Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a otter? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a otter.
On mobile you passive tame with raw fish meat! For a level 20, 1 raw fish gave a 9.4% taming so it took around 11 fish meat to tame. After the first feeding interval, it got hungry again after around 30 seconds each time.
***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!
I found one in a really dangerouse area and let me say it was worth it I love otters sadly my little bouncy died to a raptor soon after tamed I forgot we were in a dangerous area. Poor little bouncy :( she bounced at my feet it was so cute :)
If youre on a server that doesnt let you pick up wilds in pve because the host is a baby back itch then youll just have to get lucky the old fashioned way
To tame one don’t punch it will have a 0% chance of getting knocked out tame it with raw fish in your hot bar or drag a fish over to it a dead one okay
You can tame a bunch of these in the ponds in the redwoods, they are very easy to tame just swim to the bottom of the pound and feed them fish
I have a baby otter I need tips on how to keep care of it cuz I don't know
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.
Like a neck pillow, they always go missing but sit on your neck and can keep you warm, if a neck pillow had cental heating, it would practically be an otter from ark
After taming it only eatsh fish meat. The Wiki lies.
I’m no expert but I think I’ve found the best way to tame these guys. All you need is an Argentavis and 5-8x primitive spears. Our plan is to snatch the otter from the surface of the water with the Argy’s mouth grab (click right stick or C on pc). This part might seem a lil daunting but I believe in you. Once you’ve scooped up the otter keep it in the mouth of the Argy and find a nice body of water with plenty of sabertooth salmon. Land on the shore close to the water (the otter will stay in the argys mouth). Now use the primitive spears to kill sabertooth salmon (or any large fish). When killing a fish with primitive spears it will automatically start dragging the body. Now here comes the best part. With the otter in the Argys mouth which will be raised above you, it is actually possible and super simple to feed the fish to our otter friend. You now have an Otter with none of the headache.
Guys just don't waste your time trying to tame it on the mobile version of ark Because they don't carry any artifacts on mobile i learned that the hard way..
Stay smart Mosolila
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!
I have 6! 4 of them are common colors, 1 is green and magenta, and the other is pink and purple!
Okay, so the way I tamed them is simply by first: kill any dinosaurs near it or in range of otter, next eat a rare flower, then it will come up to you and nibble on your argy (preferred mount cuz it can pick up the otter in beak), then use a ithyornis (or a weapon to kill the sabertooth salmon if you don’t have a ithy yet), then drag the magical (or less magical) fish over to the otter and feed it!
Worked 10/10 for me (it can get a bit annoying when the fish keeps getting in your face)
Once I found an otter on the beach but it was eaten by a mega piranha
They eat raw fish meat. Be careful when taming it DO NOT PUNCH IT or you will fail the tame and it will be aggressive. They live near dangerous area. Be safe. Watch out for piranhas they always spawn in the river. Believe me IF YOU'RE TAMING THIS CREATURE BE CAREFUL FOR PIRANHAS YOU WILL ALWAYS ENCOUNTER IT IN THE RIVERS. (you can put hats on they're heads)
Fun fact:Otter spawns at any river maybe a bit rare of them but if you have 2 otter and mated make a farm to became common but on waterfalls it has 45% to spawn on rivers 20-35% but on large rivers(including shore rivers) it has 10% cause of the danger if you tame it anything you kill he/she will gather meat/prime meat/fish meat/prime fish meat on dead bodies up if this help
Don’t have a gun pulled or anything while taming the otter:)
Pick up with flyer like a pt or argy and feed it while your on it and holding it
The Argy has a 3rd ability that let's you pick up very small animals with its beak. Grab an otter out of the water using this and the Argy will hold it still in a safe spot on land while you go get a fish. You can feed the otter to tame while the Argy is holding it.
