If you have scuba equipped the leach will come off in a few seconds I think it has to be a full set
Can’t use a campfire to get off go to a Dino and hold whatever your consoles menu button to get behaviour and stuff and it will be there
Don't try to fight them in melee use guns or dinos
Slap your tame with a torch to clear its leeches
It will kill you if you do not jump on fire until it dies
Just go up to a dino go to the dinos menu and select the “remove leech” option no need for a fire it will remove any from your dino and yourself
If u want it's chitin get a beelzebufo and ride him use toungue to toungue around for the bloody grins in the green bits of all good local swamps it's teeming with them
Another way to attract them? Get ur bird (pref snow owl bc of night vision) and hover above the water (same area from all good local swamps) see them come
Leeches b like: Hooman! Get ur teeth ready folks bc it's feeding time! Anom Nom Nom
For ps4 jumping on a fire does not work to get leech off. I had to walk up to a tame to remove it.
If anybody has seen a leech on mobile plz reply you can write @hrishi to your tip
The leech has fins; innacurrate!!!
They are super annoying, best way to get rid of them?
Die
For me when I was trying to rescue my dinos from redwood and i went with my Parasaur and i got attacked by these guys so i went home and the leech was on my screen instead of on the Parasaur so i called my cousin but he was no help(sorry if you read this lucas)and it turned out when i removed the leech from the Parasaur it was gone from my screen so I think when there is a leech on your screen but theres one on your dino then I think you just remove the leech from your dino and it will probably be gone from your screen hope this helps
On the mobile version use a fire or cooking pot to remove the leech... on Console and PC versions the fire method doesn’t work, nearly burnt myself to death. Just go to a tame and toggle “remove leech”. If you have multiple leeches stuck to you, this will need to be done multiple times over.
Disgusting little
maggots dig in u kills u slowly nothing u can do about it Except Put on some lesser
Antidote
Guys if your luck enough you can get leech blood from ad gifts and even 2 lesser antitodes and if you want to preserve the leech blood forever just bait it on a fishing rod. You cant creat multiple and store the blood on the fishingrods. Dont worry you can detach it from the rods when you need em.
Leech can not leech sarco.and fire works on mobile
Why is it in Category tameable?
If on mobile there should be a hand icon if your tame is leeched press it to remove said leech
Just stand back and kill them with on a raptor...
