Encountering Tips

How do I kill a leedsichthys? leedsichthys battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I had no idea this monster existed and it ate my boat in two bites while I was riding around north zone near carno island. I saw someone else's raft just demolished and go underwater thought it was like a huge megalodon or something. If you see it get the fug outta there
They are normally passive but if you hit them they come aggressive. They really hate rafts cause if you go near one with a raft it will try and eat it
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!
I had a level 90 Sarco (now 104) and I killed an alpha version (it was stuck by a rock) these guys give so much prime!
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
the leedsichthys I was playing Center in my boat then boom this thing came and one bang my boat
I was coming back from herbivore island in my raft with 4 tames and I saw 3 of these things trying to eat me
My tip if you encounter this beast: Frickin’. Sail . AWAY! ABORT! aBOoOOoOoOrt! IF you can’t get to land cuz it’s to far away,Your done for! Should have never even gone there! THE OCEAN! ITS DANGEROUS- very DANGEROUS!
These big fishies while untameable are useful because you can harvest meat from they're body, however if you have to pass through open water where these big fined snot goblins run amuck use something that flies or that can send these fat fish and chip ripoffs into the grasp of oblivion in a few clicks, and quick tip, dont cross they're path on a raft... i learnt that the hard as did so many others...
On the Island South zone 1 I found on two occasions one doing a head stand on the beach so I killed it and got a good amount of xp
They’re not in Ragnarok! The waters are safer there!
If you're on the center, there seems to be a lot of these guys especially in groups. It almost makes travelling by water pointless. I was on my raft peacefully then out of nowhere my raft snapped in half and I was swimming for my life back to shore.
I was testing out my new meg going to south island, I was comming back to base on it and saw this thimg chillen in da water, I was SHOCKED AND SCARED, I was playing on hardcore for the firtmst time. I did not know they spawn in mobile It scared the poop out of me.
If you have a spino, which I highly recomend, you won't have to worry about a raft being eaten, and they can protect you while you scrape raw prime fish meat off of its body. You get food, and your happy spino does too.
Found an alpha and 3 more of these guys down in the icy waters, my most killed em all FRESH MEAT
They have been removed from Ragnarok. Raft travel is now dull sadly...
I’m pretty sure motor boats attract alphas more commonly.
This guy is a tank not tamable but still they can be very useful trap it by using lots of gates and you have lots on fish for days and make sure he don't kill you he's slow turner but a tank of HP and Damage I guess
Don't use boats he loves them cuz he hungry
Your boat is doomed.
They can attack through metal.
Use a mosausar
These can come as alphas. I did not know this untill I came across it. Destroyed my boat in 2 bites. Where as a standard one destroys a boat in 4 bites
