How do I kill a leedsichthys? leedsichthys battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
The Leedsichthys can be found in Genesis in the ocean biome, and being the noob I am, I tried to tame it.
You can throw honey at it to stop it from chasing your boat
Why even have boats in the game? This dangthing will murder every boat it sees
Watch out for the alpha variant of this it can 2 shot your wooden raft at full health... As I found out the hard way on the way back to my base on herbi island 😭
please don't ever go into a open body of water if you want to preserve your rafts life and work.
Warning do NOT ride raft near them
When you dont have a motorboat dont drive above deep water. When you have a motorboat they mostly wont attack you. I hope that helps you.
Legend says that some guys on a raft killed it's pet rabbit, so the leedsichthys is now on a quest to destroy all rafts. It has destroyed so many rafts that some call it...
The raft slayer.
But all you really need to do is throw honey in the sea.
PLANT SPECIES X!!!! Slows them right down. Put one on the back of your raft and not even the alpha can get you unless it comes from straight under. Add a ballista and a captain hat as well for added effect.
There heads have a damage resistance so aim for the body
Leed-sich-thys. Largest creature known to man. 3 times the size of a whale shark.. but it's a damn fish.
If your in a raft or a motorboat be sure to have a long range weapon beacause they can break your boat with a phew swipes
If you are on a raft sailing the seas and encounter one of these, sail to the closest piece of land as quick as possible, (GG for u if it’s an alpha one). If on a motorboat, do the same thing! You might be able to out run it but if it’s an alpha, it would be better to take a little damage and spare yourself the hard work of making another one.
All my hard work just turned to fish food
In real life the leedsichthys was almost 100% a filter feeder. If we get an update saying it’s then tamable, there should me no way to force feed it and it can only eat by swimming with its mouth open.
The Alpha leed is on the island in the far north west swimming around the icebergs. Give you one guess how I found that out. P.S. Its albino so its really cool for a few seconds.
Found one at the top left corner bellow the ice berg while taming a dunky
For those who said he won’t attack you at all well it actually did attack and hunt me and my itchy after I dismounted couple meters away from it so cut the cap about this thing being herbivore it ain’t lmao I was able to get its meat after killings the megs around it first with my itchy then attacking it and getting a lot of fish prime meat
One day I went on a trip to herbivore island to get some metal I got a few storage boxes full on my raft and some in my invent. I set of home when one of these swallowed my raft, I lost all my metal and was left encumbered in the sea
If you sail into one's domain, it will become angered and unleash a mighty bite to devour your ship before swimming back to the abyss from whence it came. However these mighty lords of the sea will forgive trespassers if they throw a jar of honey into the sea for the great beast to devour, the mighty leviathans are too titanic and wilfull for even the greatest of sailers to bring to heel, however if ever one can find one and get to it the titanic fish will gift them with the succulent and delicious meat that lead to this noble species being hunted close to extinction. And if one is brave enough too sail a boat into the kingdom of the mighty albino alpha they will be able to grapple onto it's huge fin and partake the ancient ritual of Alpha leedsicthys surfing, as well as temporarily gaining an excellent platform for hunting the deadly megalodon! Fear these beasts of the deep but also revere them, for they embody the sea, they are both stunningly beautiful, and cruel and terrifying!
