ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Welcome back GitezGood! Was wondering where you went.

Hey Break-it, just read Chapter 14 and it was great! Going through the Swamp is a dangerous endeavor for sure, but it’s the only way they’ll be able to return home. Also the Raptor attack was cool, especially the Alpha one which I noticed with the red cloud. I’m guessing that also means an Alpha Carno and Rex exist somewhere on the island as well. Bruce must be really strong though if he can just suplex and throw a raptor to the ground… then again he’s The Son of Rockwell. The Alpha Raptor is definitely the one that’s still alive. Anyway it was a nice chapter

Oh yeah and I also read Chapter 15. I suppose finding camp is tough when your leader is dead. Also interesting Ryker… I hope we get to learn more about Amanda tho and especially how she got with Larry. But mostly about her past in general. I’m surprised they managed to take down three Carnos… me and my fam could never. Also I loved the detail about the element calling out to Bruce since he’s son of rockwell.

Nazgul, the Prologue for Ascendant was really cool! (cool name btw). So we got six dudes, one seems to be a transhuman / Homo Deus, and a bunch of other quirky guys. I suppose the “Unreal” program is supposed to just be ARK Survival Evolved as a game, and unknowingly they accidentally allowed Rockwell become a part of the system. If ARK Survival Evolved is a simulation / program in this world though, then how could the ghost-like entity exist? Curious. I’m interested to see where this goes and I’ll definitely be around to read the first chapter.

PrimalApex, Chapter 17 of Ultimus was amazing! This certainly was the coolest Paul of all time, perhaps an Ultimus one. And there’s also someone named Jonathan that’s a part of their team? Interesting. I wonder why he’s not mentioned much in TOT. It was a great interaction between Paul and Andrew and it’s leading me to believe that, all in all, Paul is the leader of this group of survivors. Paul’s past also must be linked to horseback riding, perhaps. His mention of the watch also links his origins to the 21st century or around that time period, perhaps earlier. He also seems to be very observant. All in all he fits to be a good leader. I still wonder what Jonathan will be like, however, from what it sounds like, he doesn’t seem to get along well with Sylas.

Journey’s Chapter 16 and 17 were also very awesome! I guess we’re making it onto SE now. Chapter 16 was definitely better than the old draft, that’s for sure. Also my theory about Nightfall being brought along with Forest was correct, along with the fact they ended up on Scorched Earth. This means that they should eventually end up on Aberration, and perhaps then even the Dead Earth. From some sneak peeks on Fandom, the rest of the Five ended up on different ARKs entirely. From what it sounds like, Crimson ended up on SE as well, Spark ended up in some peaceful area (probably one of the custom maps), Nyx ended up on the Earth (bad luck), and Rust ended up somewhere in the Redwoods (however I believe it would make the most sense if he ended up in Valguero, due to his species originating from there). Because of this Forest and Nightfall should meet up with Crimson soon, and most likely the next antagonist of Journey.

The Pegomastax calling others thieves though is some sort of twisted irony though, it has to be…

And of course mandatory “Welcome to Scorched Earth” moment.

Prince Coal POV was also cool, I guess I should’ve expected him to react worryingly toward the disappearance of the Five. And the strange beast that ended up on Fjordur was Fenrirsulfr! I wasn’t expecting that. I thought it would have been another inter-ARK traveling creature, but I suppose not since he came from another dimension within Fjordur. Also looks like he’s the world-ruling type of guy okay. And WOW okay killing off Avalanche… got it (he was boutta die anyway its aight). And what could have saved Coal? Hmmm. There might be some other Fjordur creature out there that I do not know of that is capable of taking Fenirsulfr down.

I hope we get to learn more about Fenrirsulfr’s motives and why he is really doing this. Otherwise he feels like a Jethezzar 2.0 if you know what I mean.
