First time I actually enjoyed ark was when I played in the south eastern shores. I was really close to the massive cave. When I was JUST level 10, 5 (yeah you heard me, 5!) spawned on my island, and they just seemed to multiply. I got killed multiple times by these shizs, and often wondered what was the red and orange aura around one of them. After immigrating and sacrificing many times to drive them away from my base, I finally settled in the massive cave place. When I started exploring, I saw Carnos, And thought that those on my island were carnos. But however, as I learned about more of the game, I finally figured out they were Allos. After a Bronto destroyed my base, I raged and finally settled my permanent base in the southern islets. There, I started my true journey on ark. The first large carnivorous Dino I tamed was a Spino. I eventually made a Spino army, and finished off those allos, who was still roaming on my base, gaining access to the massive cave and it’s artifact. I now play on a server called “Free Kit and Admin help”, and served as an admin due to my skills. Allos, though they were annoying, brought me courage and I was finally able to defeat them and become a pro player of the ark.
