For new mobile edition you still need to feed it raw fish meat (prime is better) to tame by placing it in the last slot of your tool bar and walking over to the otter. Once you get close enough and see the message “drag a fish to feed” click on the fish meat in your tool bar to feed.

With the new version however this won’t tell you when the otter is hungry again, unless you actually drag a fish with you while doing this. You won’t be feeding the otter the dead fish, still the food in your inventory, but this will show the “wait till hungry again” message until it is hungry. dragging a dead fish isn’t necessary, the feed timers stated here still appear to be accurate for its feeding intervals, so I just pay attention to time rather than trying to swim around while dragging a fish. Remember the first feeding interval is longer!

Taming and utilizing the otter

Chapter one: location

The otter in Ark ASA the Island map can be found in the northern part of the red woods, and major river ways. The spawn points make them hard to find, and since the otters are so tiny. There is a small spot in the swamp area where they spawn but recommend not going there since there could be kapros, sacros, and deinosuchus’s (if you have the mod). Theres also a small lake in the redwood towards the west where you can find them

Chapter two: taming

There’s two ways, an easy way and more difficult way. The easy way is you want to find it and you want to have an argentavis and catch it. It will be in your argie’s mouth and you would want to catch fish, preferably sabertooth salmon, (1.5x size is the best). Kill it and drag the body to the otter and feed it. The harder way is when you find it in the water. You just wanna kill fish and drag it towards it and feed it. It’s more difficult because you could lose sight of the otter, or it could die.

Chapter 3: Utilizes

One major utility is that it could regulate your body temperature. When you pick it up on your shoulder, it gives you heat and cold resistances. This could help you with longer expeditions and the north of the island. You can get better resistance if you increase their melee damage. Another utility is that it could hold more than one artifact at a time, unlike you and any other. You can put hats on it, which makes it look even cuter than it already is. Hopes this helps!!

This is my first tip next will be a dodo

Otters can protect you from cold climates drastically, they eat up all your depression and aren't hard to tame at all! Just catch some Sabertooth Salmon or Piranha and bring the corpse to the otter and feed it. There you have your very own cute little otter. But remember to Bola it so it doesn't run away first. About 2 just in case. Kill one and I'll find you on multiplayer...

Want an otter to keep you warm in the mountains? Want an otter to hatch dinosaur eggs for you? This is how you get one! (and keep her alive).

Assuming you are on the island, Otters are mostly found around the redwoods And the main thing is along the black sands. However, they can be found in almost every river in the game.

The otter eats whole fish carcasses, not raw fish meat. You have to approach her while holding a fish corpse and press "Feed".

An extremely important points

★ After you have finished the training put it in the inventory of the otter raw fish. Many times the otter becomes tame when there is no food on it and from there the road to starvation is very short. (R.I.P miss Otter Hightower)

★Otters can run very far, so confine them before training begins. They can be picked up with any flying animal the size of a pterodon or larger.

Successfully!

I've found my 5 otters in two spots. The first two where the beavers spawn near the waterfall area where there's that one cave (27,48.4) on the top of the waterfall the little water area below the beavers & then the other with the beavers above. Second spot (no cords, sorry) near the blue OB where there's that big area of water with that huge weird tree in it. Hope it helps!

(I’m on mobile) I just built a box without a lid (1 thatch foundation, 3 thatch walls, 1 thatch door and 1 thatch doorframe) by a lake so I could fish for fresh food to tame then I hopped on my pteranodon and I followed the river around the red woods (without the swamp) to find one of these lil guys and pick him up then took him to the box I made and put him in it. Turns out the for some reason the otter wanted COOKED fish… luckily I had some already so I just fed him that and some soothing balm and he tamed in about a minute. DO NOT READ THIS TIP THINKING ALL OTTERS EAT COOKED FISH IN MOBILE. Up if you found funny or helpful

Use an Argentavis' C-attack to pick the otter up and hold it in its beak. This makes it so that you can keep the otter in one place and don't have to keep track of it while getting fish. It also makes feeding the otter larger fish much easier because the character view isn't blocking access to the otter's "feed fish to tame" prompt.

⚠️ WARNING: YOU WILL MELT IF U SEE ONE, IT IS TOO CUTE ⚠️ Ok.. now that is out of the way, if u do survive the cuteness, this is how to tame it. I suggest you mainly look around the redwoods on the island, I have found 4 of them there. After you found one, you wanna try to wait until it is on land because it is easier that way. Next you feed it your raw fish. Prime fish works best. After a little bit of waiting you can feed it again. After a couple of fish, they should be yours!
