Migol Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Wondering if there's some graphics option or other method to stop this from happening: Whenever I go to tame an Otter I find in the river, I kill a fish, grab it's corpse with E, and try to drag it to the (on serious stimulants zooming everywhere) otter in question. The problem is the dead fish graphic gets in the way, and I can't feed the otter because I can't see it to get the prompt to feed it...I have to contort in the water like a crazy person, or let go and pick up the fish rapidly to try to have a chance (if the otter slows down at all). Is there a way to disable or move the dead fish's corpse from hanging right in my front view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdligerAdler Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I had the same issue. I ran (lured otter into taming raft) to the otter and quickly pressed feeding before the fish bounced back in front of me and got between us. Was still tricky and annoying though.

Frogspoison Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 It's extremely tricky in the water. Luring the Otter into a cage on land, or grabbing it with a Kapro and bringing it on land makes feeding the otter. INFINITELY. easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get it to deaggro, use a tranq dart to KO it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazaryu Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 yeah i can attest otter are infinitely easier to feed on land, not only is it easier to press teh stupid button, they don't move as quickly, if possible i recomend building a cage for it on land a (raft works as well i suppose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcpullen Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I've had good luck by making sure I'm always walking towards the other with the fish, get up on top of the other, look down while still moving forward and mash E when the feed prompt comes up. If you stop moving, the fish goes all balloon like in your face. It's a sloppy mechanic for sure, but try to chase after it and keep moving to keep the fish behind your camera. Aside from that, luring it to a cage with rare flowers would help contain it, maybe scorched earth tents still work for housing them. Also practice in single player to get it down before official servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niphorox Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I use an argie to grab the otter with its beak and then land next to the river and then I use anky to kill all the fish so I can go grab them with and when I get near my argie then it lower it's head so I can give the otter the fish, so simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishootpaint Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 On pve the best way to get it into a pen is with a grapple hook, it doesn't spook it or make it aggressive. Just grapple and reel it into a pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyBear Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I click on the otter when i'm swimming towards it, then the fish stays behind you when you get close enough. The direction I head to the otter depends on a little trial and error to find the way that gives me the most time to hit the button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaprosuchus Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I usually grab it with something but when i am taming herperornis which is essentially the same thing, I lure it into a 1 foundation wide box. one side is a wall and ramp, other three sides are railings. i then use a ichthyornis to bring me fish to feed it, i usually find that ramming the railings and hitting E while cursing at my monitor works.
