What are tips for plesiosaur? Tips and strategies for plesiosaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Ok so I literally just got one with a platform saddle and now they’re everywhere!? Like I’m busy trying to annihilate fish and eurypterids with my tuso and these guys are in the way
Just found one and named him nessy and he just got killed by like 13 megs
(MOBILE)(easy mode)
stuff required:atleast 200 bio toxin, an ichty, a crossbow and atleast 40 tranq arrows or 30 toxicity arrows
On mobile no creatures aggro on ichty although if you use a weapon the creature will aggro on you. Plesios are usually found in the deep in pairs of two.
Kill the lower level one to harvest its prime meat using the ichty. They like rex kibble.
Note:using a metal pick on a meg will harvest atleast 2 prime fish meat.
Strategy:Shoot the plesio and since wild plesios are not as fast as an ichty, the plesio will not be able to reach you unless your trapped. Keep in mind that IF IT DOES REACH YOU, it could kill you and your ichty in a couple of hits. Lure it towards the beach and since it doesn't aggro in shallow water, you could easily shoot it from your ichty. Once it starts fleeing, follow it and keep shooting. Once it is knocked out kill any nearby creature that could interfere with taming(megs, mantas, piranhas, cnidarias(use crossbow), electrophorus(use crossbow) and dunkles.(ichtys, coels and leedys are harmless) if there is a leedy, scrape meat from it for taming the plesio.
Name your new plesio
Im gonna tanme one and name it nessie. I'll post this tip when she's tamed!
i died.
Don’t use it to fight jellyfishes. Just trust me.
There is an invisible barrier at a certain depth that the plesis will not cross, you can drag them up to this and shoot them till they deagro, when they do reagro and repeat until their knocked out. Also, you can drag them to the entrance of an underwater cave, and shoot the plesi, as long as you dont venture too far into the cave, it will not deagro.
To the guy who lost his plesiosaur there's a button in menu to teleport your tames back to you but when you do it there inventory will be empty.
Trapping- it's a 3 for 1 trap. Trap will work for plesio, moss, Squid. 4 sides of behemoth gates. 4 corner inside trap with pillars higher than gate. 3 Celling on each pillars going center of trap. So only a small gap in center. Now take a small angler or ichy or shark. Lure dinos in and get out from top and close door.
Voilà.
Early game taming trap for big water dino. Now your problem is getting it tamed after that. They take a lot of ressources to tame.
I would suggest plesio and kill other stuff with it like alpha to get black pearls and Lure squid in same trap.
Plesiosaurs will team up and try to kill you
Once one of my fav water dinos. Now that face haunts my dreams 😳
If trained well, they can be really good for looting deep sea crates, as well as visiting underwater caves
I found a level 51 plessi near herbivore island and lured it to shore then knocked it out and boom now I got a high level plessi (but jellyfish still scare me when riding it)(it died :(
Since a certain update, you can no longer get the plesiosaur to chase you up until it can't reach. When it can't chase you anymore, it will run away every time. Bring a dunk and let it munch on it against a wall. Especially on Ragnarok, the ocean is very open on there.
The real weapon of these bad boys is it’s face. DO NOT GO CLOSE! it’s so ugly it’s nightmare fuel.
Always 2 near the east bubble under north tropical (the center)
If you have flippers on float up if they try to bite you they'll miss 80% of the time because they're stupid
