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

For those of you who think leeches aren’t in mobile you can find them in swamps I have seen three they are in the water you can see them going thru the ground if you get one stuck to you just build a campfire and stand on it!

This is for anyone who doesn't know how to get a leech off on ark, all you got to do is light a campfire and stand on it, then it comes off. Really simple.

If they stick to your tames, you can just grab them in mobile. It makes them disappear. They also spawn under the waterfall in the writhered swamps.

If it’s on you and you have not a lot of health idk what to do

But if you have a lot of health then create a fire and jump on it and BURN THE LEECH.

If you find one and it gives a sickness DONT SOREAD IT make a lesser antidote just kill it get the blood get rare flowers and mushrooms if you spread it your a real douche. And you’ll get targeted on PVP

I'm used to them just like getting on my body and just going into fire, but anyways I went out to look for something to tame in the swamp and I actually saw one like in the water and not on anything ( I was on my imprinted Baryonyx ) and I just turned into a cat and…

If you need chitin or silca pearls for yuty saddle then just grab spino and go to the swamp on the island and just spam attack while walking. Very effective, gets me more spino saddles

Leeches make a very unique sound when swimming.

Once you learn to hear it, you can find leeches by stopping and listening for their approach

These guys are on mobile, one time I was killing stuff with my Spino in the swamp and it said "your Spino lvl 291 killed Leech lvl 30." Didn't actually see the sucker (literally) tho

To if your having your first leach and playing online or 2player get another player to hit you with a torch , it will remove it
