ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These things are nasty. They can knock you out with one bite, once you’re bitten you have about 10 seconds to eat some stimberrys or something or you’re dead. Fortunately, they have a weakness. If you’re slightly faster than them you can back away, hit them with a weapon with reasonable reach (pike, spear), then back away before they hit back. As long as you don’t bump into something, you’ll be able to kill them this way. Of course, If you have a good shotgun, forget everything I’ve told you. Just out of reach. (Mobile version)

Snakes... why did it have to be snakes....
⬆️ If you have seen Indiana Jones
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?
I found one in swamp but it uh but my pteranodon and now it’s unconscious and now I’m stuck in the swamp please send help
Use ranged weapons against titanoboas and watch your surroundings as the can team up and knock you out.
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. it’s called TITANoboa. It’s 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 the guy who said that the ark species are made up they really aren’t there almost all real Dino’s that have lived
