Encountering Tips

How do I kill a titanoboa? titanoboa battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
A dilophosaur can usually take out a boa of an equal level. You just stand back and watch.
The dossier says "found in dark caves..." Really? Have they never went to the swamp and get their A's beaten by them?
easy to kill with a bow and arrows! if you encounter one, sprint back a bit and stop to shoot. a good bow will take it down in two shots. decent source of meat, just don't get knocked out! i play on mobile so i don't know if these things are true for other versions of the game.
The easiest way I think to kill it is one Dilophosaur and two giant turtles but one Dilophosaur will do the trick but watch it’s topor
It's best to keep them at range with a bow or crossbow, don't try and knock them out at all. Be wary of how quick they can sneak up on you at all times near their spawn locations. Make sure you keep stimberries on your hot bar so that way you can still access them if you get bit by a Titanoboa as they will usually knock you out. Upgrading your fortitude can help counteract this so be sure to put some levels into your fortitude early on. Titanoboa's are easy to outpace but be very wary as they can climb over most obstacles so don't bother thinking your safe by hiding behind a rock or a steep slope. Killing these guys is pretty simple with any ranged damaging weapon, just run a couple of steps, turn around and fire, repeat. Make sure you keep an eye on your stamina as it can be easy to forget about it during a battle, running out of it allows the Titanoboa to catch up to you pretty quickly so manage it correctly.
If you encounter a Titanoboa either shoot it with a gun if it’s for wearing off a crossbow or just run like heck
Baryonyx will mess them up. Just make sure they have a high melee stat.
These things are cowards and only win fights bc they spit 🙄
Get to high ground and stay away
Theses things killed me a couple times at the start, but after getting the bow and arrow I went back and destroyed them.
They’re pretty slow so u can just shoot at them, run away for a bit and keep shooting them and low levels die after 2 or 3 shots. (^ν^)
Quickslot stimberry
Run away, they will knock a new player out in 1-2 bites. If you live near there spawn learn what they sound like when they move. They can also climb over most obstacles with ease.
Please don’t land in a swamp or your pteranodon is dead and you.
Please don’t enter it
Use a weapon like a pike to hit these things, close range weapons like hatchets, picks, or swords will give the snake an opportunity to knock you out. Crossbows, bows, and guns also work
An easy way beat those little maggots is to jump when they lunge at you and stab em with a Pike or a sword.
EZ way to kill is use crossbow or bow and shoot it’s head
If you just started the game, i reccomend you make a spear and kill a few, they are extremely easy to get, and i believe they give you prime meat. also takes two fully charged shots to kill one (headshots)
You cant tame them in ark mobile, but the devs are gonna be adding all maps and dinos into ark mobile ( look on yt if u dont believe me ) there is evidence as well, dont lose hope mobile players!
I’d you’re low level do NOT approach these !! Even a level 1 Titanoboa can double shot you and their venom paralyses you. Flee !!! But if you’re good just go for it. I recommend using tranq arrows to avoid direct confronting
Here’s some quick tips for boas
1- if your in a bog/swamp then always stand on a rock and have your sound effects up, these will attempt to sneak up on you every 10 minutes.
2- fortitude is key to these guys, if you enter ark in a zone with a lot of boas, your gonna wanna upgrade your fortitude
3- if your bit by a boa do not run, back away while using a ranged weapon until you kill it, then run to a safe spot, if you run you might pass out from torpidity and die to another predator in the area
