How do I kill a titanoboa? titanoboa battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Get to high ground and stay away
Please don’t land in a swamp or your pteranodon is dead and you.
Please don’t enter it
If you encounter a Titanoboa either shoot it with a gun if it’s for wearing off a crossbow or just run like heck
EZ way to kill is use crossbow or bow and shoot it’s head
Baryonyx will mess them up. Just make sure they have a high melee stat.
The dossier says "found in dark caves..." Really? Have they never went to the swamp and get their A's beaten by them?
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
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.
Very idiosyncratic theories indicated jesus jesus held
Just an idea …don’t go building your first base next to the swamp life will be a lot more easy that way… oh yeah also don’t do it on hardcore…. what have I done……
You Can Get A Lot Of Prime Meat If You Kill This Bad Boi

These things are very silent. Be wary when exploring caves and swamps, since you can barely hear them coming until it is too late. Despite the name and its inspiration, the creature is not very large. That makes their surprise even worse.

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^)
An easy way beat those little maggots is to jump when they lunge at you and stab em with a Pike or a sword.
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.
The Titanoboa technically does not kill with any venom as I’ve seen some people trying to clarify between constriction and venom. While it should kill with constriction the titanoboa kills from biting, the venom just keeps you knocked out. I agree though the titanoboa should grab you (like thylo/kaprosuchus) and constrict allowing it to crush your bones after prolonged constriction and then having the player pass out from lack of oxygen. Then the last bit would be it would swallow you whole. This way it gives you a chance to break free from initial constriction however if you don’t fight back it’s sure death.
This is scattered and common in swamps, or I think since I didn't visited the swamp until I got the pteranadon saddle, also this is an ez kill with a bow and arrow and gives prime meat so kill these things if you have a ranged weapon for free prime meat
i was latching on a tree in the redwoods with my tapejara when suddenly one of these guys started climbing up the tree where i was. i noped the frick out of there😂
