Encountering Tips

How do I kill a cnidaria? cnidaria encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
While your tame still might die anyway if you have a high hp dino that gets zapped by these whistle followall and swim away. If you can i managed to rescue my 140 rex that way. She had 8k health and lost around half with a normal saddle. I came back with my re and killed them with rock throw. (It was super effective)
It wants to cuddle with you. It won't stop till it touches you
"won't attack unless approached" is a LIE. These things are the ones who approach ME, and then they swarm me. If theres any body of water with them I have to IMMEDIATELY get out of there.
these guys arent something to play with. they are slow tho so if you are on like barynox you could snipe them and they have really low hp and also always keep your distance if they touch your tame and it isnt ammune to its shock consider your dino dead.
raise this tip so noobies dont lose their level max tame like me:)
Me die
A helpful tip should include more words
HOW TO COUNTER THESE LITTLE SH*TS! First off the archelon which is that huge turtle, the archelon is very strong and immune to the Cnidaria attacks, and is great for farming bio toxin. Second the baryonyx, specifically the spin attack, these shred the cnidarias, the only downside of this is if they shock the baryonyx you get stunned and fall off it, so just hope he’s strong enough to kill them on his own. THIRD, THERE IS NO THIRD 😭😭
I like to swim, bait this troublemakers to the ground, and shoot them with arrows from above ground.
Now how do you like ‘advantage’? You little sh*ts.
Basilosaurus. That’s all I’ve got to say
One time, me and my brother were fighting a alpha megalodon with my two sarco’s, and suddenly, a whole MESS of these things attacked us and dismounted us and killed us all. It was a sad day in ark history. 😭
Up to 15 tentacles grow from each corner of the bell and can reach 10 feet in length. Each tentacle has about 5,000 stinging cells, which are triggered not by touch but by the presence of a chemical on the outer layer of its prey.
play on scorched earth OR extinction to never see this f***
Just grab a shot gun and just blast them out of existence
Kill on sight. VERY NOT FRIENDLY. They will totally obliterate you, your tame, your tames tame, your tames babies... they will even float up out of the water to attack your flyers. Ok that's not real but they're freaking ridiculous.
Only fight them close to the bank. Get them angry and dash to shore. Then, stay out of reach of their electric tentacles and hit with a weapon. Make sure they are close to shore enough so you can stand.
Afterwards, harvest the Cnidaria's potent Biotoxin!
If you are annoyed by cnidira(jellyfishes) tame a basilosoraus or tusso , basilo is easier just kill the mantas surrounding it (using sarco or baryonx , meg) and feed it exceptional kibble or prime meat (raw meat is fine as well) the use the basilo to fight the jellyfishshes since they can't be stunned or shocked , killing jellyfishshes becomes easier with the basilo
Steer clear, my Carno who could 1v1 Rexs got taken out by one of these.

(And more players)
my level 53 (Nilah) and level 61 (Spiny) spinos were actually able to take these guys out with no problem. they saved my mesopithicus (Maverick).
So I’m taking a dip in the sea, see three megalodons and whistle my lvl 215 spino that I obtained at a very early level to attack them. This spino is my prize… the Apple of my Ark eye. Anyway, I see three idiot blue jellies WAY FAR AWAY rise up to attack my spino. My spino is just circling the megs and trying to kill them. Little does it know that an electric death awaits it. I sat there in horror, sure that my beautiful spino would die, but(and it is a huge and relieving but), my spino kills the megs just in time, and comes to shore. I ended up getting some biotoxin at the end of the trip, too! All good. BUT BE CAREFUL THEY WILL KILL YOUR LEVEL 215 SPINO. I’ve lost many tames already. The only reason I’m telling you guys this is because there is hope. Good luck, fellow survivors🫡
