Tips & Strategies

Cave Tip:
These guys spawn in the 4 listed caves (lower and upper south, central and swamp caves)
My advise is play with sound (they have a characteristic hissing sound) and if you see one shot it full of arrows or poke it with a spear/pike take stimulants/stimberries if you get bitten to starve of the torpor increase

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?
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
THERE ARE EVERYWHERE I GOOOO FUUUCK
They always come when you're about to tame a baryonyx and then they knock you and meganuras kill you and the baryonyx :(
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.
If you’re a low level then you’re best bet is throw spears at its head until it’s brains are pouring out. Also decent level baryonyxs make short work of titanoboas
Hope you’re doing well during this pandemic

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
Use ranged weapons against titanoboas and watch your surroundings as the can team up and knock you out.
