How do I kill a troodon? troodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Do not mess with these guys
They will make you go on unconscious
If you're wandering at night and see yellow lights pull out a torch. If you dont have one, make one if your torch breaks when you pull it out, well lets just say its lights out in more ways then 1
So my encounter with a Troodon was when I was walking at night trying to get some metal and I heard a weird sound and it scared me so I was like okay that's a that's okay that's that's fine and then it's comes out of nowhere and bites me I'm falling asleep I'm like okay great now I'm starting to get tired and then I'm trying to run away from it the one thing I realize how to get away from it is either having a pet that could fly or shooting them mostly I just leave a Dodo I'll tame a Dodo and leave it there so it won't get me
If you are on the beach you’re lucky to not encountering the troodon at night
Some people have asked for ark mobile but you need to go into a dungeon kill them and take the implant then revive it a a revival platform that is blocked off and drop tames in from above moschops are the best as they won’t attack at all just make sure it’s night
Thankfully troodon not available in mobile (you found them in doungen not on map of island)
They knowdown you before brain make any plan
I decided to attack one of these with my raptor. Rip milkshake
Shoot it from very very far away
These things have a massive turn radius! Once I wasx knocked out and one only managed to hit me like once every two minutes!
Just stat away from them at nighttime, in the morning you can bola them then shoot them with arrows and they will easily die!
Troodons are deadly purely because of their poison. Be alone or in groups, they rarely deal any real damage when wild. But consider those facts about their poison:
1-It ignores armor: No matter the damage you receive, the effect of poison is applied to reach exact 50 points of torpor during the 10 seconds it last. The only way to not pass out after a Troodon bite is having at least a point of fortitude or using Stimulants.
2- It does not stack, but can be re-applied; When fighting groups, don't panick as they won'y knock you down any faster because of their numbers. If possible, kill them with headshots before fainting instead of running.
As always, consider bolting to a safe area with a flying or climbing mount after the poison shows its fangs.
If you see glowing eyes in the dark... RUN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE
I HATE THESE LITTLE B**** THEY MAKE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL
I've been killed by these guys so many times I don't go drop hunting at night anymore. The most annoying thing is that they are in groups and you could be taming one and then it turns night and then WAM all the others are murdering you. But they would be a good hunting tame.
THEY ARE AFRIAD OF LIGHT just use a torch and if they are feeling jumpy they will try to attack you just catch them on fire and watch them run
You'll need an army of 100 forcetamed alpha overseers and rockwell prime to defeat a pack of 5 level 50's of these. No joke.
They can enter doorways so be careful
They killed my level 10 trike in 2 hits
These are way to OP like they knock you out and then stay on your body till you’re dead it’s bs
Avoid this thing it will kill you easily one time in online i was walking around then a troodon came outta no where and knocked me out i left the server and i was dead. And i had some crispy stuff so im mad. So best thing to do is avoid it.
