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.

Snakes... why did it have to be snakes....

⬆️ If you have seen Indiana Jones

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?

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)

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.

Was getting wood with pteradon and didn't know one was sneaking up on me. Luckily I had my pteradon on aggressive when resource collecting, pteradon killed the titanboa but was knocked out so I sat there spamming stim berries to get him awake again.

Note: Have flying dinos with and have on aggressive when anywhere near swamp

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

These things are cowards and only win fights bc they spit 🙄

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
