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

Fire doesn’t work to remove leeches anymore. Go to a tamed animal, open command wheel and click “hold to remove leech.”

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.

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♡

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.

Rode a thyla in swamp. I got swamp fever and couldn't ride my tame

If there is hole, there is a goal

Guys according to the ark wiki leeches don’t latch onto swamp-native tames such as

Sarco

Kapro

I think paracer

Probably Titanboa

And I don’t know anything else it wont latch onto

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.

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.

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.

If the leech is not coming off, check for the debuff. There is a visual glitch.

Hovering over swamp with an Argentavis will lure leeches out and will form underneath you. Once this happens, attack with Argentavis for easy leech blood.

Make a fire then jump on it if it attacks you

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
