Encountering Tips

How do I kill a purlovia? purlovia battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
GUYS THEY ARE ON MOBILE I LEARNED THT THE HARD WAY
First time encountering these and now I’m stranded in the middle of the mountains
WARNING
These guys can knock Argentavis and Pteranodon out of the sky if they fly close enough to the ground
I’m not going into detail about encountering a wild badger, all I need to say is that they are ground thylas.
Let me tell u this thing ain’t nun to play with😂 like this dude I will be chillin running around and he will come out grab me and kill me and camp my bag 💀 point is if u see this dude jus pray to god and ask him why u
I saw one of these things whilst on my best spino names spike and killed it with like a billion terror birds on me in the swamps next to the redwoods and saw a purlova for the first time. And did not know it could do so much thing and how dangerous it was.
Ride desmo in ice cave fjordur, got stun by this mf beaten by yeti and direwolf. Hate this dino
Just one of those dinos that will haunt you no matter what point in the game you are currently at 🤷♂️ Literally no way you can prevent being killed by one of these things except just STAYING AWAY!!! I am level 87 and these things still haunt me 🤷♂️ The funny thing is, they are worse than a Rex or Giga in a way 🤔😂
You can find these dinos in the redwood biome or snow biome. I had trouble finding them myself since they blend in so well and if they are up out of the ground they look like dire bears! Until one day I was going to tame a megaloceros and I knocked it out, the darn Purlovia snuck up on me and ate my tame! Always bring a bola and at least 10-25 tranq arrows, depending on your bow. Do not let these guy pack up as they will rip you to shreds. Best method I find that works is to climb on a rock or build a pen around it quickly and then starve it out before knocking it out, this way you don’t have to waste narcotics on the Dino. Use prime raw meat for 15%+ each piece! And if you wanted to know what they are useful for... HIDING YOUR STUFF AND BEING A MINE FOR PVP!!! (If you made it this far, I give you my last 180 words I have left...)

They are the ark Mobile equivalent of Thylacoleo
Both thing in common it scares the jump-[__] out of you
The are all over the winter part of the island and can be found on the redwood
Just surprise them by a grenade XD
Get a shoulder mount, throw them ontop of the lump in the ground and watch the purlovia leap for them now knock it out
These things are nasty. I was just wandering the Red Woods with my Argy looking for pelt and all of a sudden I get knocked off my Argy thirty feet in the air! And then of course, terror birds kill me so then I request my Argy only to find out she has only 200 health left. Moral of the story, when roaming the Red Woods, keep and eye on your surroundings and always try to stay at least fifty feet in the air because these things can jump high.
“This has an award for one of creepiest things in the game at 5th place” someone on YouTube said
I would have survived the wolves but NOOOO THERE HAD TO BE ONE OF THESE GUYS
On mobile, they have great knockback and can knock back a lot of creatures.
In case you didnt know they can spawn in aberration's red zone and scorched earth out of all places
Legit found a level 2 purlovia and had been jumpscared MULTIPLE TIMES knowing where it was trying to tame it so be careful and make sure when trying to tame the guys to stay on high ground when taming a low level and taming pen if 70+ levels
If you run into 1 in the red woods lead it to a gallimimus and if your lucky he will chase the gallimimus
