Tips & Strategies

What are tips for cnidaria? Tips and strategies for cnidaria in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
My poor Pela got herself tangled with this mess.
But those jelly helped me tamed many new dinos.
I just set my Bary into passive mode, dismount him and shot those jelly with crossbow. Their poison then used to show the land dinos who is their new owner.
My way to farm those zappy boy is use Sarco, get into crossbow range then dismount Sarco while in surface of the water. If you not moving, you would likely stand on top of your crocodile to shoot those Jellyfish.
Adventure log: Cnidaria aka death jellyfish is an annoying invertebrate that can be also classified in the category of (should be out of the game). They can cause big problems even though they seem small and don't do lots of damage, ad these are all things underwater explorers need to look out for. In the ISLAND, they spawn in all of the waters sourounding the island and between west zone 1 and South zone 1. What we all don't know is how do they get in groups? Normall jellyfish are usually apart from a each other. We may never find out
Try to kill them from a distance or you’ll be in for a treat.
What I don’t get is how a jellyfish is the bane of our existence
I hate this |=(
this creature it’s so dumb I wish it would die and go to hell
Never go into these guys no matter how good of armor you have they will kill you
I hate these. Either use range or use a pelagornis and fly a bit above the water and bc it’s fish damage boost counts for cnidara it kills easily. If you see them glitch-fly to it don’t panic it happened to me and they just die from air.
I had a lvl 264 Barry I was goin to do a cave when a jelly fish killed my Barry I had 3 hp R.I.P giga chad we will miss you bro…
STAY AWAY
Also shotguns are best for killing these mf
So I tamed a lvl 145 tough plesiosaur had it for 24 hours to be exact . Go hunting for basilo blubber . Get off for 5 seconds to collect blubber turn around & there’s a shock party disco show going on behind me . I got behind my plesio made him attack “no attacks came out” so I pumped meat quickly “nope” RIP :( can’t have anything good in ark . Really don’t see the point of these jellyfish holding as much power as the Infinity Gauntlet. Do they want us to rage quick ark or ??? But yea … TAKE A DECENT CROSS BOW AT ALL TIMES IN WATER or CRYO A BASILO !!!
If you see them in the water, always go deal with them first...otherwise you choose the path of pain...
If you didn't deal with them first, they can stun you and/or your tame...
If you have good weaponry, you can fight them head-on to protect your tame...
If you turned and ran to shore and your tame died, you've only got yourself to blame...
One survivor lv20 or above with a long reach weapon is enough to take care of a thousand of these "overpowered" creatures. They get stuck in shallows easily and u can poke a lv200 to death with nothing but a primitive spear (if it doesn't break) They have an impossible to miss appearance which is actually farther than its aggro range. Slow swim speed means even a survivor with no speed upgrade can get across any river or channel on the island without getting stung once, at least on mobile. (Tames might get stung in which case run back to them and help them as quickly as u can, a high quality sword or pike can take care of most cnidarias in seconds)
How are these even herbivores and “passive”
These guys are heartless (quite literally) bastards who will kill every dino you have and then stay there waiting for you to jump in the water to get your stuff back
I think the ark devs should nerf these guys the paralyzing is just too op and kinda defeats the purpose of the whole game if there’s one bizarre op creature swimming around.
If you are gonna have a mosasaurus for a new tame, just be warned, these guys will kill it within a short span of time, so I suggest having other water tames to help protect your mosa that of which can’t be killed so instantly (my strategy) such as a megalodon.
These guys are assholes the first time I encountered one they one shot me, and I was level 100. Dam basterds 🤬😡
The best way to kill this is by the tuso, can kill the whole pack at once and wont dismount you or stop you from moving. Basilosaurus is immune to the attacks but its weaker and kills them slower.
Master craft pike needed. Or my Spinosaurus who can one shot these. Sarco got killed by ten. I used the wrong weapon. Why
They ignore you if you are on an icthyosaur
