Encountering Tips

How do I kill a leedsichthys? leedsichthys battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I always get spooked when one of these render in then remember their neutral so they wont attack me.
Treat them like whales, they didn't attack me or my Anky, just my raft. Careful though Megas arnt too far from them.
Can't even damage thatch structures yet they can just chew through war rafts. No raft is safe from this thing...
Jaws is on the new map!?! So... no boats allowed on the new map!
We’ve actually never encountered one at herbivore island. We thought we were safe on the raft because nothing ever happened, but then we went to get oil in the colder region...we were at the island up to the left when we barely got away from it. Damn thing followed us forever too.
When your on a ichy it won’t do anything so if u get off your ichy and get some meat and get on your ichy you can easily get away from anything btw...
U can trap the leedsicthys by using a couple on stone gateframes and lead it with a raft then when it eats the raft (before or after) u just slam the final gateframe(s) and there u go, a trapped leedsichys (make sure u arent the only one doing this and also if it despawns, do it again)
Ya har fellow sailers, rumors say there is a white leedsichthys somewhere, of course thoses are rumors but I heard many ships were sunk by this whale , so be carefull while sailing and alway bring weapons with you, this is probably the most dangerous beast of the ocean.
I was swimming to Herbivore Island on the island and a alpha spawned in the little cove area
Do these guys destroy rafts on mobile? Nothing has ever happened to me
They can be stunned by Baryonyx spin attacks.
If you dont want your boat snapped take a tribe mate with a second boat and make him go first
Just don't go there. I'd rather face off 3 agro Gigas.
Me and my dodo were just going back home after a vacation and we were about 2 minutes away when I herd the battle music and the my raft was hit so booked it back home and had a panic attack. SAY AWAY FROM THE OCEAN AT ALL COST(trust me you will live longer and happier if you stay away from the ocean)(in ark not in reality though)
I usually don’t see them but if I do I usually stop my boat and it doesn’t hit it but if it does it just attacks the boat usually also for those retards who say this is a whale ITS A BLOODY FISH
While sailing from one island to another. One of these attacked the raft. The second attack it tried to push the raft up from the bottom and stopped the raft for two seconds. Luckily it was a short distance so I made it safe. However the raft took damage. My encounter was in a lagoon area not open waters. Also after it appeared Megaladons also appeared in the area. In which this creature and megaldons were not there before. Possibility that megaldons spawn in around this creature as a food source.
When I got attack my tribemate went flying so if you bring animals the might try to kill it/suggested a raft or moaterboat but they don't attack you often
If you encounter these while on a boat get to the nearest patch of shallow water. If there's no shallow water nearby then head to land and make sharp turns if you can to avoid being killed. Won't 100% work but you can try
These things are evil me and a couple of the boys were on a trip to the dead island on our raft house and when we drove by herbavore island (we live by the red tower) and this thing came out of nowhere and destroyed our boat in 1 minute and we lost everything and almost lost all the animals we had, but we lost our penguin.. Rip penguini
If you have honey through it in the water. It will distract them and you can get your boat to safety.
