3 kill fish ( on mobile feed it actual raw fish meat )
4. Find one in river near redwoods
5. Argy it and tame your it in pen
These little guys are one of the most loyal creatures in ark. I once died to a carno immediately after taming an otter. She was a low level so I thought, welp she’s dead. It was only a few days later that I got the message that my otter died. I went to where the carno was and he was super low. She fought hard till the end. RIP Scarlett. :(
On Ark Mobile I’ve been able to passively tame them with raw fish meat(no dead fish body) and with basic dodo kibble.
Two facts they can keep you worm because of there fur and if you kill a fish and grab it he will eat it out of your hand even when it’s on your back hope u liked my facts sorry if this was a waste of time🦦
If playing on prim plus, yurts are your best friend when it comes to taming these cute little critters
On mobile passive taming with fish meat also if you lost a tame touch “tames”then Teleport the creature you lost
Use an Argie with its beak carry option and then just carry up fish and feed it
Pluck one right out of the water with your argys beak, land, drag fish over, not only will your argy hold the otter from running they'll even bend down to you so you can feed the otter. Make sure argy is set to passive, RIP too many potential pets........
I found a otter.. but it's not showing anything to feed.. please help
In order to tame it you have to feed it fish. On ark mobile you can feed it meat but otherwise, dead fish not meat. Some tamed are passive and knock out, these are just passive. Do not be fooled. I tried to when killing them for implants to revive them (ark mobile) for a dear ol’ mate for my girl poppy. They knocked out and could not be fed when knocked.
its says the food taming goes sabertooth salmon then piranha then colanath but you can tame one insta with 15x colnath but not tame insta with even a large piranha. and large piranhas i never really see
If your on mobile DO NOT LISTEN TO DODODEX! otters eat raw fish meat on mobile.
I found one near south zone 1 where the big beach is opposite. Was gonna tame it but I was a noob back then and I punched it. Utterly murdered me ;-;
You can tame it with any kibble on mobile but it only adds 5.1 percent so I do not recommend it
Hello. I found an otter at Lat 60, Long 80.

I don't know if I can call it luck but I just found 3 otters lvl 150(yes, all 3) cilling in the swamp near the Redwoods. I managed to tame only 1 'cause of kapros... Btw I am playing ark mobile and i noticed that otters are not tameable in the usuaal mode, with dead fishes,you have to feed them fish meat. I hope that helps and pls vote up so dododex update the taming method for ark mobile
Ragnarok, cave behind the waterfall in the corner of viking bay, one small entrance easy to block, otters and salmon spawn in the water, upv0te so people can get easy otters!
So, these guys are hard to tame if you don’t know how, so what you need to do, is make a small thatch structure with walls, then get any flyer that can grab small creatures, and grab them out of the water, then once you put the otter in the safe structure, you get raw prime fish meat *on mobile atleast* from sabertooth salmon, [caution! Sometimes they fight back!] and then atleast get five raw prime fish meat, in case they rot, and tame your otter! They are passive tamers, don’t knock them out! Then bring your little friend home one your shoulders
These guys are the hardest to breed! There so small that you can’t put them in a a very small thatch or wood structure, you need to breed them In a cage, and try to breed them like that
