ARK How To Tame A Xiphactinus - With Good Trap!

they added these fish in hard water cave of island.. nightmaaaaare..

Heyy nooblets always love your work especially your taming vids :)
Are you gonna do any more let's play series /vids.?? omg I so enjoyed them they are relaxing and funny as lol
You looking at doing any new survival or strategy games etc ?
Anyway keep up your awesome work 😇

If you have a Rhyniognatha all you have to do is sit on its back and shoot the fish with a crossbow and tranq arrows

I’m always amazed at the work you do in creating the easiest traps. You are the greatest around.

What happens if you are not in the water again and the timer runs out?

It doesn’t swim away when close to ko. I tamed with a squid no trap ezpz

My ocean is so foggy, i cant ever see anything. Is there a way to change it?

The required cryo fridge and generator to throw out a pod is what has killed the game

I wonder.. I have done absolutely everything else possible except the dino wipe on my single player save, and no Arcos have spawned on my map even once. Fasos do spawn pretty well and almost everything else. Haven't seen a single ovis and only 2 megatheriums so far. Also at one point there was literally 0 yutis on the map, but that got fixed after I caused some local extinction events in the mountain ranges with my wolfpack

Great tips! Finally got my Xiphactinus thanks to your trap method 🎣👍

is this another one of those buy to tame critters?

Have they fixed the single player save issue on xbox yet? Last time I played after scorched earth released it was still a thing.

for those who have reached mid to end game, you can use a vaccum chamber and place it nearby. use a tanky water critter to tank damage and you can shoot it with shocking tranq darts from inside the vaccum chamber
while it munches on you dino for a faster KO.

I call them magikarp cause during its first trailer appearance in evolved it used splash on Savage Acro

Way easier to just let them attack your Mosa while you knock them out... just sayin

good to see you back doing what you do best

Not going go question the trapping... It seems solid.

BUT

Isn't it better to just let the dolphin take some hits as you go around and place the gate or whatever? You can easily tell the dolphin to follow you out of the trap instead of riding it after the deed is done.

And if the dolphin dies... Well, it's just a cheap mount you lost.

the icthy can be shot off of while riding it

I spawned into my underwater vacum base and one grabbed me through the wall and killed me.

If this fish does run just make a bigger trap go in with a Dino that can tank and then it can’t torpor run out and you won’t be stressing about some super difficult trap clutch play

Nice job Steve.. glad you finally got em to spawn! Ive been using a Baryonyx... use the tail stun as often as possible and just keep shooting with narcos. Helps to have a good saddle, tanky Bary, and / or an ascendent crossbow, but.. can work with vanilla.. as long as you have enough health on the Baryonix. Never had one run on me yet.. although I have had them take a break from being distracted.. but a quick pop in the butt with a tranq arrow usually gets em hauling back at me.

Thank you

I just hop on a turtle and shoot from the saddle while the Xiph swims around it - it stays agressive until knocked out. Throwing out something as a distraction (tuso or basi) also helps

That fish has a face only a mother could love lol

So funny listening to Steve insult the poor fish constantly 😂😂😂

Just dont guys

Your videos are always so helpful for whenever I come back to arc and your old intro gives me major school math video vibes

Have you watched Raasclark beat all Island bosses with a pack of toothy fish a pig and yuti? It’s quite amusing.

Can tuso grab it? This will definitely be the best way to tame it, although somewhat time consuming

Oh dear, cryopods just won't deploy out of the short range of a cryo refrig. So far this isn't going to be useful by most new players.

Good video as always :) I have been debating on getting ASA on my Ps5 Slim, mostly for single player. I was wondering if anyone has tried it, and how it performs on the console, as I played ASE on a PC. Trying to ask here since I mostly get mixed responses from checking forums etc. :D

Can they grab a frog?

I have tamed it with a baryonyx. The bary passes through double door, while the fish doesn't, so it's easily trapped.

Si-fact-in-us

They dont run when torpor rises tho, NO TRAP NEEDED

Was fully expecting there to be another dumb gimmick i have to do to tame this thing, thank god its just a basic tame

Step 1: turn off the game
Step 2: wait until they fix all the game breaking bugs first

It's such a dumb creature

Bo oh o wah uh innit

playing centre and these things seems to be everywhere... in packs. ill be casual exploring on my itchy and a pack will just shoot out of no where mouths gapping its terrifying 😂

Honestly there's an easier way to do it. Use one of the amphibious dinosaurs like sarco, kapra, or bary, and so something similar, except instead of a sign at the end, continue the sides to the shore. Draw agro and just run through the trap and onto shore, then around and pop the gate in at the entrance, or close it if you already installed the gate. This way not only is there zero change the toothy fish can glitch through the sign, but you can even set up a shack on shore to have narcos stored up, plus your generator and cryofridge if you're on official doing this.

I have decided to delete ark ps5 untill they optimize it I’m tired of playing ark at 25 fps and I really want to play even if they can only get to 40fps as long as it stable

i learned that the hardest thing about taming the nibblers are their ridiculously high torpor
i saw a max level with my awesome spyglass and the thing had like 15k torpor, that's 3 times more than a mammoth of the same level
so if you're using tranq arrows and a crossbow that deal lets say 300 torp including letting it increase for a couple secs after the initial burst
that would mean a max level would take around 50 arrows to KO
that is ludicrous for a mid tier creature that you can ride before a beaver
its a real good thing that they don't run away and you can just manhandle them to sleep with a tanky enough sarco and plenty of tranqs

i find them stuck on the beach all the time to tame... ahhh ark

Y’all making taming them super extra all you need is a basilosaur and have them chase you up to the beach once they’re inland they become incapacitated and all you need to do is knock it out .ps don’t use this methods near birds they will kill your potential tame shot them

Catch it on shore flopping how I got mine 🤪 😎

do you need Bob’s tall tales to tame it ?

Cant you use a harpoon to reach the trap faster?

Thanks Steve
