What is the Phiomia in ARK: Survival Evolved?

Fighting the Phiomia

The Phiomia in ARK: Survival Evolved has no combat capabilities. Hitting one will make it run away, making it more challenging to kill or tame because of its decently fast movement speed. If you want to kill a Phiomia, it’s ideal to hit it with a weapon with a fast-attack speed, such as a sword, pike, or spear. It's also good to prepare a long-range weapon if it manages to run away.

How to Tame the Phiomia

Domesticating the Phiomia doesn’t typically require unique taming procedures, unlike other creatures, like the Rhyniognatha. Use the Phiomia’s docile nature to your advantage when taming it. In particular, attacking it will make it run away, but it’s susceptible to running into objects. So, you can build a trap nearby and lead the creature to that place. Begin the knockout and taming procedure when it can’t escape its prison. Also, note this creature’s favorite food to complete the taming process sooner than later:
  • Preferred Kibble: Basic Kibble
  • Preferred Food: Crops
Additionally, here are other food options you can feed a wild Phiomia to tame it:
  • Fresh Barley
  • Fresh Wheat
  • Soybean
  • Dried Wheat
  • Mejoberry
  • Berries

Phiomia Utility & Jobs

Domesticating a Phiomia can provide a new player with additional support for certain roles. Here are some roles you can assign to this creature if you decide to tame one:
  • Early-Game Transport: Leveling up the Phiomia’s speed can make it decently quick on land and sea
  • Cargo Carrier: New players can use the Phiomia’s decent maximum weight to transport goods
  • Fertilizer Producer: One Phiomia can produce more Medium Animal Feces than other tamed creatures
