Everything About ASA's New Fish | Xiphactinus Taming, Abilities, and Spawn Code | Ark: Ascended

[@robertyoung2627]

holy shit someone who actually does meaningful tests, gives actual stats, and explains stuff past surface level clickbait info

[@intoxicatedmyself]

Doth is the goat 🫡

[@acoustyx6063]

The higher the melee of the xiph, the less damage you have to do to a creature to one shot it. It can also pick smaller land dinos and fliers, imagining someone on a pt getting picked out of the sky by a jumping fish gives me joy

[@Doth_]

Yeah when i was testing ine shotting a player it only worked on capped armor when i leveled up my melee. Also, the wiki for the mod this fish came from said it could pick dinos with a drag weight under 210. Didn't test but its something.

[@TeacupDragon33]

I was so annoyed there was yet another aggressive ocean creature- but hearing that it attacks the other ocean creatures is actually really nice. The ocean really needed this. Very informative video!

[@sullentamp9140]

No it really didn’t, now your in progress tames are at serious risk. It’s a terrible feature

[@spicylizards4714]

​@@sullentamp9140cry about it

[@thomasdevlin5825]

I've heard they mostly only spawn on the outer edges of the ocean too, which is really nice because the modded version was a menace to society. They could grab entire sarcos and wouldn't let go of them until they were dead, which made doing anything in the water terrifying if you didn't have something big like a megalodon or a mosa

[@sullentamp9140]

@@thomasdevlin5825 yeah that’s nuts, I’m really not liking them, I’m primarily an ocean player, and this ruins the vibe…

[@kakkaduu22]

To be honest, I wasn't even angry when I got killed by them for the first time, i just felt a little bit nostalgic to the times when everything was new to me and I had literal fear of going into the ocean. 😅 Nevertheless, RIP my beloved Mantarius, he didn't make it through the first encounter with these fish 😂

[@CollegeKidification]

YT randomly suggested this vid. Did not disappoint, great video!

[@wastedwatts]

Just had a Lv 150 female trap herself under my fort just off the shoreline. Had some help from a very helpful player who had the proper Kibble and the tranq darts for the longneck rifle. I was trying to use tranq arrows and a crossbow, but it looked like it was doing more harm than good and I didn't have the kibble. Dave talked me through the process and he is obviously a very experienced player with dragons, the big bug and other high level tames.

[@soggycarrot3319]

The 150 I found fought a level 100 moss and lost

[@wastedwatts]

@@soggycarrot3319 Yes, it is often the case if health and meled is not up to par with the target. Most wild critters have a lot of health and their melee is often a tad lower, but it is the health that normally wins the day. I am assuming the wild critter doesn't have the advantage of more bites per hit, which they often have. Generally speaking, one on one is not a good option.

[@dimess]

Another great doth upload bro is like a wiki himself

[@BiggDaddysCheese]

I'm going beach bob hunting with that thing and it might be my new favorite thing

[@Doth_]

It feels so satisfying to just explode people

[@shivx1]

We tamed a 150 Female last night on our official pve center server. One thing to note about that is in pve you can't pick wild dinos so the grab/thrash thing doesn't work. It still dashes and does damage but you can't grab anything. On larger creatures it was giving the buff but it didn't appear to be doing the gnash (not completely sure on this). It seems like the regen has either been nerfed or doesn't work in pve either

[@erickhart8046]

Thx for the deep dive.😊

[@Doth_]

good pun

[@Crookanator]

Amazing video as always! Will you be covering the ceratosaurus?

[@Doth_]

2mro hopefully.

[@Junior_Flow1121]

*Pro Tip* If you use a base crossbow, shoot it once and WAIT 7 seconds (7 Mississippi's) then shoot again and repeat. This increases the chance of KO'ing it rather then killing it. Oh and don't try taming it on land, it will knock out but instantly die when it wakes up. Don't unmount it either or Instant death.

[@DromeoGaming]

2:19 Weird, i have used this fish in my singleplayer collecting supply drops from carno island and while im collecting the drop it does not die when i dismount. Idk where you got that info from...

[@scooter-ic1nk]

Fish out of water, fish out of WATER!!!

[@Neeko90]

You've covered more info on this then most other arktubers, I would love to know how they would fare in the underwater caves tho. Currently I like to ride a weightheavy basilo (to carry all the loot) while commanding a pack of 5-6 megs. Trouble with the megs however is that every once in a while they breach the surface for random reasons and instantdie.. fucking annoying. Once had 5 out of 6 megs do that on me in the middle of the hardest underwater cave, so dumb. These guys dont seem to have that weakness, and more so then that seems to be able to heal themselves. Could you test this possibly? I don't have enough hours in the day to do it myself, and you seem to be the one trying to make some youtube monehs.. :>

[@Doth_]

Thanks! and I would think that a pack of them could do just fine in caves with good stats and saddle, but the sharks bleed is just so consistent and strong that i would think that you would notice a drop in dps if you took them in instead of sharks. Specifically due to the damage reduction of dunkies armor, mate boost, and alpha boost

[@Neeko90]

@@Doth_ mm then the question remains, does the increase in dps from sharks outweigh the benefit of having fishies that doesnt randomly die near the surface level, plus however in/significant the heal might turn out to be after a long ocean run. :> Ill probably give it a try but will be a while before Ive properly tested it.

[@Doth_]

@@Neeko90 it's really up to you and your server settings lol

[@sebastiengelinas696]

are they good enough to clear the Cavern of Lost Hope ?

[@joeygamingnl2724]

only problem I have with the Xiph is the Megs existence, it just seems way better as a pack creatures just worse as a mount (but it does have a tek saddle too)

[@dinosambo7881]

mind you, the fish isn't actually "exploding", it's the fish completely swallowing it.

[@Doth_]

it explodes into a blood cloud

[@hololiveforever9455]

So if I get this right if people breed them up they can probably one shot stuff?

[@Doth_]

small dinos yeah

[@jalenb4444]

So is the secondary attack bleed just the deinonychus stacked bleed? It sounds like it

[@Doth_]

idk how the deinoychus bleed worked exactly so I couldnt say.

[@sullentamp9140]

Does it aggro to every other wild ocean wild? Or just smaller ones?

[@thomasdevlin5825]

I'm pretty sure I remember them attacking pesiosaurs in ASE back when it was still a mod, so probably

[@the0god968]

I watched a small group of them wreck a high lvl alpha Meg and a group of them only one of the fish were over lvl 130

[@sullentamp9140]

@@the0god968 wow, now their taking alpha kills from us in the ocean too, ocean players always get shafted…

[@williamm.3612]

Why did they make it impassible for the rafts to transit from ocean to interior rivers on ASA island map?

[@Doth_]

on ase there were a couple spots where you could. It was not fun going throught the swamp with a boat but it was possible. Havent tried on asa though

[@williamm.3612]

@@Doth_ I have tried at all points where you could on ASE. And no go, cleared all spawns etc. It was fun, i cleared the tree spawns and lived up river in the swamp, sent out my battle rafts - alot of fun. ASA however, all spots are blocked - but you can place a new raft/motorboat in the interior rivers. It kinda sucks, because one super cool new ASA metal meta is a dunky - in the underwater pool with the Island submerged metal nodes. Legit, easist method imo as a small or solo tribe. But...I cannot float out of the rivers to ocean now, so lame :(
