ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These dudes hang out near the Beaches on herbivore island(Sometimes Mate boosted) so people can see ;)
I’d recommend the Phioamia for beginners 1 it’s saddles easy to craft
2 they have lots of health and 3 they are good for taking out bigger animals.
When you see one running you know it's just trying to get a Big Mac
This creature is passive, but when hit it will run, and it will be able to outrun you unless trapped. Make sure to have a bola handy if you want to tame!
First ever time I played ark, I chased one of these with my bare fists for 3 days (in ark). Got chased by pteranodons for thinking stealing their eggs was a good idea, got brutally beaten up by piranhas, chased by sarcos. Finally, after the poop machine ran into a rock, I knocked it out and tamed it. I then got a saddle and rode all the way across the map. We dodged every obstacle life faced together. Until a rex decided my purple guy (that’s what I named him) was a tasty snack, so I quit the game and started a new save. now I have a phioma eating rex- life’s weird….
How to tame a phiomia:
1. First the phiomia is fast, so create a Bola.
2. Take a fruits.
3. Throw the Bola at the phiomia.
4. And beat her until you see she passed out.
5. Feed her fruit.
And boom! You have a phiomia! It's easy so try it!
Simply use a bola and then a slingshot. It shouldn't take very long even on official server.
u can find them at beaches and swamp bola it or build a trap make sure u bring alot of mejoberries bring narcotics if u want knock it out then feed it mejoberries when tamed feed it stimberries for poop use the poop for fertilizer for ur farm
Just hit it with a bola, and then after that get mejoberries and give it to it, and then, after that, when it’s tamed, put about 100 Stimberries, and 300 amarberries it’s inventory, and then force-feed the Stimberries and then you have a unlimited fertilizer!
PS it is definitely worth the tame!!!!!!!
Description:
Wild:
In a world where survival is key, many factors are required to be met in order to get around. Phiomia ignavus is a perfect example of this profile, however not in every way.
Being found far and wide throughout the island despite most oftenly being found congregating within the swamps (which often leads to their inevitable demise), Phiomia ignavus is a friendly herbivore that prefers to spend its days grazing on the many shrubs throughout the island.
While in domestication its tusks have proven somewhat effective in combat, Phiomia ignavus is relatively timid despite trusting humans, and is wise enough to know that it’s safer to flee than risk its life in a dangerous fight that could result in its untimely death. It much prefers to instead use these tusks to dig up the various treats such as fruit, rare flowers and rockarrots for leisurely grazing.
Its versatile diet, which allows it to consume even some of the plants that are considerably sketchy for humans has lead to a defect in its digestive system where it defecates on a semi-regular basis, especially if it has eaten well. Stimberries are known to hasten this reaction, and a startled Phiomia will defecate at a noticeably enhanced rate when fleeing.If a panicking Phiomia runs your way during an adventure, its probably just about time to call it quits, as this is likely a sure sign of a predator.
Phiomia ignavus Can often be found in herds of 2-5, sometimes 6, meaning even if a Raptor attacks, which Phiomia ignavus has proven incapable of outrunning, it wont have enough time to extinguish the entire pack, as the first victim will provide a guaranteed source of escape while the Raptor is distracted, largely due to a phenomenon known as “Protection of The Herd”, or PoTH.
Domesticated
In such a dangerous world, Phiomia ignavus is at constant threat. It is bulky enough to where it can be killed for a significantly larger yield of meat than most other animals of its size, meaning that it is more likely to be preyed upon, which seems to be the source of its timidness.
However, Phiomia ignavus largely benefits from domestication, as it earns a protective saddled and enclosed, protective structures, as well as other creatures guarding it and ensuring its continued life, sturdy training that can enhance its strength, stamina and how well it can fight, and is often used as a farm animal, largely due to the fact that the size and composition of its feces is sufficient for use as a fertilizer.
Because of its value as a farm animal and not being fast enough or having enough stamina to be a chariot initially, domesticated Phiomia ignavus tend to lead a rather sheltered life from then onwards. Easy domestication does mean that tamed Phiomia of a large enough group can take on various predators, sometimes even including the Raptors that once haunted them, another effect of applying Protection of The Herd (PoTH) however, so they do have a chance to fight back.
If you are level twenty like me, try to tame it by trapping it by a rock. I just had to chase it.🥵
