How do I kill a leech? leech battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Enjoy your swamp fever! I’ve been on servers where the entirety of the player base was infected somehow and non of them ever spawn to get leech blood
They suck to get on you fight from long range
If you get leached, don't freak out, worst possible scenario from getting leached is that you freak out, run to your base, use all of your Stam and stop walking and you get attacked by something (baryonyx, sarco, kapro, titanboa, ect.) Or that you somehow forget that it stuck to your face and realize it who knows how long later (10, 20 minutes maybe no clue) when in red print, "you have died." These are definitely not something to worry about too much, but try to get it off the first chance you get.
To the post that said they weren’t sure if swamp fever exists in mobile, it does. I’ve gotten it on mobile. Also I was killing animals in the swamp with my dire wolf and it said killed infected leech in the kill feed.
I stepped into the swamp for 2 seconds. Also got 2 leeches.
Yay the leech page is expanding
dont touch the red ones. red = no
So the people who say leech’s are rare in mobile is right and wrong because yes it is still rare to find but I have found them FOUR TIMES but I have never encountered a diseased one and I hope I don’t.
PS: I can only play mobile. Oh and plz can someone tell me how to paint tamed dinos. Plz tell me in dodo section. Ok have a nice day y’all and bye

Can somebody tell me pls how to get leech's off of your tame on mobile
I forgot to pull off this from my best mount and she died ......
They are rare but don’t give up you will find one!!!
If leeches stick to u you’ll need fire campfire or torch both do, if you get it on a tame just pull it off
Just a helping hand beware when you drink water on the island there is a small chance to get it if your fortitude is low.i learned the hard way.
If you have a freind you can smack each other with a torch
WARNING: on mobile they do stick to swamp original creatures so if you go passing by make sure to bring 3 lesser antidotes in case of diseased leech one for you one for your tame and the third in case one spoils
On mobile just click the hand button to get it off game creatures
I had a leech stuck on me and I couldn’t get it off even using fire from a cooking pot, campfire or a forge.
These are so annoying I try starting on any map there is always someone running around spreading swamp fever
If you have a leech attached to your tame on mobile, there should be a grab button when you look at the tame. Press that button and the leech will basically just disappear.
To Get rid of it you have stand on top of a lit camp fire and it will fall off and die but you will not see the corpse
