter tame it, when you put it on your shoulders it warms you up also you can put hats on it (my fav one is the T-Rex one)

Make a small building without a roof, preferably thatch, then get an argie or a pteranodon, go to the redwood river and scout around for the and otter, they don’t live in the swamp section though, then once found pick up the otter with your flying dino, then drop it into the…

Can incubate eggs if you are too lazy to make an air conditioner or fire pit, may need more than one or a high melee for the otter depending on the type of egg.

I caught my otter with a argen, just pick it up then press C to pop it into the birds mouth and he can’t escape! Land the birb and feed him Sabertooth fish for a fast and easy tame!! Up so other who don’t know this can see it, the argentavis is very useful for monkeys too!!

The otter will not gather pearls on aggressive you have to command it to attack 1 at a time. Also mine seems to be glitched after eating a fish it will follow a random tribe mate or try to run back to base idk if anybody else is having this problem but I'm getting tired of…

Can hold multiple artifacts can keep you warm and can keep you cold conform you white pearls and also just a really cute pet to keep around in a really easy to tame but hard to find but it is worth it. I suggest getting otter as soon as you can early game.

Otters can keep you warm I recommend upgrading attack damage and health attack damage will make you warmer

If you live up north close to the snow biome it's recomended to keep one of these cuties on you at all times so that way you can resust the weather better! The higher the level the better :P

These guys are essential for boss fights as they are the only creature in the game that can carry multiple artifacts at once.

Be warned, it’s quite tricky to tame these on console, why does they “feed” button have to be the same button as the “drop fish”, just WHY!

Use a pteranodon to place it into a trap so it doesn’t move around. Then, kill fish and drag their bodies over to feed the otter. Remember: Do not harvest the fish’s dead bodies, drag it over once they are dead. The otter spawns in most rivers if there are otters on that…

IMPORTANT TIP!!!

Otters are the ONLY creature in ARK that can carry multiple artefacts in its inventory at once. MAKE SURE you bring one it a cave to get multiple of them at once.
