Encountering Tips

How do I kill a purlovia? purlovia battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Flying in the air with a bird in the redwoods or Arctic can help you find on but don't forget a parachute
I found one on the flat beach next to the swamp next to the redwoods.
Everyone commenting on the redwoods.... be careful by the honey mine 31 31! Stunned me. Had never encountered these shi*s before. Deader than dust.
They’re the worst just run u have no hope
This is some thing I would happily hunt to extinction…
RIP RAVEN! MY BEAUTIFUL ARGY BABY!
YOUR IN A BETTER PLACE NOW AND I WILL AVEEEEENGE YOUUUU!!!
In the aberration element region I'm way more scared of purlovias then reaper queens so when I'm going there I bring a rock drake and scale the walls because of these stupid things! Also watch out there are sooo many of these things in the caves leading to the titan terminals in extinction.
This thing killed my 169 thylo and my 37 therizino
So I was walking in the woods of the island and this thing jumped out of the ground and scared me and my friend and it attacked me but our Raptor killed it
They come from the ground and hit ur mount in the stumick they get disy so u can’t ride then
Mainly linger in cold places this is were I find them except my dire wolf kill them
Try not to be to close to the ground when there around
While Shadowmanes are not immune to the Purlovian dismount, if the Purlovia is hit at all during is dismount attack, the attack will be interrupted.
This includes damage from the shadowmane's thorns, and because the Purlovia does damage to creatures in between it and its target, if the Purlovia tries to dismount you, it will damage to the shadowmane, triggering thorns, and stopping the dismount attack.
Every now and then the Purlovia manages to sneak one through but is fairly rare.
Shadowmanes are also not immune to radiation, but with 30k HP who needs radiation immune tames?
Be careful were you land, I lost a pteranodon to one of these things
Keep a Rex or bronto on follow
One of these attacked me and I was afk but only because I was regaining stamina. Then my bronto smacked it and almost killed it then my rex roared and finished it off
Killed a couple with just one sabertooth, idk what all the fuss is about
They're dangerous but don't have the best health. If you're attacked by one, your best bet is to fight it because if you have high damage weapons (a sword, at the least) you will probably be able to kill it.
Tip: if you want a good counter against these guys, use a Yutarannus. Their roar automatically unburies them, and I don’t think they’ll be able to knock you off if you’re riding it. I’m not entirely sure
Use a grenade to get them out of hiding if you spot them first with two helmet
Just light them up as fast as you can with anything you have
These guys are oversized furry moles with an also oversized ego. i hate these noooo
