Tips & Strategies
As a low level with a bow, these are a super easy way to level up. Just look for them in day light and shoot them from a distance. By the time they get to you it will be dead.
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.
Snakes... why did it have to be snakes....

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?
Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you hear something hissing
You're probably screwed
Use ranged weapons against titanoboas and watch your surroundings as the can team up and knock you out.
So here's a very good tip for newbies in ARK swamps.
If hunting, target the Boa first. Make sure you kill them!
Here's why. About the Boas, they have a good poison. They might knock out someone with just 2-3 bites. Not so deadly, but when you're asleep, other predators might kill you. You don't wake up quickly. Bring a good pet and some stimulant. You might need a ranged weapon too.
Boa= Titanoboa
Just watched this on a show called world's biggest beasts. This thing was huge IRL at least 2-3 wide 50-60 foot long. The constriction on this titan was much much greater than the constrictor of today.
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
