Spawn a tamed Leedsichthys at any level

gmsummon spawns it already tamed. Set the level below — it's the pre-tame level, and ARK adds up to a 50% taming bonus on top, so the final creature lands higher. Change the number, copy, paste.

cheat gmsummon "Leedsichthys_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

A gmsummon-tamed Leedsichthys still needs a saddle — it isn't force-tamed. Want it instantly, level aside? Use cheat SummonTamed Leedsichthys_Character_BP_C (random level).

ARK Leedsichthys FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Leedsichthys do in ARK?
Cannot be tamed — it is the largest fish in ARK and is aggressively hostile toward rafts and motorboats, ramming them repeatedly for devastating damage. Players can passively harvest Raw Fish Meat and Raw Prime Fish Meat from it without killing it, receiving random amounts every 10 minutes by approaching it with a container. Leedsichthys is a piscivore. It is untameable and functions as more of an environmental hazard than a usable creature. Developers patched it to no longer spawn near shorelines, pushing it into deep ocean.
How do you use the Leedsichthys's ability in ARK?
Untameable. To harvest fish meat passively, lead the Leedsichthys into an enclosed ocean pen and approach it with a container open. Tossing Giant Bee Honey into the water near it temporarily pacifies its aggression. For raft-destruction griefing in PvP, simply sail a raft close to trigger its aggression. The passive fish-meat harvest mechanic works best in a penned deep-ocean enclosure. It cannot be leveled or ridden. In PvP, players lure it toward enemy rafts or motorboats to destroy them — the Leedsichthys deals massive structural damage to watercraft. Cold-water maps with deep ocean spawn points (The Island deep sea, Ragnarok ocean) are reliable locations.
What is the Leedsichthys good for in ARK?
Raw Fish Meat and Raw Prime Fish Meat harvesting (passive, without killing it); destroying enemy rafts and watercraft in PvP; acting as a natural hazard deterrent in ocean-base PvP.
What is the Leedsichthys spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Leedsichthys_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Leedsichthys in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Leedsichthys_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Leedsichthys at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "Leedsichthys_Character_BP_C" <level>. The number is the pre-tame level — ARK adds up to a 50% taming bonus, so a value of 100 ends up around level 150. To hit a target level, divide it by 1.5. A gmsummon creature still needs a saddle to ride.
What's the difference between summon, SummonTamed and gmsummon?
summon drops a wild Leedsichthys at a random level. SummonTamed gives you a tamed one but at a random level you can't set. gmsummon spawns it tamed at the level you specify — the one most people want.
Do ARK spawn commands work in single player and on servers?
Yes. In single player the cheat prefix is optional and no password is needed. On a dedicated or non-dedicated session you must run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> once, then prefix each spawn with cheat. Set that admin password without hand-editing files using our free ARK config generators.
Are there other versions of the Leedsichthys?
Yes — Leedsichthys has 1 spawnable variant (Alpha). Each has its own class name, listed with copy-paste commands in the variants table above.
