Encountering Tips

How do I kill a eurypterid? eurypterid battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They deal a great amount of Torpor
If it's on land you're dead especially since they are sneaky fucks.
The scorpions of the sea. I if stung, quicky swim straight up, as the cannot leave the bottom of the sea. An itchy or a megalodon can easily deal with large swarms. In ragnarok, they can be found in viking bay and can be farmed for meat, chitin, black pearls and silica pearls.
First encountered these guys on Ragnarok, just use a pike or crossbow and swim up, they are unable to do so and you should be able to hit them without concern. However, watch out for other creatures that may attack you. I don’t think they can be tamed, but i wouldn’t know. They can knock you out so steer clear of their face.
very good for gathering quick black pearls but be careful because they deal torpor to you and spawn in packs
very frightening when they show up on land instead of ocean floor and start floating towards you
Good for harvesting black pearls, but can 1 shot your torpor bar. Your best bet is to climb onto a rock near the edge of a bay or ocean and try to kill it (or tranq it) from there. On Ragnarok Viking Bay is a popular spot for them. If hit by one when playing with modded health you will be there for a while. It does around 7 damage each time.
One hit from this is equivalent to 3 randy orton RKO’S
Only found in very deep waters. They are like sea scorpions, be careful though, their sting causes torpor damage.
Drops leech blood, not for sure if it can give you swamp fever like the leeches or any other virus though
There’s a escape just swim away there just a medium pile of chititn
If you see one of these, run just run
They will knock you out in a bite and keep biting you till you die
Stay away unless you want... THE CLAMPS!!!
It does topor damage but it’s easy to kill if you keep your distance
These are aggressive and can move faster than you while backpedaling, the will tranquilize you but a few arrow shots to the dome will have em erased
Try and shoot them from a distance so they don’t knock you out (learned that the hard way) and drown
Waste of time or health killing these for resources, just find trilobites
They drop black pearls and they will knock you out if they hit you... best option is to draw them out of water and kill them with a cross bow
These suckers are the troodons of the sea. Get hit by one of these and your finished. Watch out in ragnorak in Viking Bay Area because it is infested with them. And devs if your going to put a animal ment to live at the bottom of the ocean on the surface, Give Them a land animation!
Underwater scorpion look-a-likes. They deal tons of topor when you get hit by them. They can be found in Viking Bay (Ragnarok)
