More Gen 2 tips:
I’ve only really found shadowmanes in the south of Rockwell’s garden, so watch out there.
THERE ARE BLOODSTALKERS!!! (South Rockwell’s garden, not sure what they latch onto, maybe the big flowers things.) I learned this the hard way.
WATCH OUT FOR PURLOVIAS!!!! They ARE in the Eden Biome (again, learned this the hard way)
When a Carniflora grabs you, it gives you torpor, so you will KO and fall out of it. When you wake up, you have enough time to run away.
When you grab Mutagen from the glowing plants in Rockwell’s innards, a swarm of mini-summoner things called a Macrophage will come out and attack you. They’re kind of like insect swarms just worse. Multiple Summoners will also come at you. I almost died for one piece of Mutagen, it better be worth it.
According to the wiki, you can find Feroxes on some Eden Zone beaches??? Ferox spawns are messed up for me, they weren’t spawning for me on Genesis 1, so I can’t confirm that.
The Eden Zone may seem safe, but there are R-Daeodons, R-Direwolves, regular direwolves, direbears, etc. I’d suggest that until you have a good mount, keep yourself in the air with your Tek suit.
FEDERATION TEK SUITS DO NOT NEED ELEMENT TO RUN!!! This is game changing because as soon as you start out, you can fly around and swim around very quickly. Unfortunately, the base Tek you start out with only gives 20 armor a piece, at least for me.
Shadowmanes do not need saddles and come with natural armor. Unlike some other creatures, for example trikes which just take less damage from certain areas, the Shadowmane comes with a piece called Shadowmane Natural Armor automatically in its saddle slot once tamed. This cannot be taken off. I got a Shadowmane with ramshackle natural armor??? That gives 121 armor, pretty epic.
I still haven’t tried the minigun yet, but the Tek Bow is amazing! It’s ammo is element shards, and it basically transforms those into arrows about the power of metal arrows! The arrow flies like a bullet and does more damage if you pull it back farther.
HOVERSAIL!!! This thing is epic. I don’t know the controls on console, since I play Pc. But, it skims right over the ground and water. It’s very fast, you can hold down the button you would to run to make it go faster. You can immediately change directions with the press of a button, or pivot completely. You can make it jump, or a quick boosted jump. While in the air, you can do flips and trick!!
Shadowmanes have a dash attack, where you can target multiple opponents and dash trough them instantly, dealing damage and stunning them for a few.
That’s about it for now!!
Swamp
Haven’t done much in Genesis 2 yet, since I’ve only played it once. However, I started building a Tek base in the Eden Zone, and tamed a Maewing and a breeding pair of decent-level shadowmanes. I swear. This map is SO good. There’s even a hidden ocean biome!!! If you want to get to the ocean, check out the weird tank thing in the lake (hopefully you know what I’m talking about.) At the bottom of it in the lake, there’s a tunnel into this awesome ocean biome.
A few other tips:
WATCH OUT FOR THE SOUTHERN ROCKWELL’S GARDEN!!! There are a lot of bugs there, including bloodstalkers, and shadowmanes spawn a lot there.
Tame a Maewing first thing!!! The saddle unlocks at level 19, they’re easy to tame, and incredibly good at traversing the map.

Watched the gen 2 gameplay trailer, makes me very excited for the DLC, and those missions are definitely connected to the story. I wonder if you can actually use bosses from the previous maps, because in the gameplay trailer, a survivor was riding the dragon, and there was the broodmother and Megapithecus on the ground. That’s probably in the boss arena, but I can’t wait. Now just for the 58 GB to install... (it’s at 35%)

Ummm Lamprey, go to Brick Dye, someone’s said something about you.
-Apex
Just so everyone knows, I’m probably going to thoroughly explore all the biomes, then write a guide to the biome in specific creatures. For eden zone, Mae wing or Stryder. Space is for astrodelphis or voidwyrm, Rockwell’s innards in noglin (people say it’s in Rockwell’s garden, but it was shown in Rockwell’s innards) and then shadow mane for Rockwell’s garden. Probably where they will be, so expect those to be there eventually.
-Lamprey
Well, there goes any use for my 337% damage ascendant longneck rifle now that we have a Tek bow.
Swamp
Just saw this, but apparently if you go to the wiki, then to genesis part 2, something called “Plant species R” appears. When you click it, it shows the tentacle from the federation crop plot reveal, basically confirming that it is a plant species.
-Lamprey
There won’t be every creature from all maps on gen 2 (probably wyvern and Phoenix, we gonna have voidwyrm) but there will be a LOT of creatures, which the devs confirmed.
-Lamprey
Been playing on the island, and I defeated every boss on alpha, with rexes, and dragon wasn’t the hardest thing, but it was scary. Just defeated alpha overseer, which I expected to be much harder, but now I’m on scorched!
-Lamprey
People, I’m going to start writing again. I want to write my Genesis part 2 story as soon as I can play the map, so be prepared for some speed writing.
Swamp
The dev’s said that the voidwyrm isn’t just gonna be a tek wyvern, in the twitch gaming weekly stream. So expect a few different attacks, or just not expect to be the normal wyvern with a bite and a breath attack.

OMFG GUYS THEY RELEASED AN IMAGE OF THE NEW X-CREATURES IN GEN PT2!
Look it up, Syntac did a video on it. They’re going to be called Gen-R creatures or something, and we’re getting biome variants for gigas, Thylas, carnos, new Allo variant, Direwolf, bronto, even snow owl and velonasaur are going to have R-Variants in Gen pt 2! There’s even more than this, I can’t list it all.
Very excited Swamp
It’s the second Genesis part 2 delay.
First delay: “here is the voidwyrm, an awesome new creature we’re releasing. Also, Genesis part 2 is delayed for 2 months.”
Second Delay: “here’s the best music ever. Also, we’re delaying it another week.”
Me: 😐
Swamp
7 days until gen 2, or by the time this releases it’ll probably be may 27, which would be 6 days. Pretty excited, so what’s the first thing everyone will probably do? For me it’s tame the shadow mane, and if it’s it hard like genesis part 1, do the easy missions (yes, missions are confirmed and from what I’ve heard you will bring hexagons over to gen 2) and then explore Rockwell’s innards, see if it’s confusing or easy to navigate, it looks like that one level from halo 3. Probably then get the mini gun and test it out in Rockwell’s garden and watch as everything probably dies, or either the I die first. Although the mini gun is supposed to be for bosses though. And then 100% gonna get that egg incubator, because then mutations won’t be the most annoying thing, and that’s pretty much it.

So Metacritic critic reviews are more mixed than positive, and for user reviews it’s more negative reviews than positive and mixed reviews.
-Apex
So this thing called Metacritic that gives games and movies a score out of 100 only gave Ark 70. And 70 isn’t even a good score on Metacritic.

Maybe...I’ve been busy lately, I don’t really have too much time to chat
