Leedsichthys Egg & Breeding Calculator

The baby Leedsichthys takes approximately 3 days and 20 hours to fully mature at default rates - over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The dinosaur is in its mother's womb, requiring time and care from the mother for successful gestation and birth.

The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

Juvenile

10% - 50%

37:02:13

The dinosaur reaches the juvenile stage, where it can now eat from a feeding trough, reducing the need for direct feeding.

Adolescent

50% - 100%

46:17:46

The dinosaur reaches the adolescent stage, becoming more independent and able to follow you while continuing to grow toward full maturity.

The Leedsichthys's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Leedsichthys gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Leedsichthys babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Leedsichthys raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Leedsichthys is an aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Water classification.

With 500 base Stamina, the Leedsichthys has solid stamina reserves. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Leedsichthys has respectable melee power. At 4,400 base HP, the Leedsichthys is an absolute bullet sponge. A base Weight of 1800 means an enormous weight pool.

The Leedsichthys roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. A wild Leedsichthys is worth 15 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
