ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

I'm around lvl 30 and ever since I started the game I can honestly say "I hate these creatures!" I've died by them more then anything else lost two parasaurs, a raptor, and who knows what else. Advise keep glancing under water to see if any are around, avoide rivers crossing on foot. I like rock hopping and dino swimming they can take more damage
More Piranha Encountering Tips
These piranhas are SOOOO annoying!One time I was passive taming and Equus and it ran into the water, Then about 2-4 piranhas came up and killed my Equus! I was so sad and I went and killed them. WildCard, If you see this lower the percentage of piranhas. Thank You!
The pirahna is literally the worst thing for low levels. they have high damage and take a good bit to kill. They lock on as soon as you go under water.
I lost 2 Triceratops at them:
Manuel, lvl: 137
Edgar, lvl: 97
Up for 1 rip
1. Find piranha with 200-100 health
2. Lure to the shore
3. Get spear
4. Kill it
Do NOT leave your tames in rivers I have list so much brontos, diplos and carnos from these!
Honestly this fish is the pain of my existence.
If Satan himself had a pet fish... this would fit the description... LEGIT
My best raptor was killed by 2 of them, really hate these guys now and i will avenge the life of my raptor, the baby will live up to the legacy his mom left him
I was searching for beaver dams on my sarco and these guys came at me but swam away once they got close to my sarco. Take a sarco into the water, they scare piranhas away.
This little dipshite will wait for you to get halfway across the river then strike.
