Tidepup
The Tidepup is an axolotl-like amphibian companion for ARK: Survival Ascended, introduced with Bob's True Tales: Tides of Fortune alongside Genesis: Part 1. It can stay perched on your shoulder or grow into a larger form with a potent set of unique abilities. Time at your side shapes it, and the way you raise it and lean on it under pressure can steer how it evolves. When it finally falters, it may retreat into a dormant state and return reformed, blurring the line between defeat and survival.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Tidepup in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
apparently you tame it by letting it heal your tames?
How come this thing can be picked up by everything except the freaking tuso it literally make the most sense it can pick up a mammoth but not an axolotle like what
You can also hurt yourself with something like a campfire to tame it instead of using a tame.
Youn need to take your dino and injure it down to less than 10% health then ride it up to tidepup and it will do a green heal affect and sleep while sleeping feed it raw meat or kibble soon as ur done u can dmg your dino down to 10% of its health again and just keep repeating…

Tidepups removes the cool downs when using burrows of your Burrowbucks.
Use a syringe (Lv6. 10Hide 1Chitin/Keratin) to lower your health to around 10-15 (each syringe use takes 25 HP and has 5 sec cooldown timer) and these lil tidepod dudes will run up and heal your broken bob butt. After they've healed you, they will take a nap. Once…
Use a syringe (Lv6. 10Hide 1Chitin/Keratin) to lower your health to around 10-15 (each syringe use takes 25 HP and has 5 sec cooldown timer) and these lil tidepod dudes will run up and heal your broken bob butt. After they've healed you, they will take a nap. Once asleep, use the last tab on your hotbar to feed them (kibble is best, but mutton and prime work excellent too). Then BAM, you've got a healer.
To level up there evolution you can pick them up and stand on a fire or use the syringe to keep health low. The more they heal, the more they evolve. You can keep them as a shoulder pet or evolve to a full size saddle rider.
Keep yourself dehydrated, have a bunch of stimberries on hand to stop your rising torpor, and you can easily keep yourself at a low enough health to feed them without being risky
(You have to be at 10% or less for them to heal you and then you can feed them)
This guy prefers blue kibble(regular) to help tame :)
It prefers the regular kibble from my experience to help tame

Damage from fireplace is a method to build evolution progress.
After it heals your tame you have to feed it
I’m pretty sure you have to use a Dino that is super low, other tips have just said to hit your dino a little bit. Use something easy like dodo or lystro and get it to about 10% health and the tidepup will heal it and lay down. You feed the pup meat
Best way to tame, use a bloodpack on yourself so it heals you then just feed it to get his energy back
Need tides of fortune dlc so you have spend atleast $20
It’s a water puppy come on just tame it
They heal you
A helpful tip should have more words
Baby tidepup eat raw meat and keep under water
