ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

These things are awesome when starting. Me and my brother managed to tame a 450 and 300! (It took a bit because of the high levels tho). They could kill pretty much anything! Not a giga tho lol. We would travel the map collecting notes and finishing pursuits. The iggys “Nugget and LemonDrop” could seed fruit when we started to grow crops. And since they have infinite stamina when running on all fours we could basically escape anything that was too strong to fight.

A must tame, why?
It's easy. Bola, tranq arrows and berries.
Best travel mount: Unlimited stamina and you can improve movement speed. Pump 10 levels into speed and this thing zooms everywhere!
Fairly tanky: It can take a beating meaning better survival chance but also good for taming aggressive creatures.
You can shoot while riding: Making taming safer and easier. Anything tries to run away they have no chance.
Berry Gathering: Good for taming or just eating.
Seeding: Good for starting a small farm of your choice.
They can fight back, fending off Dilos, raptors, even Baryonx and Sarcos.
They can jump: Good for clearing obsticals but also getting on high rocks as a vantage point to tranq out creatures such as Carnos.
They're fast swimmers: Not something you want to take in the ocean but fast enough to cross small lakes and rivers and fast enough to outrun Jellyfish. Mine can outswim a Megeladon lol.
Kibble: They're eggs make decwnt kibble which in turn can help tame decent mounts.
Basically they're awesome!
