Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a leedsichthys? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a leedsichthys.
So legitimately honey pacifies this whale. If you have a raft base or something and you have honey to spare you can throw honey into the water and it will stop attacking you. Check the wiki if you don’t believe me. Make sure other people see this
So you trap it. You say hi. You grab your knife. You tear its flesh off while it's still awake and alive. Sounds like fun...
TIPP: How to trap a Leedsichthy (the giant whale)
In this tutorial I will Show you how to easily trap a Leedsichthy.
Before I start with the tutorial i want to say that there are 2 ways to trap him. The 1st way is that you build a giant square inside the water where he can fit in and the 2nd war is that you leed him inside the "river" of the Red Obelisk and close both entrys to the river. Just follow those steps:
1) surch for a Leedsichthy and remember where he is (they often spawn near Herbivore Island)
2) Go to the Bottom of the ocean and surch for a Ammonite. When you find one let him bite you.
3) go to the leedsichthy and lead him inside your giant square or the river of the Red obelisk and close up all entrys.
4) kill all fishes except the Leedsichthy
5) Enjoy scrabing of his prime fish meat (he wont get aggro as long as you dont hit him)
I trapped mine inside the River of the Obelisk

Destroyed water travel by boat and flying in the air in 1 single patch. Good job Wildcard
They should make it that once you kill the alpha you can tame them when you where the hat
In the Ark files the creature has a tame animation and a saddle so I see this massive whale to be tameable in the future!
Which would be an amazing pvp tame cause it can just wreck rafts….
Also up if you think this should get a platform saddle as well!
If you encounter this creature on a boat,ABANDON SHIP
Prime meat can be harvested from this without killing it
I wish this thing is tameable lol
Oh perfect, now I have to move back to the land again before my raft base is eaten.
Scream like a girl when its attacking you your going to lose your ship anyway
The leedsichthys is the one of the largest sea creatures out there and takes pride in destroying or damaging player created rafts. However the leedsichthys can also be interacted with and used as a fish meat farm as it overtime generates fish meat that can be collected on the outside of its body, therefore making it useful to keep them in a water pen if tribes wish to store fish meat. If a albino leedsichthys is found and killed the player that killed the beast will revive item skins.
The devs should make this timetable but nerf it once tamed like a giga and they can carry stuff in there mouths
When i was going to herbivore Island i ran into one alpha and i panic and closed out of the game
Interestingly, the Leedsichthys in the dev kit had a knock out animation with a knocked out eating animation. There was also a successful tame animation and a failed tame animation. This strongly implies that the Leedsichthys was tameable at first and explains why when forcetamed, it can be ridden.
People should be able to tame them because that would be so op on pvp when they are on there raft and you have a scuba tank on and you chomp them>:]
These need to be tamable just imagine riding this and wrecking everything in your path
Ask ark to make it tamible.
If you need meat, find one and get close to it and press Y which’ll scrap his meat off of it. IT HAS A LOT OF MEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My entire life was on my raft. It came out of nowhere. The only reason I made it to shallow water, is because I went in a tight circle around it and it missed one of its attacks. That one extra attack would've destroyed everything and sent me back to square one. Do what I did but better and you will also survive.
