Encountering Tips

How do I kill a yi ling? yi ling battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
All these new creatures (arcalon creatosaurus armadoggo yi ling dreadnoughtus exnauthus deinosuchus and cosmo gigantoraptor ) can only be found on ascended
Here's something, despite dododex saying you can't use a Bola. You can use a bola on the Yi lings. Hope this helps!
you'll most likely encounter this annoying yet lovely creature while strolling on abberation, it'll start gunning you with feathers ON SIGHT, by far the easiest way to escape them is with a few swings upwards with a Cosmo, wouldn't recommend running on foot as they usually have a gang ready and strapped, overall, hold W or forward and just keep running
They are so annoying, if not looking to tame go run past other creatures and they will most likely agro on them
It is a big bird that has webed wings(not really wings)and it has a pretty big beak and it about as tall as the character a little taller and covered in feathers.
It said that this guy eats nameless creatures scurrying around so it could maybe eat nameless and we wouldn’t fear those Gollum looking things early on.
If you are starting out and keep getting griefed by them. I suggest you made a wooden shield early game and .maybe a few spares
I found one of these in the green zone so idk what y'all are talking about
So fun fact. When you are frolicking around on your new Yi Ling and get aggro'd by five of them. They follow. For a long time. They will follow as long as you are gliding downward. I find that the best way to loose one is to cling to a wall, jump off, and use the dash to gain altutude and cling to use it again.
Change the way that this bird is tamed now!!!
It’s not out yet but soon we’ll have aberration on Asa and with blimps I think it would be the last thing you want on a blimp or in early game
This thing will glide like a drake but use stam to give it a boost to flap and glide for longer. Its feathers can be fired and can be coated with different things that apply certain effects on top of the damage they do. They will be found in the green zone in Ab, because thats where the majority of it's prey creatures are. A lvl 150s hp will range between 2-3k. They will not use saddles, and will instead hold you somewhat like a bloodstalker, which means its important to lvl up hp to combat its lack of armour.
Stegos can root them either by hitting them while in "heavy plate" mode or by impaling them.
Theoretically you should be able to trap one with another player's help with a heavy swing followed by holding an impale while the other player builds around you, but the stego stands a good chance of killing it by accident.
