What are tips for xiphactinus? Tips and strategies for xiphactinus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
There’s no need for a trap. All I had to do was get it to aggro on my Meg (while it was on passive) and I just shot away with my crossbow, tamed with prime meat. It’s a really quick and easy tame!
Peek your head just under the water so you can see them at a distance. Shoot a couple tranqs at them it'll aggro and Chase and you lead it back to shore. Tranq it from the safety of the beach
If u see them swim they stun u and knock u off ur take (I didn’t know they existed so I got attacked 😭😭I was looking for blue lights instead of big fish 😭😭🫡)
These guys are evil I had with me my ichy and megalodon and 4 of these and 1 meg came and jumped me and killed everything including myself, went back with a mosa and that also died, that stuff is being left to despawn
Get in shallow water and trap with billboards then
1.shoot with shocking tranq dart
2.shoot with shocking tranq dart
3.feed kibble.
I remember taking a Tussa my baso started to attack it it was on low-ish health then when i saw this thing I freaked out and it killed the tussa and my baso really quickly and about killed me! Thank god I survived with my argy that was above the surface
A pack of 5 ripped up my 362 Dunky
Spent a couple hours taming a 140 angler just to get run down by 3 of these things and gobbled up before getting a single pearl. These things are way too fast worst thing added to the game
May 22nd. Official server weekday a Lv 130F took 10 Superior Kibble (~89.9% effectiveness +64 lvls) had 9614 Topor with mid-high topor drain and slow up tick. High chance to kill with crossbow if you don't pace yourself.
Watch out! These things can and will destroy a 50k health tame no matter the saddle in minutes! Watch out in caves for high level packs of these things!
They’ll absolutely destroy your mutated 100k health 1200 melee Bassi in minutes if taken on all at once, try to kite some at a time and NEVER all at once on your mount.
Any tanky mount or lure it to a trap with an icthy (sacrifice the icthy) get out and start shooting it with tranq arrows
(Also dont listen to the people that say to use tranq darts they heal rapidly so your fine with tranq arrows)
These things are so annoying to tame but so worth it be ready cause you will be knocked off your tame high levels are way more dangerous
The only place I've ever seen them spawn on the island is around herbivore island including the bay.
These things shred in packs and for some reason they're always in high levels i lost a 20k health deinosuchos in seconds from these
Me and my Dad call them toe biters. And it isn't a little nibble. It is like an untrained surgeon trying to amputate your leg then goes for the other leg as well. Be careful out there new players 😂.
If you plan on taking a Baryonyx or any other small creature into the ocean,I strongly urge you to reconsider. These demon tunas are often in schools of 3-4 individuals and are able to grab your mount and if you’re low on hp,will LITERALLY eat you. Your best bets are to either take a mount they can’t grab (like Spino or Deinosuchus) or cut your losses with the unfortunate mount and make for the nearest bit of land where Xiphactinus can’t follow.
How to battle this fish bring an basilosaurs and icthys to encouter
No cule why it takes spino kibble it's not on mobile
Be prepared and have confidence in the ocean
