Tips & Strategies

I found one the size of me and my brother together!
Sabertooth salmon=zombie pigman. If you attack one they all come, if you one shot it no one else will come.
Idk what it is with these things. When I was a noob at a really low level and I punched these things they would eat me alive, yet now they swim like crazy away from me. Anyone else experienced this?
An Ark dev said that these will be tameable in the future!
These guys won't attack you unless you attack them. They will them group up and latch on to you, giving you the bleed effect.
If you go to a certain spot on ragnorok (i forgot what its called) but its next to the canyon the spinos spawn in. You can see these them jump out of the water and try to swim up the waterfall i just think thats a cool detail its the onl time they can get out of the water without instantly dying
Tamable using fish baskets from aberration. They seem to flee from the baskets once placed. It is a good strategy to pen then in with fence foundations and walls, or kite them to a pen. Place your basket on the other side of the wall and catch.
What is this guy doing in the terrestrial category
If you attack it it gives you tasty food and a beating from the fish gang
(You probably lose the tasty food after the beating)
You don't need to build a pen to tame, I just tamed my first thanks to the tips on here. Just wait and check the traps that have salmon near and when the basket says pick with salmon (words to that effect) pick it up and you've tamed a salmon! Thank you 😘
Me and my sister have found a giant one of these in a river near my house. It's bigger than an itchy. Gonna have so much meat....
I see the big ones frequently, and I recommend you catch it with a fishing rod. The bigger it is the better the rewards. I got a weapon blueprint once, the piranhas can be decent too sometimes but, salmon are way better. Well, usually they are, it's best to fish for them that to kill them regularly. Hope this helps.
What I usually do is go through the lake and harpoon kill any that are 1.4x or less. Then I set traps and punch one of them, it'll grab the aggro from the others. Now you have 5 angry fish coming at you and your line of baskets.
The moment one of them is within range, just grab them in the basket line.
Wearing flak or riot gear is suggested but not necessary since 80% of the lake fish are dead and the remaining 20% won't deal too much damage
I once found a huge one of these by redwood forest the size of a Meg
Ez to get raw prime fish meat from them
Think of them as zombie pigmen, don't attack them unless you wanna get swarmed and messed up
Why does it say terrestrial for this that don’t make any sense it a feesh it can’t go on land
