ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

Made a base on herbivore island and it was SO annoying that they kept stomping or just walking all over my things. Eventually tried killing one and it failed. Lost half my tames. War was on. I learned that while they can swim, they cannot fight off sharks or water species as long as your in sight line still. Killed three of them by leading them into the ocean and hovering above with a pteradon whilst the sharks did the work for me. Still got prime meat, and the shark only managed to destroy one of the body’s. Easiest way to rid yourself of these humongous pests. Shoot from a good length away with cross bow, and if needed swoop in and nip them on the head with a flier to keep their attention on you. Happy flying, don’t die :)

Don’t touch giant blue eggs in the forest if you value existence
Tip : Don't put wooden / metal spike walls near your base if you live in an area with a lot of sauropods.
this is why : since they like to wander around, There's a chance that they will get stabbed by the spikes when they wander near your base. And they will get mad at you, kill your tames, and wreck your base.
so please be careful and think twice before setting up spikes near your base.
thank you for reading.
Warning! Legs can look like tree trunks when farming wood with a Castorides. Brontos don't like things chewing their legs.
If you are being chased by a huge carnivore like a rex, spino, giga, carcharo, or rhynio just run through a brontosaurus legs as fast as you can as the huge carnivore will stop attacking you and instead attack the bronto and most likely kill it. If instead you are being chased by a carno then too bad because they don't attack brontos.

Tame it. Move it to a drop upload it and the download it at a drop next to your base for quick delivery!
I was busy getting 13 of my tames on my upgraded raft
(It was dark) then I accidentally punched it with a metal hatchet
The 13 turned into 3
I had 4 dilos 3 Dodds 1 phiomia 2 paras 1 mosschop 1 anklo
After the incident I had 1 Para 1 mosschop 1 anklo
my bloody legendary bronto clapped 2 rexs and another bronto
So you know how they will save you when you run underneath them with a predator on your tail? It’s really kind of them. Just be careful that you don’t get caught in their sweeping attack because they will hit you and launch you into that raptor pack over there
