ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Ok I'm going to try and make one thing clear about what I said about titanoboa. I never said that the animals in ark are made up. I said the species are fake. For example, the Rex in ark is not T.Rex and is instead called Tyrannosaurus Dominum in the dossier. Also the trike in ark is stated to be a cross between a actual triceratops and styracosaurus also in the dossier. So when I say "the species in ark are made up" it has to do with the lore.(Yes ark has lore) Also if you looked at the dossier it says that the titanoboa in ark doesn't constrict and is poisonous. Just to make thing a little more clear, and hopefully this doesn't get bombed with downvotes.
More Titanoboa Encountering Tips
If you're in an area that has a lot of these, put stimberries in your hotbar so if you get bit, spam those so you don't knock out, if you knockout, you're dead.
The dossier says:
"Found only in the dark caves of the island"
They are already wrong! It should say something more like:
"Found everywhere but the dark caves of the island, this creature will gladly ruin your day by jumping out and killing you as soon as you even think about going to the swamp. Nearly impossible to tame because it has to be tamed via passive which is very difficult to do. Worst of all you need to feed them fertilized eggs. Why can't it e a little easier?
Snakes... why did it have to be snakes....
β¬οΈ If you have seen Indiana Jones
Use ranged weapons against titanoboas and watch your surroundings as the can team up and knock you out.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you hear something hissing
You're probably screwed
For new players: do not get hit by this at all or you will get knocked out. It will continue to bite you until you die. Please like this is my first post.
In real life, Titanoboa was fifty feet long and lived in the jungles of Colombia 60 million years ago. It was a massive, definitely rideable monster that could squeeze the living crap out of you.
Ark made it a smol poisoner instead of a giant constrictor. itβs called TITANoboa. Itβs supposed to be big.
Other fact: The irl Titanoboa lived alongside and possibly preyed on the irl carbonemys
A hiss is all you'll hear
As an indicator I'm here
One bite from my snout
Then it's lights out
And your tamed friends might disappear.
Be sure to bring stim berries! And a gun. And a machete. And a flamethrower. Would you believe me if I said I actually like snakes? ~CL1
If you see one of these don't just run. Turn around walk backwards while using a pike to poke it in the eyes. Keep your distance well and you'll kill it without even taking a hit.
To collect eggs, build a 2 room pen (Dino gates work great as walls and dividers). Agro a bunch of TBs and lead them to one side of the pen then trap them in. Lead them back and forth between the sides as they drop eggs.
