Utility Tips
What is a otter used for? otter battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Otters are one of the most useful creatures in the game. I’m actually not exaggerating. Either it’s intentional or a bug, but the otter can carry MULTIPLE artifacts. This means, if you are careful enough, you can bring an otter, filled to the brim with artifacts, to an obelisk, allowing you to get a lot of blueprints, but best of all, tons of soothing balm. This means you can make SOOTHING BALM literally EXPENDABLE. Now you won’t ever have to worry about taming creatures!
P.S: They also keep you really warm. With hide armor you can enter the frozen plains.
Otter Tips:
1-If you sent them hunting fish, theres a chance the otter will harvest black pearls.
2-You can use otters as an incubator, place 3 otters in a triangular shape, place the fertilized egg in the center, and the egg will hatch.
3-You can place an otter on your shoulder, and it will provide cold resistance if you are in a cold area, or heat resistance if you are in a hot area.
4-You can also strengthen the cold/heat resistance if you upgrade the otter's melee damage stat.
5-If you killed them (even on purpose), that's all good (: they aren't even that cute anyway.
6-They can equip hats.
7-They only eat FISH MEAT (Even when tamed), otherwise they will starve and die.
