How do I kill a cnidaria? cnidaria battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I fell in some water and couldn’t move the only people who could save me were probably spongbob and patrick
They give biotocxin if you kill them
I think these are the most annoying water Dino after piranhas but to kill them make them chase you closer to the shore and the start either shooting them witch is the best way but I use a spear because i don’t carry bows or slings with me
They have no use practically there to Annoy to death (literally) it says they're passive but aggressive when approached but that's a lie these things kill all things not wild in the water I had went to do something on my itchy them got off and while on a mountain it said my itchy god killed by one of these horrible animals so just get a bow and arrow and shoot them (while your out of water)
TAME BASILOSAURUS!! They do not affect the Basi at all whether you’re using it as your mount or a follow tame. If mount tame you won’t be shocked or knocked off while killing or if follow tame use it to kill them so they don’t kill you and whatever Dino you’re mounted on.
P.S. just incase so I’m thorough and not misleading any “noobs” or beginners to tame the Basi it’s a “passive tame” or “non-violent” so taming it does not involve knocking it out. Tame an Itchyosaurus(also passive tame but they don’t try to attack you) once you tame the Itchy use it to tame the Basi otherwise the Basi will attack you
Be sure to be on land when you see these guys, they have long range vision.
Also, NEVER EVER use melee, just ranged, these jellyfish are sure a nuisance but give bio toxin which is basically the narcotic twice its stats
If you’re in the water without a tame, as long as it’s shallow backpedaling is almost fast enough to outrun these suckers. Although their stun renders you unable to move, you can still stab it, and they’re squishy.
Guys the best way to kill these guys is
Go in water and get out and they will comme to you
Get them near shore
After that go in water again and come out
These dumbos will follow u on land and die
(This worked for me on mobile)
The only use they have is bio toxin it's better than narcotics
I'm Tiger and press the trang arrow attacking the dimmorphodon if u like it and to help newbies
I lost a space dolphin to jellyfish this says enough if you think you can just go by them in a hurry don’t just take the time to go a different way
They aren't that bad if you kill it with a crossbow or another ranged weapon. You can hit the body after it's dead with a melee weapon or tool and you wont get stunned.
Lost my Plesio on six of them so i tested with two high level Dunleos. Worked well just 10% health lost... The dinos are short time not stunned, so they can attack them. More dinos less care about them! Never swimm alone!They will get you :)
I nearly lost my 3000 attack lvl 500 shadow mane too these guys so always have a backup
I once saw some glowing stuff near seashore I said are these energy thingies but on I came closer it was Cnidaria and I tried killing them but they killed me and my dodo at least I got and dilophasaur now
Don't bother. Just don't bother.
Trust me on this one.
DEFINITELY DO NOT GO NEAR THESE, now there is a story:
My friend was having fun with his new rifle, then he jumped on one of his sarcos (he has 3 :D) and went underwater, one of these stupid creatures just pulled him OUT of the sarco and literally surrounded him, he killed them all but drowned, he was going to lose all his stuff, if you see these just kill them from land or DO NOT GO NEAR THEM
"Early Game"?!? go tell that to my dead sarco, gatorade. more like endgame for you. These are endgame not early game.
These things are danger at any level. They killed me and my sarco. One up = one respect to Composter
Lead them towards the shore then you can kill them. This is easy because they chase you right when you get in the water because they have a long Agro distance.👍👍👍
One can glitch inside of a Megalodon and all you can do is watch a lvl 34 kill your lvl 220
I hate these things. I was minding my own business with my abnormaly large turtle in the water. Then the game forced me to jump off. THEN THE LITTLE TURDS KILLED HIM!! R.I.P Puppers😭😭🥲
