How do I kill a xiphactinus? xiphactinus encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
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.
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.

No cule why it takes spino kibble it's not on mobile

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

Will pull you off your raft so be careful
Basically if you found this type of fish, just hop on your raft and leave fast or just lure it to a mosasaurus
Bring a carcha they wipe the floor with these little stains of existence
If you guys are struggling to kill these guys use a Berry I encountered one and I did the spin attack and it works
