Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Leech in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Fill your enemies base with leeches 😂😂😂😂😂😂 then listen to the screams I’ve done it

It will be the highlight of you life but unclaim them first when there on aggressive so they can’t trace it back to you LOL

They have a chance to give you swamy sickness if bit. Take a large land Dino like an Allo or Rex and just bite spam water to gather leech blood.

When collecting leech blood I find it easiest to use a rex and walk through the swamp chomping everything from trees to water soon enough you will start killing leaches and harvesting them , found this out when tring to clear a path through the swamp on a meat run

If a leach is on one of your TAMES it will appear on your screen as though it's on you.

Walk up to your tame and hit Triangle(PS4 obvs) and it'll get rid.

Fire DOES still work on mobile (i literally just tried it when a leech was stuck on my chest)

i read that fire didn’t work and read that it sometimes does but i thought let me just try and it WORKED!

just make sure u have some fire pit built next to u on the swamp next…

Just so you know, you can only tame it with a fish basket, so if you filter for the island (or other non abberation maps) and tameables, it will still show probably because of transferring but yeah

I tamed one and named it Clingy Clive... my sister got one and named it Grabby Geraldine. I almost got another and called it Dontcallmeoneofyourterriblenames.

These are annoying as f. To kill these stupid things just stand in a fire for a second if u don’t the leech will suck your blood until u die

You can have a max of 4 leeches latched onto you, if another leech tries to latch onto you then it will just do melee attacks until you die. Having 4 leeches on your body will also make your health drain at 2 hp per second.

Pretty unknown fact: Diseased leeches will spawn with higher health than a normal leech, and move faster than a normal leech. Also yes they do drop way more leech blood than a normal leech.
