How do I kill a cnidaria? cnidaria battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Well I went on my icthy with my friend who said that nothing attacked them except for the squid things and maybe the plesiosaur. But I was swimming down and ran into a group of cnidera but thy didn’t go after me. I’m not sure if it was a glitch because before they did go after me on my icthy. I hope this helped.
When you see these douchebags, get the fk out of there! Lost a level 89 mega due to a school of these things
Suddenly received three “Your Dodo Lv 6 (Dodo) was killed by a Cnidaria!” messages at the same time. Had no idea what that was, looked it up, and just whispered “biiiitch”
Not sure if it’s bugged, but do not go in the water without having your Dino on neutral, also having it on follow is handy so that every time you get shocked and get kicked off your mount it takes a second but then it kills the jelly’s and comes back to you. I’ve tried with a Spino, Megalosaurus, and A Rex!
Don’t think you’ll easily have them. Bc they’ll team with 20 mantas and destroy you ,your family and your dog
I never go into the ocean anymore because of these guys. It just seems they are always there, waiting to decimate your health in less than 10 seconds. I lost my Beelzebufo to these guys.
R.I.P Dover the frog
When swimming in the ocean (especially on a mount), do NOT approach. I got killed with all my gear and my level 80 Sarco almost died because I ran into one and nocked me off the saddle. The best strategy is probably to hit it with a crossbow or a harpoon gun on the shore where you can easily outrun if necessary.
All you need is a pike or crossbow and it's dead
They are fairly aggressive but slow and for some reason they have no cool down on their stun so they will infinitely stun a creature with no resistens doing like 40 damage until the creature dies or if you can get it away (the stained creature wont be able to move so kill the jellyfish or pick up the creature) if you have good o2 and the jelly fish is NOT agroed on you then you can swim away very slowly as the jelly fish will stun you about .2 seconds after your not stuned but if its agroed on you it will follow you and stun you again.
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 !!!
