Encountering Tips

How do I kill a leedsichthys? leedsichthys encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
They’re not in Ragnarok! The waters are safer there!
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.
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
Fun facts:leedsicthys is NOT a whale, it is the largest bony fish that has every existed
Got attacked by an alpha whilst going to herbivore island DO NOT STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOAT when something like this happens or you’ll get 1 shot along which your raft. IT DID 10000 DAMAGE
Everyone says they’re aggressive, but they are really not. I don’t care if you down this, but it’s the truth. Well, they did say that they were on boats, so maybe they just attack boats
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.
the leedsichthys I was playing Center in my boat then boom this thing came and one bang my boat
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!
Will destroy your prized northern expedition raft and leave you to freeze to death in open water... or a meggy will find and munch you
They have been removed from Ragnarok. Raft travel is now dull sadly...
This is a passive aggressive creature so it doesn't attack you unless you are on a boat or you attack it and i think on super rare occasions it attacks you when you scrape meat (i dont actually know about that) they only spawn in open water but can be lured into shallows these things are not able to be tamed unless you have the cheat key or a special mod
They spawn mostly at herbivore island (bottom right of the island) and they only attack rafts/motorboats so be careful you can also scrape meat off of them for food which is pog
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
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...
