If encountered and hit by that on your boat, u can escape by making zig zag movements until you reach the shore where it cant hit you. Ive lost som boats for it then used this tecnique and never lost them again, remeber to repair boat after the hit, so u be ready for next encounter. Best way to avoid it is navigate near shores

Thumbs this up if you think the Whale should be removed from the game so Ark will know what a mistake it made. Lost another longtime player for your stupidity Ark! I’m done with it. Every time I get all my resources this leedbitchthys destroys every drop of motivation I have left. Ark your fucking stupid for thinking this thing was a “Good idea” to add to the game.

Here somethings I learned after some encounters with leedsichthys: 1. they bug a lot because they are big, like get easily stuck in the environent. 2. There is the normal and the alpha. 3. They dont seen to be aggresive when you are in the water, with or without a dino, I guess they just dont like rafts because me and my friend lost one to them but they dont attack us, my first though was that they were aggresive or territorial, but it happend that when I got close to one it doenst attack me and I swim around it normally ( I didnt try to take the meat ).

If your sailing and you spot one either hop on a flyer and run, or if your not willing to sacrifice your boat sail to shore as these things do over 3,600 damage to your boat (your boat has 20,000. This thing gave me a mini heart attack when it came after me. He also killed my dodo.

So, we have proof that wildcard hates people who give them money. They make the flyers next to useless, so I start taking my raft to go metal hunting. No big deal right? I have a vault on my "solid" stone raft, all goes well until I clear Herbivore Island. When all of a sudden my raft goes flying out of the water and this massive death whale appears behind me, so much for two weeks work, gathering, building, tearing down and rebuilding my taming/gathering raft. Highly recommended to bring a flyer with you on any raft trip, so you can at least get home.
