ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Best caver for mobile, especially for the lava cave. Their jump ability is insane, and in mobile (at least, i don’t know for the other versions) they do not take fall damage. One problem though, when they’re swimming they can’t attack, so a pike or a harpoon at the ready would be useful for such cases. Remember to ALWAYS TAME A HIGH LEVEL ONE, it is worth the risk. Lvls 100+ are what you should go for. If you tame high level ones, no matter what cave you enter they’re not your match. Megalosaurus? Easy. Arthro? Snipe them while riding this guy, and this guy can endure arthropleuras as well, even with their return attacks. Araneos? Useless punks even this guy is much better than a shotgun, even a pump action. Need cementing paste but fear the beavers? Just go to the swamp, kill something, then let those neuras swarm up. In one sweep they’re all cementing paste. Want to swoop in a cave then take put the artifact as fast as possible? Use this guy. Warning, only recommended for the swamp cave, middle chamber, and the cave of the hunter on mobile. Also forgot to mention this makes the lava cave very easy, moreso on mobile with an easy to acquire ascendant sword. Bats? Slice ‘em up. Dilos in the lava cave? Use this guy’s sweep. Scorpions and araneos again? Just sweep them all. Btw when you tame a high lvl one it’s guaranteed that their melee dmg and health are not so low that they’d die in one hit. So you can leisurely put those levels into weight, which helps out a lot if you seriously need obsidian.
More Beelzebufo Utility Tips
Currently breeding an army of these guys. They can cover a lot of ground quickly with their jumps. I haven't even been mutating that long and their melee is over 600%, it can do 1200+ damage x3 with it's secondary attack. I have taken down alpha megs in the ocean and cleared the swamp cave many times with only two needed. On top of that, the gathering efficiency in cementing paste and Chitin is so good that I can fill a vault with cementing paste in 2-3 trips inside the cave. Excellent at gathering leech blood as well because you cannot get leeches on you while on this tame. It also cannot be affected by leeches. EZ pickens. 10/10 tame for any level of the game.
TIPP: (HOW TO GET TONS OF CEMENTING PASTE)
You all know that Beezebufo is one of the best best cemeting paste Collectors in the game. But it's hard to find some insects around the map. So i would recommend you to go inside the swamp cave with your Beezebufo and kill the insects inside the cave, because there are unbelievible much Magneuras spawning inside.
You should wear a chillie seit and take some healing potions with you so you dont die cause of the gas. I would also recommend to make the swing attack of the Beezebufo instead of the frontal attack because you dont have to aim if you do that.

Whoever said there aren’t beaver dams on Genesis, you are wrong. In the Arctic biome, follow the mountain down by the river to the “mission pond” where fishing takes place. Beavers and their dams do spawn there, I have a base near by as an exploit. Upscale this please 👍 sidenote: bugs run from your frog once tamed WHEN you are riding it. If you have it follow on aggro/atk your target you will gather much more cp
These little guys are pretty great. They are great for getting cementing paste and chitin. They are able to travel long distances by running and jumping. Just don't go up hill with him or you will run out of stamina. They can also travel fast. The tongue attacks knock torpor into the target and don't use much stamina. They are perfect for traveling in swamps. They can kill Titanoboas and sarcos with ease without taking any damage. Just upgrade the health and weight, and you got yourself a pretty great game that is a MUST-HAVE.
