Tiktaalik — Detailed Guide

The Tiktaalik is a small fish-like amphibian from the Aquatica map in ASE. It is an early mount that moves well in water, and it can hide to make hostile creatures lose interest.

Where to find it

It is native to Aquatica.

Taming

A passive tame played as hide-and-seek: it covers its eyes for a 30-second countdown while you hide nearby. Each failed round costs about 10% effectiveness, so clear out hostile creatures within about 50 meters first. It eats any fish; Raw Fish Meat is the easy choice, while Raw Prime Fish Meat and Prime Fish Jerky work best.

Breeding

Eggs need 30 to 34 °C, and the baby takes about 1 day 13 hours to mature at 1x.

Uses

  • Early mount: agile in water.
  • Scouting: its Hide ability makes hostile creatures drop aggro, rider included.

Tips

Pick your hiding spot before you start. Moving more than 100 meters away also counts as a failed round.
