Encountering Tips

How do I kill a xiphactinus? xiphactinus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
these things can grab you and carry you around till your dead… *sniff* learnt that the hard way.
Took a couple of these groups out with my lvl 104 archelon last night. Last group almost took e out but survived.
These things are already one of the fastest water creatures which is already bad enough, but they also come in groups, maybe to like 3 or 4. Also they have the bleed effect, the bleed effect takes 5% of your health, doesn’t seem like alot but 5% is a whole lot. learned the hard way :(
Don’t go close to them. Please pray for my dead frog. :(
Just a reminder they are officially in the game.I learned that the hard way…
Tried to use ark asa oceans to conquer my thalassaphobia.
My expectation: Conquer my fear
Reality: 💀
These things can flop around on land. Beware
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
If you see these big fish at a low level when swimming do not go near them because they are massive, aggressive sardines called xiphactinus which will speed towards you and gobble you up. Thanks and gl!! 🪳🪳🪳
Do not tackle these with a pelegornis. I got knocked off and had to watch this fish swim by with my bird in its mouth. I hot the pelegornis back after I piked the fish. Great graphics.
DO NOT APPROACH WITH BARYONYX OR OTHER SMALL MOUNT!!! IT CAN GRAB YOUR MOUNT AND THEN ITS PACKMATE WILL GRAB YOU.
just watched a wild pack of these absolutely MELT an alpha meg in under 30 seconds. help
One day I decided to go for a swim and saw this small fish swimming towards me. When it for closer I realised it wasn't a little fish but a big unfriendly fish..
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.
These damn things ran down my Angler and I until it was completely out of stamina. Managed to get to the water area of my base, where my beaver tried to help. Poor fella was dragged around the water until I could come rescue him.
So if you're hunting for silica pearls, bring a LOT of security tames.
They can grab you off anything that’s a drag weight of 210 or below, if your dino is above 210 you don’t have to worry. You can look up your dinos drag weight to check
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.
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
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 😭😭🫡)
A pack of 5 ripped up my 362 Dunky
