Encountering Tips

How do I kill a troodon? troodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I was ridding a Equus with like 200+ oil back from the desert entering redwoods on ragnarok and one of these little bastards came out of nowhere along with a evil little micro raptor good thing my raptor and two equus’ where on neutral bad news I died so I found the mounts alive but not the oil. So :(. If you couldn’t tell hate these run if you see those glowing eyes
If you actually do tame a male and a female, don’t bother with anymore. They breed very fast compared to most other tames, and you can just do that instead of sacrificing your tames
Don't attack on a single low level raptor. Suckers circled her so she couldn't move. I hopped off and remembered they knock you out so I hopped back on, I used commands so rid the world of them and then I passed out. Raptor kinda just walked off into the ocean while I was out, which is a really dumb way to loose a dino
These things are poisonous so be prepared if taming.
Kill them with your mount don’t get KO d
Use a trike and kill them, but is dangerous to fight when you don’t have a mount the same or more strong than the triceratops
These things are so anoying if you run across them you can't ever resort to the old bola your friend and run technic instead they knock both of you out and kill you sloowwwllllllyyyyy
I'm more scared of these devil's than a gigantic
Beware of you see one there is at least 3 or 4 more nearby
After fighting one of these I never get of my Dino's with looking around especially at night
If 5 or more are attacking you your done for
If one of these things bites you, make sure it's dead before you hit the ground or you won't be getting back up.
They are extremely dangerous for anyone with no dinos or dinos on passive.
I recommend running for anyone who is unlucky enough to stumble upon this annoying dino.
Beware everyone! If there is a troodon pack and raptor pack chasing you, they will not kill each other. Instead, they will chase you relentless. If you die or get away, they may fight. But most of the time they just kill other things.
Saw one at level 43 and thought it was just a cute little carnivore. Tried to knock it out... It and three friends came out of nowhere to absolutely kick my ass.
If you're encountering one for the first time, yes, this thing is a lot tinier than you'd think, and a lot more evil!
If you are hit by a Troodon near any body of water get in deep enough that when you pass out it doesn’t confirm the kill and will give you just enough time to wake up and not lose health to lack of oxygen. If hit multiple times get as far away as possible even in water because if you die you can get to your body without dying again and again and again
The only defences against these guys are to either be on a Dino (it inflicts less torpor) or use a flaming torch. I nearly survived by whacking it with my burning brand but I didn’t wake up fast enough
If you see one run just run, because they can knock you out in 10 seconds and keep you there till you die.
Don't stay and fight just run also get movement speed to at least 120 and your good
Have at least 10 fortitude and you can last a hit or two
