Gogohorse Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi, recently in the swamp I got a leech stuck to me and I couldn’t get it off, we tried another person stabbing it and we tried to burn it with a camp fire. None of these worked, does anyone know how to take them off for the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthaNyan Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 1. Another person can remove it manually - an option to do so will appear on their radial menu if they interact with you. 2. Leeched person has to step on lit campfire and take damage from it to burn leech off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried both of those things, my brother could only open my gamer card and I almost died on a campfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does work with Lampreys in Aberration tho. Edit: just tested and it does work for normal leeches in Singleplayer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sphere Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I burned leeches off with a fire on my server. That was recently too with the latest patch. So it works on my unofficial server on the island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD026 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Have someone manually remove it, or just strip and die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedros Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Usually when one of my dinos gets a Leech on it, i just hit the dino with a torch, and it removes the Leech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainingmacro Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Make sure you have the debuff and not just the leech in your screen. When your dino gets leeched it may appear on your screen on your character. To remove it, remove it from the dino with the debuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArianaGaming Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hello, I know this is reported as a bug. Since it is just to die and spawn back in to a sleeping bag, to work around it. I doubt that it get a high priority on things to correct in the game. Regards, Ariana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annageckos Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Campfire works for me on PS4 singleplayer the island map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Campfire works for me on both our unofficial servers - Island leeches and Aberration lampreys. I never knew others could remove using the radial menu though, that's something to note for future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachBob2099 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hate to necro a thread, but google brought me here, and no one presented a clear solution. What is happening here, is that the leech is on the player's screen, but is not actually on their body. It is on the dinosaur they were riding. So, if you campfire yourself and can't get rid of the leech, you have to go back to your dinosaur and press 'e' to remove the leech that's on the dinosaur. Once done, the leech will be gone from your screen. Counter intuitive, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lessens the chance of losing a dino to a leech you didn't realize was there!

BeachBob2099 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Well, now that I know what's going on, it's a great thing. Before I figured it out, while I was burning myself to death twice, I was a little distraught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsquanch01 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I usually try to figure things out the hard way. I finally had to google it when it happened to me. Besides dying I didn't know how to get rid of them. You should be able to cut them off with a knife like Rambo lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
