Tips & Strategies

They say the leach is rare I found like 500 at the swamp
More Leech Encountering Tips
To get a leech off of you, you need to create a fire and jump on the fire for a few seconds until the leech dies
On the island there’s many outbreaks of “swamp fever”. You get Swamp fever by getting a infected leech stuck on you and TRANSFERRING NO longer Gets RID of SWAMP FEVER.
FOR MOBILE PLAYERS ONLY:
These are in the swamp, they’re just super rare and you rarely will find them. They must be removed via campfire or cooking pot, same thing applies to dinos that aren’t native to the swamp.
FOR MOBILE PLAYERS ONLY:
No latch onto Beelzebufos
I read on the ark wiki that they dont latch onto tames native to the swamp
WATCH OUT THEY GO ON LAND AND WIGGLE
Fire doesn’t work to remove leeches anymore. Go to a tamed animal, open command wheel and click “hold to remove leech.”
These things are the worst. They’ll attack you very sneakily, and I hate having to take time off of my task just to build a campfire to get the stupid thing off. Even though it just takes a little bit of time to get the thing off, it’s still extremely annoying. Luckily I haven’t encountered a diseased leech yet, so there’s that.
