What is a leedsichthys used for? leedsichthys battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It would be AWESOME if we could tame this beast. We can scrape food off of it, it has more base health than a Mosasaurus and can break everything up to and including metal. I say it should have a platform saddle, it would be the perfect base since as I already mentioned WE CAN SCRAPE FOOD OFF OF IT! So if you are at sea and become low on food, scrape off the fish meat and have a feast. This would be perfect for pvp and in all honesty, great for singleplayer and pve as well. Surely I am not the only one who would want this?
Up = Agree.
Down = Disagree.
Okay, um their is a person here stating there is no alpha version of this But actually there is! And if your traveling with a raft it's recommended to throw honey at them to stop them, and you can scrape some meat from it, very useful if you ask me, I recommend trapping it for infinite fish meat but there's a cool down from scaping meat from it, hope this helps☺️

There is an alpha and normal. They are always level 1 and have 4400 health alpha or normal. Alphas will 1 shot wooden rafts and normals 2 shot wooden rafts. You can scrape meat off its sides. Lots spawn around herb island but they do spawn around the whole island. They seem fairly common as I found 6 on one side of the map. 3 alphas 3 normals. (One of the alphas took my raft from me.) they are untamable and if you are on a mount do little damage to it so they are easy to kill if you are not on a raft. Others say you can throw honey off your boat and it will stop attacking. I have never tried this but it likely works.
If your raft gets hit once, stop it right away. 50% chance it won't hit it a second time and you might just save your raft, simply wait for it to go away then sail to shallow waters asap. You cannot outrun it with a raft and our only takes 2 strikes to sink a full health raft.
Even though we can’t tame this monster, it can help in a very easy way.
1. Find one near herbivore island.
2. Lead it over to the cove.
3. Use behemoth gates to trap it in the cove.
4. Build a base or outpost at the shore full of refrigirators, and occasionally scrape off meat.
5. Store all this meat in the outposts and use it for whatever!
Like if it worked!
