Minecraft is a popular sandbox game where you gather materials, craft tools, and build anything you imagine. Recently, the deep ocean in Minecraft added a new creature, the Zombie Nautilus.
The Zombie Nautilus is the undead version of the peaceful nautilus and usually appears with a Drowned riding on its shell. So, here’s a complete guide on how to tame Zombie Nautilus.
How To Tame Zombie Nautilus In Minecraft
You need to fight the Drowned before you can tame the Zombie Nautilus. After defeating the Drowned, the creature becomes calm and no longer attacks you. You can then equip pufferfish in your hand and move close to the Zombie Nautilus.
You should feed it slowly until black sparks turn into red hearts. The hearts mean it now trusts you. After you tame it, you can ride it by placing a saddle on its shell.
Where To Find Zombie Nautilus In Minecraft
Zombie Nautilus appears in ocean biomes, often with a Drowned sitting on top. If the Drowned spawns holding a trident, there is a 50% chance it rides a Zombie Nautilus. You need to search near ruined portals or ocean ruins, where these mobs appear most often.
The water around them looks darker, and their shells have a green glow. Exploring the ocean at night increases your chances of finding one since Drowned mobs appear more frequently in the dark.
How To Defeat A Drowned Riding Zombie Nautilus
The Drowned on top of a Zombie Nautilus attacks fast and deals eight to nine hearts of damage with its trident. So, you should fight from a distance using an enchanted bow or crossbow.
If you prefer close combat, you can use a Water Breathing potion or a Turtle Shell helmet to stay underwater longer. If you already have a regular nautilus mount, you can combine its dash ability with a Spear weapon.
Keep hitting, dash away, and repeat until the Drowned falls. Winning this fight makes taming much easier since the Zombie Nautilus becomes neutral afterward.
How To Ride A Zombie Nautilus In Minecraft
After taming the Zombie Nautilus, hold a saddle in your hand and right-click on it. The saddle gets attached, and you can ride it right away. Move with your direction keys and hold spacebar to charge a dash that helps you travel faster underwater.
You should equip nautilus armor for extra defense during long swims. Zombie Nautilus moves swiftly and breathe underwater, making them great for exploring underwater. Do not ride them above water during the day, as they burn in sunlight unless armored.
How To Get Nautilus Armor In Minecraft
Nautilus armor comes in five types, copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite. You cannot craft it, but you can find it inside shipwrecks, buried treasure, or ocean ruins.
You can upgrade diamond armor to netherite with a smithing table, netherite ingot, and upgrade template. Each tier improves defense and protects the Zombie Nautilus from sunlight.
