Beware all who dare cross these nasty sardines and live to tell the tale. If ye be dumb and cross these ungodly creatures of the sea. Ye be warned all tamed beasties shall die a most horrible death and ye along with it for it shall send all who tread tbeyre water's to Davy Jones locker. If by some miracle ye wishes to capture this beast build a trap and lure it in with something fast. Do not tame with a club. Use trank arrows, darts or harpoon. Forget saving ure lure. Or it be the locker for you!

Let it munch on your mosa and basi while you blast with arrows or harpoon. They won't run when torpidity gets high and will regen health quickly while attacking your tame. They starve in a few minutes, no narcs needed. 12-14 superior kibble for 150 on 1x

Tame a high level turtle and let this thing munch on that while you knock it out. Watch out you don’t kill it as it doesn’t torpor run and heals quickly. I call them sardines, although they are definetly not sardine sized hahaha

If you are on the center you can find tons of these in-need-of-a-dentist fish around the beaches of the redwoods. Hope this helped 😃

Just kite it to a beach and itll start to flop, use a longneck and tranqs, easy knock out and relatively safe, no traps needed for this one

Any tanky mount or lure it to a trap with an icthy (sacrifice the icthy) get out and start shooting it with tranq arrows

(Also dont listen to the people that say to use tranq darts they heal rapidly so your fine with tranq arrows)

It has high torpor so lure it to shallow water and trap it there, use darts. Arrows may likely jill it before it KO’s. It prefers superior kibble. Takes about 6 to tame a level 110 so scale it from there. Hope this helps!

These are pretty easy to tame, I didn’t even trap one I just had one attack my basilo near the shore and they don’t torpor run so that’s helpful.

There’s no need for a trap. All I had to do was get it to aggro on my Meg (while it was on passive) and I just shot away with my crossbow, tamed with prime meat. It’s a really quick and easy tame!

Super fast and annoying, just trap with dino gates and it’s an easy tame

Peek your head just under the water so you can see them at a distance. Shoot a couple tranqs at them it'll aggro and Chase and you lead it back to shore. Tranq it from the safety of the beach

Get in shallow water and trap with billboards then

1.shoot with shocking tranq dart

2.shoot with shocking tranq dart

3.feed kibble.

May 22nd. Official server weekday a Lv 130F took 10 Superior Kibble (~89.9% effectiveness +64 lvls) had 9614 Topor with mid-high topor drain and slow up tick. High chance to kill with crossbow if you don't pace yourself.

Definitely in vest in a aquatic tame, to tank the damage these things produce.. My 1st experience almost killed our tribes highest leveled Megaldon, and the Xiphactinus was only Level: 140. With that being said, beware of these deadly foes.

P.S. Also try and use Harpoon Tranqs. The Xiphactinus has low health, so if you bring any tranq arrows, you'll most likely kill it before you get the chance to tame it.

Can be instant tamed-I tank a pack of them with a turtle and tranq the highest level almost to full torpor and wait until it does it's bleed attack this will drain it's food stat completely but u gotta KO fast before the food stat rebuilds.

When I first encountered this creature I grappled to my pteranodon over the surface of the water. Immediately got dragged down and brutally killed. Do yourself a favor and tame a tanky creature that you can wield while riding or make a trap first.

Well that can catch you so first build the cage and make it like get holes but small that you cannot escape then you need a crossbow because if you get too close you’re cooked so you need a crossbow hit the head and boom you got you’re very X fish

If you use a tanky water creature, you can place it next to a vacuum chamber and shoot shocking darts from inside

How big are they and how to tame???

I tamed from back of a sarco. Let it circle me and pezzled it with xbow as it passed. It won't pick you off sarco.
