How do I kill a nameless? nameless battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
You can still find them near the fertile lake in the far back of the cavern, so watch out
Turns out theyre just early survivors that got severely mutated
Be very, very careful when venturing in their territory, for if to many spawn you will be completely overwhelmed. If you have a team of tek tier players you could farm the big orange ones and get their venom ( if you can get down and back up alive)
WARNING: Never use rock drakes against them!!!!

Nameless are carryable by karkinos. If you're on one and don't have a shine pet you can just pick em up with the crab and toss em off a cliff
Once I got cornered by 4 nameless on foot
One was a level 180
Everyone saying that nameless are element infected humans: they're not, nameless are the smaller non-royal reapers, I can prove this with this: the original name for a reaper was "nameless queen"
I have yet to encounter, I am starting to doubt my senses... I feel as if I am just very lucky... hopefully not, because I really do not want to see any in my entire life.
Unless you’re on foot, they shouldn’t be a threat. A decent level ravager can absolutely smoke these fools, as long as you have a light pet(which you should).
Nameless tend to be most annoying when your trying to get a rock drake egg. Best way to stop them is to bring a couple of strong tames and a charge light source
They come out of the ground in groups and when exposed to bulldog light they catch fire and burrow back into the ground.
Sometimes they can be damaged if they burrow into a protruding boulder.
It seems like they spawn more nameless whenever they unearth themselves. They are easiest when you have enough dps to kill them before they burrow. Attack them with friends if possible.
Make sure if you have a blue base that you have lots of light in it otherwise they will spawn in your base :/...to kill them all you need is a light pet and something strong like a drake, crab, reaper, spino, mega ect. Make sure your light pet is turned off so they spawn and then run around making more spawn then turn your light pet on and go ham...this is an effective way to get nameless venom as light will nerf them a lot and stop them from spawning :) enjoy.
When a single nameless comes you could kill it out or run. When a pack comes don't wait, instead RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!
Appear in the blue and red areas and the surface. Normally they don’t spawn onto you just because you have no charge, they seem to spawn around like normal dinos and are drawn out when you have no charge. This means you CAN clear areas of them for a while at least if you kill them before too many spawn from alphas. Have a light pet with you but have it off to draw them out, then when they emerge turn it on and use a strong mount to kill them off with ease, preferrably the crab. They also seem to take crush damage from big dinos walking over them even when they’re underground (though this may have been fixed). Plant Z fruit can force them underground which could save you in a pinch.
They cannot get through a Tek shield
Only on aberration I wish they were on the island
If you want to be able to rip through their armor and massacre them easily for nameless venom, use basilisks, their poison spit rips right through their armour and can kill them too depending on how high the basilisks damage is. Use these against them
Try rockets if you see these up door if it works (guy with pterodactyl)
When going in to the radioactive caves, make sure to carry a Bulbdog, or just anything that emits light, to keep the Nameless away.
What I do to avoid these is I have a light pet on my shoulder and a megalo carrying another one, and turn one on/one off.
If you want to get venom without using a tame, use the free tek suit you get from genesis 2 and jump into the purple river to charge it (I believe you need the tek suit unlocked for it to work). Then get nameless to spawn and lure them into the liquid, hover above them and repeatedly force punch them without risk of taking damage
