Tips & Strategies
Chapter 17 is out, I hope I got the characters right, but if I didn’t we can just say it was the black obelisk feeding on their emotions.
Hope you guys are okay with what I did for the black obelisk, I know that’s a pretty big chunk of lore to add in but, it won’t always make them turn on each other like that, it just fed on their distrustful emotions and amplified them, kinda like Lokis staff did to the avengers in Avengers 1

Just found out something really useful about Brontos! You can use them to transport goods a long way, but sometimes you have more than the bronto can carry, so, if you pack your resources on something like a high level parasaur or iguanodon, and put it on the platform saddle, it only takes the Dinos drag weight, not resource weight, allowing you to carry tons of materials at half the weight!
How to tame tuso
1 get a tame. I don’t see why turtles are so good at taming, meg worked fine but either will work. lvl up heath
2 search deep sea, I found 3 on brutal from the bottom left corner of the map to the top left corner of the map.
3 if you have soothing balm use it but I didn’t need it. use black pearls takes 50 at a time but if you did use balm you can use cooked prime meat takes 30 at a time I think.
4 go on a killing spree in the sea to open spawn spots for tuso.
5 when you find it, kill all eels, mantas, and any other hostile Dino’s near it.
6 tame by letting it grab your tame, then feeding it the pearls or prime meat.
It’s OFFICIAL:
You can only acquire a Fenrir (lvl150) after defeating the Fenrirsūlfr (Fjourd boss) the resulting tame is delivered in a cryopod after the boss dies.
The reason Dododex say it’s a knockout tame is because if you spawn a wild Fenrir you can knock one out and tame it that way, the only down side being the Fenrir CANT spawn in the wild
Apex, WHAT?! I can’t believe they are doing this this is great!! The cerato deserves it for sure, I think others that should be base game are dienotherium (elephant) and brachiosaurus, idk about some of the others, the acro would be awesome but would it make gigas and charcars obsolete? And conca hasn’t even got an ascended mod yet, idk if garuga ever will because we basically got it with the fasola. The dinosuchus (alligator) would be kinda cool but also would make swamps even more annoying.. I know they won’t add garugas newest thing (the weird sea creature) because it’s a premium mod. The archolong (sea turtle, yes I know I’m butchering these names..) would be cool as well, but they should put it on the center. And then as for the two unreleased ones the velociraptor and duck Dino I can’t remember the name of, I’m really excited for those but Garuga hasn’t even finished them so I doubt wildcard would add them, yet.
This is great, people complain about Wildcards delays and stuff but they really aren’t that slow and when they do add things they are always incredible.

Seriously you can pick up a mammoth with a quetz but not a allosaurus that’s just a bunch bullcrap.
Idk why i find these guys cute there’s defo something wrong with me.
—TIP TIME—
PASSIVE, AGGRESSIVE, OR NEUTRAL?
Theris are aggressive, only if you approach within touching distance or hit them first. The Explorer notes are slightly misleading, saying that they are full aggro. Basically just don’t bother them and they chill.
TAMING
The easiest way to tame a Theri is through a trap (search one on YouTube or just use one with metal billboards) BUT be wary as those long claws can slice through thatch and wood! KEEP IN MIND that they are herbivores (idk how because they go on rampages) so make sure you have berries on hand or it’s favourite exceptional Kibble at hand. AND make sure to bring a plethora or narcotics/biotoxin as torpor SUCKS.
USES
Theris are the ultimate gatherers, having 3 different attacks, each gathering different things. The primary attack, which utilises the claws, is good for damaging enemies and clearing areas while also getting wood. It mainly harvests meat from corpses. The secondary attack, which is a bite, is extremely useful for gaining hide from corpses and berries from bushes. The tertiary attack, or, as I like to call it, the tickle attack, literally is the Theri just tickling. This does DOT (damage over time) during the animation, landing a few hits, and is extremely useful for fiber and thatch.
That just about does it for this tutorial, if you would like more please use the arrow to the sky! (This is my first tutorial btw)
Aight peace out,

How to tame Megalosaurus(Mobile)(You could try this on pc and console I guess)
1.Be sure that the time of day you are taming this dinosaur is day, Megalosaurus are nocturnal and will gas(sprint)on you when they find you, when day, they are slow.
2.Load a crossbow with tranq arrows.
3. Get raw prime meat and raw meat.
4.Go to the Central Cave.
5.Attempt to avoid all giant insects, Onycs and Titanoboas.
6.If you see something lying down, that’s the megalo.
7.Shoot tranq arrows at Megalo.
8.When megalo falls down, immediately put meats in inventory.
9.While waiting, I recommend you hunting the other giant critters, just avoid arthropleuras. Hunt titanoboas and other insects.
10.When megalo is awake after taming it, you have tamed the rare megalosaurus!
To knock it out, use any sort of explosive (Grenades are cheap and have early unlock) and throw it at the Fasola while it's underground. It will look like a pile of sand and shouldn't react if you go up to it.
As soon as the explosion goes off, run up to the Fasola and mount it. You only have a few seconds to do this. Once you're on, try to find any nearby rocks/bones/etc and run into them. Every rock you hit will increase torpor and control. If control runs out, you will be dismounted.
DO NOT GO ON CLIFFS !! If the Fasola goes into the air at all, you will automatically dismount and lose all progress. Depending on your rates, it could take a long time to gain enough torpor.
TL;DR : Explode it, mount it, hit rocks, avoid cliffs.

Deab bab, Wait What!!!! Wildcard!!! You beauty! You finally did it!!!! Ark Addition Creatures are being added into the base game after so long of waiting and wishing!!!!! While I’m slightly annoyed they waited until after mods became cross platform, but I don’t care!! This has been something I’ve always wanted to see since when… they first came out!!!!! I really wondering what the second one will be?!?! Conca, maybe Deinotherium or possibly Deinosuchus? I don’t know, but I’m excited!!!!!

From Ben
PrimalApex i think thats really funny, we could totally do that! Then they could be disappointed and get another villain (maybe one from Journey?)
Thinking of it now i do have an idea for an "Omega Titan". It would be like a King Titan with elements from every story, (a medallion from TROTP, super high tech stuff from Ultimus, tentacles of Rockwell from Hopes Cry, etc). What do you guys think? I dont think we should bring this guy in like a few chapters later, maybe some last villain ultimate showdown type thing. I also wouldnt think the Omega Titan is responsible for creating TOT or the obelisks or bringing any of the characters to TOT. It was created because.. the obelisks were tampered with way too much maybe, so it caused WAY too many characters and elements from stories to surge into TOT? Idk well figure it out i think its cool.
Not every creature can “eat” the pheromone that the males drop.. like this tip so Dododex can see and add which creatures can eat it and which ones can’t.
I know some that cannot:
Megatherium
Stego
Tek Creatures
Anky
Doeds
Sarco
Baryonyx
Carno
Managarmr
Some that can eat:
Wyverns
Rex
Quetzal
Maewing
Trike
With more testing we could have it set up fully and implemented into DodoDex
You can STEAL WYVERN eggs using the invisibility ability at night
Also for bringing my villain in TOT. Yeah, that might need to be discussed more in detail later considering that my main villain is The King Titan, unless you actually consider that the corrupted sentient being/material he uses as tool to make more corrupted legionaries for his army as a character. Then I have two. But we could do a whole funny scene where Ember and Drain use the obelisk and it almost instantaneously becomes dark and these two ginormous glowing cyan eyes appear and a evil laugh just for The King Titan to get shrunk down to the size of a raptor or something. I think it can be a pretty funny scenario if written just write. But other then that, I don’t really got any lower grade villains.
