How do I kill a electrophorus? electrophorus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
THEY FLEE WHEN ATTACKED, JUST LIKE ANGLERS. IF YOUR RIDE GETS SHOCKED, PULL OUT YOUR CROSSBOW, SWIM AWAY FROM YOUR RIDE AND SHOOT THEM, AND ONE BY ONE, THEY WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE.
You know that level 300 mosasaur you have. He is now just a decoration for your base.
Picture a gang of agile monkeys armed with tasers, fast deadly and OP. Sneakier too
If you see a swarm of them, run. They have pack bonus and will constantly shock you or your mount and knock you mount out. They will feed on your dreams!
Basilos can't be stunned by this.
Umm.. just don’t eat the bio toxin while doing this I tried and ate it twice. Thankfully I went to shore before a fainted
In asa they now give you diminished returns which when after attacking you with their electric nonsense you have about 20 secs where you are safe from being stunned
But you aren’t safe from the damage that it does rip Dave the dolphin
RUN if you see one earlygame, especially on genesis as there will always be more lurking around.
They are a real shocker when you. First meet them
It does not run away when you shoot it with a crossbow
IT ISNT WORTH IT TO TAME THESE. Let me explain…
I tamed at least 3 of them and they all died bc things lik mantas and mega came to kill them… they last for a short period of time…
Shock actually damages stone structures
I found one of these and sudenly there were a lot of them around me... They just melted my Megalodon in a second and there was nothing I could do because of the electric shocks!
I advise you, If you arent well geared up and with a Basilo (which is immune to the shocks) please just try to leave this beasts alone, DONT TRY TO FIGHT THEM UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
Just use a bary to stun them and they aren’t a problem.
Rest in peace mate. You had a good run. Hope you didn't have any tames with you.
The melee damage is bad but the shock can be powerful.
The more eels the more powerful the shock.
These things ruin the ocean. Cant use any water tames besides basilos now. Its just dumb how OP they are.
They will glow in the dark and change colors.
They will stay at the surface at night.
These guys HATE mantas. Like rivals
Consider them like jellyfish but ranged. Were responsible for killing my Icthy in the west water cave on the island. RIP Seabird
