How do I kill a xiphactinus? xiphactinus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
The picture makes them look small.
They are not.
these things can grab you and carry you around till your dead… *sniff* learnt that the hard way.
Just a reminder they are officially in the game.I learned that the hard way…
These things can flop around on land. Beware
Don’t go close to them. Please pray for my dead frog. :(
Yep definitely not small I got gang banged by 3 it’s not fun after that ran into o block and they killed my mf pteranodon
This dolphin looking monster can not only knock you off a tame, a lvl 90 decided he wanted my argy more...drug him away while I was eaten x.x gg stupid fish, I did not see it coming.
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
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 😭😭🫡)
DO NOT APPROACH WITH BARYONYX OR OTHER SMALL MOUNT!!! IT CAN GRAB YOUR MOUNT AND THEN ITS PACKMATE WILL GRAB YOU.
Saw three of them near Herbie Island and thought my 11K HP Shark would be fine. I BARELY got out of there! It didn't even seem like they were losing health😵💫. I had to swim to the surface just so I could shoot them. I was less than 700 health 😩. Whats with these things.
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
The only place I've ever seen them spawn on the island is around herbivore island including the bay.
How to battle this fish bring an basilosaurs and icthys to encouter
No cule why it takes spino kibble it's not on mobile
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.
Be prepared and have confidence in the ocean
Will pull you off your raft so be careful
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
yo be carefull this thing can eat you whole
