ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Rate Tips
I play ark mobile on Brutal difficulty(xp gain is nonexistent and wild creatures go up to level 450) and this has been my most valuable tame since I started. Yes, it is a coward, but it is crazy useful. Mine is level 407 after taming, and it has survived EVERYTHING the game has thrown at it so far. I highly recommend taming one as soon as you start the game(not difficult to do and I tamed mine while at level one.) Here are the main advantages:
1: Tanky, so you can use it to take attacks from something while trying to knock it unconscious. Also, you
don't really need to worry about it dying if yours is a decent level,(A level 50 one can have about a thousand health in the wild and might gain a lot more after taming if you are lucky.
2: Crazy good at gathering resources(In a resource rich area, mine collected almost 5000 thatch, a thousand wood and a thousand berries in the span of 3 in game days. Set it to wander if you want it to go collect things for you)
3: Surprisingly strong. While attempting to tame a knocked out stego, accidently killed it with a single attack(Around 300 damage, and yes, I know mine is a ridiculously high level, but my level 40 one with mate boost and a few points in melee hits for about 80).
4: Because they're pretty easy to tame and pretty light on resources to do so, even if it is a high level one (mine only took around 11 berries and a good deal of patience.) You get a lot out of taming one, and because they are easy to get, they are a must have for new players.
