Tips & Strategies

Be me:
Goes to swamp make my base there cause I like the environment and my tribes decide we could make a cool swamp village.
Make base and swamp village with bridges to base so we don’t have to swim in the nasty water and leeches takes serval hours perfectly peaceful only the occasional sarco and bug attacks.
After an hour I come back to base after collecting some metal I hear my tribe screaming “BUG! HOLY SH*T ! GIANT F*CKING BUG!” Me thinking “huh? The small ones? Must be an big swarm”
Arrive at base sees the giant bugs “oooohhhh” we kill one of them and loot it 14min later 5 more attack us , tribe tired of this nonsense so we do an occasional purge with our Rex’s and hunt them down :).
I’m from Florida it like dealing with alligator that end up in your poll or backyard.

Pls for the love of god.
Dont ever get close. Those things can one shot a bronto whit resin💔
Pro tip: NEVER under ANY circumstances fly a PT anywhere NEAR the swamp. Dododex says they are rare, but you can get four swarming you at once. This will save your life, controller, and pt.
If you’re trying to find it in Ragnarok (Mobile) they don’t exist there.
If you see this and you don't have strong high level dino that can kill them quickly just give up. They WILL kill you. Dont even try goin anywhere near the swamps.
Don't forget you guys, we can craft insect repellent to appear invisible to these guys!! This trick also works for taming Scorps or Spiders with rotten meat. Bump it to the top for those who are rusty!
I was just flying near the redwoods to looks around when one of these freaks pulled up on me and my pt. I didn’t realize they were in the new mobile version so I screamed and tried to run away (it caught up) and I had to dismount my pt and run for it. DO NOT GO NEAR ANY SWAMP UNLESS YOU’RE PREPARED. THEY ARE SCARY.
Only spawn when you don’t want them to
rare my ass, these annoying buggers are everywhere near the swamp
Rare??? My ass rare... They spawn in 3-5 stack literally in redwood around swamp area... Yeah they have alreay eaten around 17 pteranodon, 1 iguana, 1 trike, 20 human and lots of my stuff hardly crafted and looted.
I ran into one with my PT, and it did not end well…
