TIPP: How to trap a Leedsichthy (the giant whale)
In this tutorial I will show you how to easily trap a Leedsichthy.
Before I start with the tutorial i want to say that there are 2 ways to trap him. The 1st way is that you build a giant square inside the water where he can fit in and the 2nd way is that you leed him inside the "river" of the Red Obelisk and close both entrys to the river.
Just follow those steps:
1) surch for a Leedsichthy and remember where he is (they often spawn near Herbivore Island I think but i'm not sure)
2) Go to the Bottom of the ocean and surch for a Ammonite. When you find one let him bite you.
3) go to the leedsichthy and lead him inside your giant square or the river of the Red obelisk and close up all entrys.
4) kill all fishes except the Leedsichthy
5) Enjoy scrabing of his prime fish meat (he wont get aggro as long as you dont hit him)
It really works well! I trapped mine inside the River of the Obelisk

More Leedsichthys Utility Tips
It would be AWESOME if we could tame this beast. We can scrape food off of it, it has more base health than a Mosasaurus and can break everything up to and including metal. I say it should have a platform saddle, it would be the perfect base since as I already mentioned WE CAN SCRAPE FOOD OFF OF IT! So if you are at sea and become low on food, scrape off the fish meat and have a feast. This would be perfect for pvp and in all honesty, great for singleplayer and pve as well. Surely I am not the only one who would want this?
Up = Agree.
Down = Disagree.
IMPORTANT!
There is an interesting Fact about Leedsichthys they can destroy everything zp to metal walls but not Adobe walls (Cement walls). So if you wanna trap them use Adobe Walls!

To the person who said "we should have a platform saddle and just scrape food off it and have a feast!"
Dude, and u wonder why they hate rafts...
Despite it's dossier stating that it is not tamable it has a saddle design in the ARK Files.
Imagine this: leedsichthys tameable and rideable. They can harvest metal and oil. They had a platform saddle. They could swallow fish hole and carry them around alive. WELL THEY ARENT TAMABLE! They would be op as a tame.
Even though we canβt tame this monster, it can help in a very easy way.
1. Find one near herbivore island.
2. Lead it over to the cove.
3. Use behemoth gates to trap it in the cove.
4. Build a base or outpost at the shore full of refrigirators, and occasionally scrape off meat.
5. Store all this meat in the outposts and use it for whatever!
Like if it worked!
Dont. Kill. It.
Its very useful for taming aquatic dinos, you can get prime and normal fish meat from these big bois, i have one next to my base and i named him "Ash" :>

They dont attack rafts on mobile,
For PC or console players use a motorboat to outrun a normal leed
If near the shore, can be used to get some prime fish to help a tame or meat to spoil in early game. Can be quite helpful
Fun fact: They give Prime FISH meat. Not normal prime meat.
