Encountering Tips

How do I kill a phiomia? phiomia battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
First ever time I played ark, I chased one of these with my bare fists for 3 days (in ark). Got chased by pteranodons for thinking stealing their eggs was a good idea, got brutally beaten up by piranhas, chased by sarcos. Finally, after the poop machine ran into a rock, I knocked it out and tamed it. I then got a saddle and rode all the way across the map. We dodged every obstacle life faced together. Until a rex decided my purple guy (that’s what I named him) was a tasty snack, so I quit the game and started a new save. now I have a phioma eating rex- life’s weird….
These dudes hang out near the Beaches on herbivore island(Sometimes Mate boosted) so people can see ;)
This creature is passive, but when hit it will run, and it will be able to outrun you unless trapped. Make sure to have a bola handy if you want to tame!
Its easy if your lvl12 and got the bola just get it with the bola and nock it out and then give it berys
I 100% guarantee you will find one getting chased in the swamps by a kapro, sarco or snake.
Tried to bola one and a trike came out of nowhere and killed me. If it touches my tames while I’m gone I will slaughter it with my bare hands
Sometimes i forget that these things exist
These are probably the most powerful creatures in the game.... watch out
These things will drop lots of meat. the best way to kill them is to pick them up with your argentavis and kill them or to bola them and kill them
Its a very Good souce for poop
Helpful for planting, feed stimb. For poop overflow
These creatures are more closely related to elephants than pigs
Get a huge group of about 20 find a stegosaurus and charge!!!!!!!
The pigs are great early game dinos
Great for poop for fertilizer. Get you some and feed them stim berries to force it to poop
Haven’t tamed I don’t know if it worth it. It only good for fertilizer
Stimbarries is the way to go if you want poop
A great early source of meat and hide. Soon as you learn to make bola, use your first on this guy n harvest it with an axe to get enough hide to make lots of bola. Then raptors and dilos will stop being a problem, and you'll be able to hunt parasaur and this guy for easy meat.
Aka poop master farm maker assume for growing plants
Make sure to bola because these things run!!!!!
