ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
I wish there was like an attachment like a camera or something attached to a tamed compy’s back. And you can control it and look around through the camera while using the compy to run around and look. I think that is a good way to scout a tribe I wish there was something like this in the game. The camera needs gasoline to be activated just needs to be put in the compy’s inventory.
Up of u think it is too expensive too tame
What is the point of taming it WHAT!!??!
Compys are more trouble than they are worth, but we all tame them, so here’s a guide to help you out.
1. Get some prime meat, it is already max effectiveness so having mutton doesn’t matter. In asa babies drop prime and are a great source because they drop a LOT
2. I recommend tranq arrows, because fists will likely kill it, and it will bite you, and the 1 to 3 ish tranqs you’ll need aren’t expensive
3. Knock it out and feed it, it is a very quick tame so just wait for it to tame, and you shouldn’t need narcotics because it tames so fast. You can bola it if it is too hard to hit, just wait for it to walk up to you and stare so you can hit it while it’s motionless
Happy taming!
P.S. I am making an in depth taming guide for every creature in ark, so make sure to check my other tips. They all follow this format with Happy taming! at the end. Please raise it to the sky if it is helpful so it can help others
Guys they only take with mutton, prime fish or reg prime
Compy, the most reckless idiot, attacking my lvl 400 wyvern...
They die from starvation REALLY FAST, like in a couple of minutes if low level, so rember to put some meat in it's inventory After taming It, i learned the hard wayಥ‿ಥ
1 up=1 pray for reginald
Pick the compy you want and kill the rest. Otherwise they will turn on your tame compy and kill it. No one leaves the compy tribe and lives.
This idiot, attacking my lvl 600 tek Rex
Where there's one, more will slowly spawn in. They won't attack you unless in a group of two or more. The bigger the crowd, the more damage they do.
Oddly enough, this was the first creature I actually bred. After taming 1 male and 2 females, I decided to breed them and their surprisingly easy to breed. They can literally breed in a single triangle foundation. Although many consider them useless. If you find a beached Meg near a group of these guys, you can easily tame one. I will say this, They make great meat backpacks early game. To be quite honest out of all of ark creatures, the compy is more of a fun pet, that is small enough to fit in most places, and can pay the rent by giving you an egg every now and then. If you have alot of time on your hands you can breed them to fill your base and level health and attack to make a great indoor swarmed. The same can be done with the dilo, but compies take up significantly less space so you can pack more in there, and it's also worth mentioning that they hate sleeping, and wake up very very quickly so if your base is full of them, any kind of tranquilizer will be ineffective. At the end of the day, the compy is a pest, that can become a little pet that can fit anywhere. Not exactly the most useful critter, but they do the minimum. Fun fact the compy is the smallest theorpod dinosaur on the island, but despite what most people think they are not the smallest dinosaur and they aren't even the smallest theropod. The smallest Theropod was actually the troodontid anchiornis huxleyi which was a raptor thar weighed only 110 grams, was about a foot long, and was about 4-5 inches tall. This was another excessive review by SloppyCrow
Everyone says they’re useless, and tbh, they are.
For practical uses that is. Compy’s are the housecats of ark. Tame one and set it on wander inside your house and you have endless companionship. It’s dumb, and really impractical seeing as you probably have tons of other games to keep you company, but it’s still nice to see a tiny little dinosaur run around your home.
WHY do you need prime meat!!! But they are pretty cute
Bro u telling me that this small boi can be tamed
How2Tame #7: Compy
So, if you think Compies are full of themselves then I, Zeta, agree with you. They need only prime meat and expensive mutton and they force themselves to wake up because they want to prove themselves a million times over. Now, it's time How2Tame teaches you how to teach THESE things some manners. Note: This was jumped to because I am doing these in the order they appear in the wild. You may do my next entries before this, or skip this altogether.
1. Gather Raw Prime Meat or Raw Prime Fish Meat. Raw Prime Fish Meat is the best because all you must do is eliminate a few salmon. They are simple fishes and do not have much health. Then craft around 10 Narcotic or so.
2. Sight a Compy. Punch it a few times and it will fall unconscious. Feed it your raw prime (fish) meat.
3. If the torpor gets too low, you should have it consume your Narcotic, but only as much as it needs. Please do not waste, Narcotic is valuable.
4. Eventually you will have tamed a Compy. Name it and PLEASE make sure that you feed it ONLY AS MUCH AS IT NEEDS! COMPIES ARE THE CREATURE THAT NEEDS RESOURCE CONSERVATION THE MOST
Alright, I hope that helped. Apologies if the Narcotic estimate was off, I have not tamed one before and do not care to myself, as my Tek Parasaurs and Fast Phiomias are enough for me right now. Goodbye, and you may see my episodes below.
