Encountering Tips

How do I kill a troodon? troodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Always have a bola and always be ready. Especially at night. Personally, if I saw one during the day I don't go out during the night. Fairly easy to kill if you just bola and use a bow or slingshot (I'm speaking as someone who just started over on a hardcore server. You need to be able to kill troodons not the other way around)
They can damage thatch and wood
I play mobile and I'm glad I don't have to encounter these as they'll eat my tames to tame them or just KO me with their poison.Damn!
I have vouched to kill every troodon I see... I hate them
These are the bane of my existence
Run. If you don’t they will stun you and give yo a slow painful death.
First time I saw them at first I thought they were big compys. I didn't notice their glowing eyes because of the fireflies. These things can jump. One knocked me out when it launched onto my raft. Forget fighting these unless you're out of reach.
These duchess travel in pack 2 or more singles if lucky otherwise find a rock and get some tranque arrows
I have 4 with 200% movement speed and 460 attack, no one ever sees them coming.
I was attacked by 2 of these guys while I tried to take down a trike but when I went back to find my body there was nothing. Not even a inventory bag. Is it possible for them to take everything when you die ?
It has a poison which makes you pass out faster and it only effects players so stay on your Dino as your it's main target
When seeing this little piece of things get a bola and bola it. Once you do that go behind it and kill it so it doesn't breed more of those bloody things
If encountered, especialy during the night (noticable with glowing red eyes), it is recomended to flee as they will drain stamina and increas torpidity. Furthermore if you are killed by one it will usualy lay an egg on your body and gaurd it until it disapears, so stay clear...
Their aggro range is small, so they are easy to avoid.
I would watch out for these guys they can steal things from your dinosaurs
Be ready for these little buggers, they'll knock you out quick but that's the only thing they can do so keep stimberries or stimulant in your hot bar and maybe put some levels in fortitude so you can kill them with no trouble
From all the posts I have read, since they run in a pack of 5 (or more) sounds like to tame them you need to entrap them as a group (in case of a k.o) I suppose you can build a tame trap with metal fences or something of that nature?! I have yet to run into these over grown compy's but I'm sure that a method is on the way
Troodons are harmless unlike the dodo if you see a troodon go towards it
As a professional, my best tip against those nightmares is fire. Get them with an Argy or something else to the volcano on the Island and dip them into the Lava. I swear, this makes you feeling great.
P.S.: I'm serious. After the Pego it's my second worst nightmare.
I died to cool erries in the first dungeon I went in and I was lvl 100 so I thought I would see i got wrekt
