Utility Tips
What is a eurypterid used for? eurypterid battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Great for farming Black Pearls for end game items such as the Tek Replicator, but they are very hard to find underwater so finding them can be a challenge. If you’re looking for these creatures I’d recommend scuba gear and high level water dinos just in case you run into a situation with a aggressive water dinos (Mosas, Plesis, Megladons, Squids, and etc.) One more tip, don’t let the Eurypterid attack, because of their poisonous attacks that can knock you out using a crossbow to kill them from a range is highly suggested.
Using a Bronto, wade into the water and let them come to you. The swipe of the tail can kill multiple at a time, allowing you to hop off and harvest them with your metal pick for sweet sweet black pearls. Within a few minutes, I had ~500 chitin and just under 20 black pearls. This works best in Viking Bay 3 on Ragnarok.
