ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
The dossier says dark caves but I have photographic evidence of them in the jungles. Their found in abundance in the swamps, and uncommonly in the jungles, so keep your eye open. They spawn literally where you would expect to see a snake. Stimulants are goof if you get bit because these guys will knock you out quick and kill you. To my knowledge it's not worth taming these snakes as they have an annoying version of passive taming that requires you to drop an egg near them so they can eat it. It's honestly easier to steal their eggs and kill them. Thankfully their not too difficult to kill as long as you shoot them in the head. A few head shots from a bow should do the job. I personally like snakes, but I'm not going to go through the trouble of taming one of these dudes just so it can die to an oversized seagull. Part of me is disappointed that this boa dosnt constrict its prey like it should have. Instead it's just an oversized viper

If you're in an area that has a lot of these, put stimberries in your hotbar so if you get bit, spam those so you don't knock out, if you knockout, you're dead.
Snakes... why did it have to be snakes....

The dossier says:
"Found only in the dark caves of the island"
They are already wrong! It should say something more like:
"Found everywhere but the dark caves of the island, this creature will gladly ruin your day by jumping out and killing you as soon as you even think about going to the swamp. Nearly impossible to tame because it has to be tamed via passive which is very difficult to do. Worst of all you need to feed them fertilized eggs. Why can't it e a little easier?
Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you hear something hissing
You're probably screwed
Use ranged weapons against titanoboas and watch your surroundings as the can team up and knock you out.
For new players: do not get hit by this at all or you will get knocked out. It will continue to bite you until you die. Please like this is my first post.
In real life, Titanoboa was fifty feet long and lived in the jungles of Colombia 60 million years ago. It was a massive, definitely rideable monster that could squeeze the living crap out of you.
Ark made it a smol poisoner instead of a giant constrictor. itβs called TITANoboa. Itβs supposed to be big.
Other fact: The irl Titanoboa lived alongside and possibly preyed on the irl carbonemys

Be sure to bring stim berries! And a gun. And a machete. And a flamethrower. Would you believe me if I said I actually like snakes? ~CL1
