Encountering Tips

How do I kill a insect swarm? insect swarm battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They do not aggro to larger dinos such as a rex or theri.
Simply go into the water to evade them entirely
So they judt go through all your stuff
If you want to kill these just hit it with a torch, once on fire their hit box will be visible due to the fire animation.
If you need to run away from them go to water. Also, being right next to crustal nodes worked for me thrice, so that is possibly another way to rid yourself of the swarm.
These idiots don’t aggro you in water.
They are terrified of tamed frogs! If you tame beezlel, they actively swarm away from you. Also if you kill a swarm with a frog you will NOT get any cementing paste, only meat and hide
Just an untamable swarm of bugs that'll pester you until they kill you or you leave...
Really annoying try not to encounter
If you hate these guys just like I do then always keep a torch on your hotbar whilst in the genisis 1 bog because a torch is the only thing that can kill them. -ofren
0.5 damage but you have to hit the middle one or you can’t hurt them
When these things decide to attack you get out your torch and swing.
Structures won't save you from them
Alway keep a torch to take them out
🆙 this tip if u think that they shouldn’t be able to attack u during missions. I was doing dodo basketball and I kept getting swarmed. Why do they have them attack u when you’re doing missions?
I built my house on water (foundation in shallow water) and they didn't do anything to me, even tho they broke into my house.
I died died died died died dead
Use a torch they have a big hit box
Placing standing
Torches helps keeping
Them.
Kill it with FIRE!!! Onlyworks in 3rd person.
