How do I kill a purlovia? purlovia battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These god damn things are so annoying oh my god you don't understand
Guys forget the wolves whose the same size as this, think about araneos that's even a little smaller and can still be ridden with good speed
They are very common and sneaky in the endgame cave, the TEK Cave. Don't get pounced!
Nobody told me this bastard could stun killed my pteranodon:/
So, I went on a trip with my Pterodactyl Ani. We were in a multiple player server and I went to a purple drop in pvp. Well I saw some kapro’s some carno’s and some other crap and I was like ‘Pfft, I’ll just be quick’. I GO NEAR IT AND THIS THING LIKE PARALYZED ME AND ANI! All of those kapro’s came and ate her alive. That creature is a nightmare. I swear to always check BEFORE I go down. Cause somehow I didn’t get eaten by kapro’s or carno’s so we both flew away in utter silence. TERRIFIED ME AND I JUST SAT THERE LIKE, ‘Why am I not dead?’
I was mindin my own business tryna lure the giga from the snow biome and suddenly. A PURLOVIA AMBUSHED ME AND MY ARGY and both me and my argy died. That stupid purlovia

My tamed Igua and Me: Ooh lets walk over here.

(Also uhm, theres this glitch where when purlovia attacks and you run, you still take damage... Its also more commonly experienced when purlovias attack)
Moral of the story: Never mess with a Purlovia, or go to the brown lumps of dirt.... THEY WAIT FOR YOU TO COME BY..)

Get recked a few times trying to solo a cave by these, grab a pair of 225 mate boosted andrews, slap two saddles on them. If one tank gets stunned, dismount and hop onto the mate. Rip and tear until it is done.
I was trying to tame an Equus when this boy exploded out of the ground and killed the Equus. Beware they be kinda stealthy.
They are commonly found in the redwoods but I have a seen some in the snow area

Obvious landmines. Cautious approach. Flawless tames. Perilous trek back to base... Due to them with a bad case of ADHD and getting stuck. Hencefore twins known as Herpa & Derp.
