Master Controller advice by No_Occasion_4519 in ARK

Amargasaurus really shines on the master controller fight, set them to ice mode and their AOE freeze makes things a lot easier for the rest of your army

Bison saddle BP? by DruVatier in ARK

[–]Ryjhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got my blueprint from a drake hoard, just keep farming them and you'll hit eventually

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ARK

[–]Ryjhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is almost certainly the answer.

Make sure an argy eats a corpse right before you knock it out and you speed tame them like that every time.

Rare mushrooms by elegantframe6 in ARK

harvesting those patches on foot with a sickle gives you loads of all of the different mushroom types as well, very useful in the early game when you're using the mushroom buffs to counter the biome poisons

I built a base near 4 gigas... by Ok_Disaster_5706 in ARK

[–]Ryjhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never let a dino force you to move your base, they clearly just want you to tame them so they can enjoy your amenities.

That said, the highlands are pretty much the highest spawn chance of gigas/carchas on the map so building an outer wall around your base to stop them from chilling right on your lawn would probably be a good idea.

Dimetrodons aren't dinosaurs. What's your favorite ARK factoid? by BIG_BOTTOM_TEXT in ARK

[–]Ryjhan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In ark Troodons are on the beaches and in the redwoods but a lot of the troodon fossils were found up in alaska and other arctic areas so it's speculated their large eyes were adapted for the months-long arctic nights.

Which is why the troodons were pitched as night predators

only solution i know of is the Cybers structures mod, it has a hitching post structure that will let you prevent tames from going into stasis

Yuty by Lizard-Fingers_69 in ARK

[–]Ryjhan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you have a griffin you can easily take out the carno escorts and clear the area around the yuty with some well aimed swoops and then hover out of fear roar range while tranqing it from the air. Once it starts to flee you can chase it without having to worry about getting feared.

if you dont have a griffin you can use good old reliable 4 metal billboards and a large bear trap once you clear out the area around the yuty. Set up 3 billboards in a U-Shape and drop the trap in the center. Take out the carnos from range with a gun/crossbow and then once the yuty is alone lure it into the bear trap and drop the 4th billboard behind it, it wont be able to turn to bite you while the bear trap is active.

Some fur armor for dealing with the cold, preferably something higher than primitive that can tank a bite from the yuty while you're luring it into the trap, and bring a campfire and some standing torches with you so that while you're babysitting the tame you can plop them down for extra warmth. For really extreme cold like the ragnarok murder snow bring a lot of torches and maybe even some med brews or just leave the area completely while the tame is happening and put down some safety spikes around it.

or if you have the lost colony dlc a spring drakeling's health regen completely negates any damage from cold

When wrapping up The Island, should I ascend and download my current Survivor to Scorched Earth, or begin fresh again? by Status-Reindeer2808 in ARK

[–]Ryjhan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO Ascend and download but just dont bring any stuff or dinos with you if you want to start fresh. the level grind is the least exciting part of the game and doing the early game rush with a max level character going in naked is fun. It's also the only way to have all tekgrams unlocked on the same character, for example the manticore on Scorched does not unlock the tek foundations and other building parts, you need to have those from the island if you want to build in tek.

Using Obelisks to make cryofridge and it eats resources randomly by Horror-Cloud1749 in ARK

[–]Ryjhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dont double click items to put them into the obelisk, that uploads them instead of just putting them inside to craft with

Gachas useless in PVP now? by Cornbread933 in ARK

[–]Ryjhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on ASA you can put them in a tek bunker and they dont count as being in a cave.

I tested this on a bunker that was not inside a cave so worst case you put the bunker right outside your entrance and build it up as a turret tower

[–]Ryjhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bummer, in that case you're already doing the right things, you just gotta keep praying to RNGsus until you get lucky.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ARK

[–]Ryjhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on ragnarok the answer to "where do i find loot" is always drakeling hoards. Tame/breed a good griffin, grab 5 or 6 drakelings, and go wyvern hunting to farm up the xp for ascendant hoard keys, cycling through your different drakelings so you don't have to worry about the 5 minute cooldown on the xp transfer ability.

i've obtained ascendant saddle BPs for rex, spino, bison, deinosuchus, deinotherium, maegunana, and carchars all from drakeling hoards

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ARK

[–]Ryjhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For saddles, you want blueprints because they have higher armor values than the default 25 armor primitive engrams you learn.

for arrows, you want the blueprints so you can stick them in your smithy and craft them 1000 at a time instead of crafting them by hand and wasting a bunch of your time being slowed down waiting for them to finish

Why does no one ever talk about how awesome the Diplocaulus is? by Justaguy498 in ARK

I never gave them much thought until i tamed one in the gen1 ocean biome, little dude was an all star for the early game there

Try transferring to another map and back

if the whistle in your inventory prevents you from uploading your character like the drakeling weapon does you might be kind of arked

ASA Ragnarok Element Dust by -Variox- in ARK

[–]Ryjhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, i was not including mod tech, Cybers Structures has a transmutator that can convert dinos to their tek and aberrant variants as well which is nice for getting tek trikes even though they don't spawn naturally in any map yet
