ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
If you're a new player, odds are you won't have to deal with these for a while. They're only found in swamps, so you'll never see one in the safer parts of the island. But, if you find yourself up against one, they are slower than they look, and not very strong. A few hits with a slingshot walking backwards will do the trick for beginners. They're barely an issue for more advanced players.
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.
