How do I kill a piranha? piranha battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Just swim and hit it while u can and if there are more sorry ur dead
Or u know ur not
This creature is never there when you want it and always are when you don’t.
Noobs, fear not! To kill these all you need to do is lure into shallow water and whistle a monkey that’s on your shoulder to attack them.
An easy way to kill the piranhas is to stand in the shallow end of the water for a few seconds and lure them to the edge of the water, then you can kill them without dieing
These things are the worst. As soon as your foot hits the water, it is like you have a tractor beam on your feet for them to zoom straight towards you, swarm you, and then proceed to kill you. If you’re new to the game, and you see it coming, I have one word of advice: SWIM.
When entering the water, go under and look around for a medium sized fish lunging for you. If there is, swim back to shore asap. The piranha should be near the edge of the water. Pumch it without getting too deep or close to it. You can easily gather fish meat this way.
No matter how far they are in your area...if they are in the same body of water with you, they will lock on. Use a Sarco to scare them away. (New TLC update) - Gabriel
Make a raft a spear it (level 1 should take around 6 spears)
Their melee damage is pretty OP...
When trying to kill it use spears and and a hatchet
All you need to do is hop in lure them to shore and punch them to death. However on the middle river there's like 7 or 9. Avoid the middle river
When you encounter it in the rivers or oceans you will never see it coming including that you can carry it when it is dead
Deadliest creature in the game. Generally approaches you when you least need them to. Slaughter machine. Build a boat.
These shits killed me about 4 times, killed my level 112 dodo, my level 76 parasaur and my level 60 sarco, STAY OUT OF THE WATER
Bro just tame anything from the swamp hope you don’t die then you do not have to worry about them I suggest a barryonyx the tail whip them and everything my barryonyx killed everything included the JELLYFISH LIKE THEY OP
Just killed one with my spear,it didn't really chase me when I got into the water though
I got attacked by 5 lvl 1 piranhas and my lvl 50 moschops came to help me and got obliterated by them. Press F to pay respects
Don't worry about knock out take they don't attack and my wild Bronto got knocked out on the piranha river
These are such a pain to deal with...
When you think you’ve killed every Pirahna in the nearby water, 3 more come and eat you alive.
THE GAME NEEDS TO REMOVE THESE LITTLE F**KERS THEY KILLED ALL OF MY PARASAURS ( I had at least 3 or 4 )
