Otters are wonderful companions, whether holding artifacts for you, or regulating your temperature, so here’s a guide to help you tame one.

1. Otters are found in most of the rivers on the island, so I recommend just following rivers until you spot one. Sometimes they can blend in with the fish, so take it slow, so you don’t miss one.

2. When you find one, it can be useful to trap it, because they tend to move around a LOT. Either way, you need to kill fish to feed it. The fish have a number next to their name like 1x or 2.3x or .5x. This correlates with the size of it, the higher the number, the bigger the fish. The highest number or biggest fish gives the most taming progress, so go for those. In addition, the type of fish matters. Sabertooth salmon give more progress than coelacanth which is better than piranha.

3. Once you kill the fish, you need to drag it. Then go to the otter. While holding the dead fish and looking at the otter, it will let you feed it to the otter. Repeat this until the tame is finished

Happy taming!

If this helped, please hit the upwards triangle, so more people can see

Use a Pteranodon and grab it on water. YES! YES YOU CAN GRAB OTTERS ON WATER USING PTERA AND PLACE OTTER ON A 1x1 THACH WALL THEN FEED WITH FISH LIKE SO EVERYONE CAN SEE

On mobile u feed them raw fish meat!!!!!!! Pls ^ if helpful and so more mobile player can see

Just feed it fish on mobile. I have four words words Belle otter allo pack one like for one ancient amber for her

I almost had my otter die while clapping a bronto with a shotgun because he only eats fish

1 yes = 1 more otters in ARK 2

These little guys are so much easier to tame in mobile, but harder to find. You still need to kill a megipirahna, but you don’t need to grab its corpse to feed the otter. After harvesting its meat you can easily walk up to it and feed it until it’s tamed. It doesn’t run away in mobile, and I’m sure you can use any fish meat.

Dear owner of Harry otter. I feel bad for you. I hope you find him. If not, go where you equip clothes, tap your number of tamed, and request him.

best to tame a ichthyornis and carry it with you when looking for one of these guys, put the ichthyornis on hunt and retrieve it will catch a fish and bring it back golden and will have a better taming affect to feed to otter, like this up its very important peeps must know :)))

I grapple hooked it, friend fed it fish while it couldn't run around, just stayed at the end of my improvised leash.

Just push this cute lil creature in front of a giga and it'll have an existential crisis. Realising the path of destruction it left in its wake and deteriorate in front of the otters blue sparkly marble eyes

If you club or punch the otter you are a terrible person ?

It is tamed in the same way as the Hesperornis, where you have to carry a dead fish to it. Larger fish, and those caught by Ichthyornis, apparently work better. Piranha are better than coelacanths for taming, and salmon are better than piranha.

I can imagine the noobs trying to tame Otters by knocking them out. And get a dead otter as a result. Don't knock out otters, it will kill them. Just use fish

Easiest way to tame pick it up in ur argys mouth so it cant move and feed it fish. As u can dismount ur bird and it will still hold the otter.

Well in mobile , it's u have to feed raw fish meat now or kibble or soothing balm , u can't feed the whole dead fish now ,

Up it so that new noobies like me can see

“ On The Island, going along the Redwoods and Swamp edge on the west side, you'll reach a sort of deep pool where the swamp ends. There's always at least two otters there..”

Whoever said this, a big thanks to you, sir! It really helped out a lot, even in Ark Ultimate Mobile Edition.

1. (Lat. 63, Lon. 27) is the more exact location for anyone who wants to find your otter more easily.

2. Raptors, Carnos, and sometimes even Rhyniognatha can spawn around that area, so if you're not feeling lucky, take your fastest Pteranodon and fly the otter to a safe place near water.

3. When taming these cute creatures in Ark Ultimate, you don’t need to crouch or hide from their view range. However, the strange part is that you do need to drag a dead fish to it first, then feed it by tapping your last hotkey (where you’re supposed to put the fish meat).

4. Besides of two otters, I also found two tiny poop-throwing Mesopithecus on the shore. So, good luck if you're also interested in those!

Baby otters will die almost instantly after being born be sure to feed it as soon as possible.

Just kidnappe it and feed them with fish ._.

If you are playing on mobile you don't bring it a dead fish instead you have to feed it raw fish meat. Similar to what is done with the diplo or other dinos of that type you just wait for their hungry to reset as indicated above their head and then refeed them.

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!
