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

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 😂.

Be prepared and have confidence in the ocean

Can be instant tamed-I tank a pack of them with a turtle and tranq the highest level almost to full torpor and wait until it does it's bleed attack this will drain it's food stat completely but u gotta KO fast before the food stat rebuilds.

This picture look like a small fish

Worst thing ever added to ark. Welcome to the water thyla the thing nobody asked for and everyone hates. YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR TAME IN THE OCEAN. DO NOT THINK YOU CAN OUTRUN WITH YOUR ICHY

When I first encountered this creature I grappled to my pteranodon over the surface of the water. Immediately got dragged down and brutally killed. Do yourself a favor and tame a tanky creature that you can wield while riding or make a trap first.

yo be carefull this thing can eat you whole

Well that can catch you so first build the cage and make it like get holes but small that you cannot escape then you need a crossbow because if you get too close you’re cooked so you need a crossbow hit the head and boom you got you’re very X fish

Will pull you off your raft so be careful

Definitely in vest in a aquatic tame, to tank the damage these things produce.. My 1st experience almost killed our tribes highest leveled Megaldon, and the Xiphactinus was only Level: 140. With that being said, beware of these deadly foes.

P.S. Also try and use Harpoon Tranqs. The Xiphactinus has low health, so if you bring any tranq arrows, you'll most likely kill it before you get the chance to tame it.

Basically if you found this type of fish, just hop on your raft and leave fast or just lure it to a mosasaurus

If you use a tanky water creature, you can place it next to a vacuum chamber and shoot shocking darts from inside

Bring a carcha they wipe the floor with these little stains of existence

You can tame them with cooked meat jerky.

Its all I had on me at the time lol

If you guys are struggling to kill these guys use a Berry I encountered one and I did the spin attack and it works

How to battle this fish Kill a 200000 Xiphactinuses

Happy to have about her normal KO tame

I tamed from back of a sarco. Let it circle me and pezzled it with xbow as it passed. It won't pick you off sarco.

My ichthyosaurus got grabbed by it and I just had to tranq it down. Very easy tame and INCREDIBLE mount
