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.
WARNING! Only feed your otters FISH 🐟 MEAT. FISH!!! Mine almost died because I thought regular meat was fine.
If you are on mobile you can tell if they are starving when they have a food icon above them. Idk about console or pc though.
Up if this is helpful or saved your otter!
