What is a beelzebufo used for? beelzebufo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Besides the Karkinos, the Beelzebufo is the most fun you can have with an animal. For such a seemingly simple creature, the frog has so much love put into it. If you don't have access to snails for cementing paste, the frog is for you. If you kill Meganeuras, Titanomyrmas, Jug Bugs, or Glowbugs, you can harvest cementing paste from them. They also have a realistic life cycle. Even though the tadpole phase is just the butt outstretched, it is still cool to see metamorphosis in ARK. Frogs aren't stupid fast, but they are decent for transport, especially in the water. And lastly, their jump is only matched by the Procoptodon, Karkinos, (possibly) Iguanodon, and Ice Titan. With such a high jump, it is able to scale walls easily. Overall, the frog is an extremely useful and fun animal. Oh and to tame it, just bola it, knock it out, and feed it any meat or Regular Kibble and above. It is extremely easy to tame for such a useful creature.
Don’t listen to the big explanations on how to tame them, just be careful with two things, the level and their attack. If you get hit too much they will knock you out and being knocked out in the swamps ain’t fun. Bola them and try using tranq arrows or dart. Regular meat works just fine with low levels but with higher levels try using fish instead.
I have one of these called lightning with over 850% speed. I use him as my recovery crew. If I die to a micro raptor and carnos or if I die to thylacaleos he is there to help me get my stuff back. I cyro pod him for the way back (weight isn’t that good on him after all I put almost all his points in speed). Highly recommended getting one they are so good. They can even knock out things (upgrade melee for that). Also get cementing paste as well as chitin so they are great to have and take into swamps
