Found one stuck in the shallow water near a beach

Playing single player and paused on my raft to relight my 3 campfires keeping me alive in my hide gear and THIS MOTHER FRICKER JUMPS OUT OF THE WATER AND TACKLES ME IN! I hate the ocean sm it scares me,well the ark ocean.im not trying to get to personal but im not comfortable being in water i can’t see the bottom off.anything could be in there,im dead now and traumatized by that bc I didn’t expect it.

(Ps don’t stop for too long in the water they have no chill)

Warning: this giant fish whale attacked my wooden raft on mobile. I thought they didn't do that on mobile. Didn't break the boat because I was close to shallow water (this thing is probably bigger than a megalodon, idk) and did not attack me when I went down for another look. I wouldn't risk getting too close though, just in case.

I heard that you can kill! If you have a mount that can swim you are lucky for Leedsycthys meat!

You can get prime fish meat from tapping with something. It just happens… rarely.

So i got two explorer notes in ark mobile and found one of these things pinned between two large rocks close enough to shore where i could kill it safely, and killing this thing with two explorer notes gave me 65+ levels no joke..

HOW TO ESCAPE

If you see one of these trying to get somewhere on a raft your main choice to escape is to rush to the nearest shore. I did that when I was a noob and nearly lost my entire raft to it.

HOW TO KILL

There are multiple things to do to trying to kill it here are your option

1. Get something stronger like a mosasaur so you could kill it

2. Get a metal raft and a ranged weapon since the Leedsichtyhs van only break wood making it nearly impenetrable.

3. The last thing you can do is to get your strongest underwater weapon and attack it at full might.

They don’t eat rafts on mobile. Try it if you don’t believe me

Trap one close to your base or next to your base and boom! Infinite meat!!!! Use behemoth gateways or structure's that they can't break. That's all thx.

Yeah... you know the Titanic? Well, it wasn't actually an iceberg. You want tips when on a raft? Hope you're close to land when you find it, or have a strong water tame with you.

These things are great if you want to get a LOT of raw prime fish meat. They give 50 per scrape. They are found mainly around herbivore island! If you can’t find any go on a giant murder spree and kill all the feesh in the water, one will spawn eventually! They are passive and won’t attack (unless you attack them first) but they WILL eat your boats. Just swim up to them with a dino on mobile and tap them to scrape off their meat (you can scrape every 10 minutes). I recommend trapping them for easier access.

To tame give it your boat so abandon ship

The alpha is same as normal just white and bigger I'm on mobile the first one I saw 100x bigger than a megalodon was white and the next one I saw was at herb island and it was 30x bigger than megalodon also on mobile they don't have to much a taste for raft and it's hotbox is at its anus you can scrape fish meat off normals and prime fish off alphas very useful untameable giant

If you use the ForceTame command you can actually tame the leedsichthys and its VERY powerful

Actually leedsichthys is tameable but this is only in PC. To tame it in PC, come near it, then press tab then type "cheat forcetame" near the leedsichthys, make sure it does not get away, and done! its tamed and you can still scrape prime fish meat from it and you can ride it!

(This can only be done in non-mobile devices).

(You cannot do this in mobile)

these thing might deadly to deal with, however in mobile they can't deal damage to player and tame (except ralf).

They have some in the ocean next to the desert in lost island.

Nearly broke my raft and broke the box that had 400+ Metal in it my tribe mate had to try swim to a island.

Lesson: Don’t go anywhere near these whales
