ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

I just had a leech stuck on the middle of my screen. I tried the campfire thing, almost died but the leech stayed. Checked my dinos, one had the option to remove leech on the radial. Removed it but still had the leech on my screen. Finally went around hitting my dinos with a torch and that worked. One had a leech but wasn’t giving the radial option. Almost burned myself to death for nothing.
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.
No latch onto Beelzebufos
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:
I read on the ark wiki that they dont latch onto tames native to the swamp
WATCH OUT THEY GO ON LAND AND WIGGLE
The yutyrannus, not the rex, is your best friend for leech hunting. The leech is vulnerable to the fear roar, and the debuff reveals their location. This makes hunting them a simple errand. You'll collect so much leech blood you could start a swamp fever clinic.
Fire doesn’t work to remove leeches anymore. Go to a tamed animal, open command wheel and click “hold to remove leech.”
Hi guys i read on google that if there is a leech already hanging from your body you need a fire or cooking pot to remove ... hope this helps - T♡
I found a bunch of leeches in the swamp cave and got a bunch of things like leech blood.
