How do I kill a leech? leech battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Can’t you use these guys for fishing 🎣? They
look cool 😎 so I don’t use them for fishing.
If you get a leach stuck on you ask a friend to peel it off, watch out friends you might get a leach!
Run...run as fast as you can....
um.. just use a refining thing or a campfire to get it off of you 😋
And if that doesnt work..
Pray
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.
They stay on your screen for a long time
If you go to scorched it instantly gets rid of swamp fever for you. I’m not sure about anywhere else.
Big brown ones have swamp disease.

FOR MOBILE ONLY:
These are not as rare as you think. Every other I get yoinked off a mount by a kapro I end up running into at least one. That being said I don't get yoinked off mounts often but when I do in the swamp I find a leech. After puttering around on my pelagornis I managed to find enough to get 30ish leech blood.
I would recommend to stay away from the Lil suckers because some of them have a dissese if you want to cure it drink a lesser antidote (lv 12)
Walk up to tame and have it remove the leech
If you find a leech just jump on a campfire but if it’s a buffed sever hope you get lucky and some how survive
i got one on myself, heheh.
a helpful tip should include more words
On moblie u can jump on a fire dont know y people say it dont work
The reason I don't go into the swamp...
I was riding my fastest Dino through the swamp because I was searching for boa eggs and prime meat. I saw these things coming for me. I know how to get leeches off but oh hell no I am not in a mood to get leeches on my gallimimus so I shot them so many times but they didn’t die 🤷
Don't try to fight them in melee use guns or dinos
I was playing with my friend and she wanted to see a leech on her screen fortunately there were 2 so she went to get them on her and they appeared on MY screen but the debuff went to her so if a leech is on someone else while you are playing split screen and the leech is on your screen,the person who has the debuff needs to jump in the fire not the person with the leech on their screen hope this helps
Slap your tame with a torch to clear its leeches
Believe it or not, but in my whole year of playing ark mobile, I haven’t found a single leech.
