Be sure you have a Sleeping Bag or a Bed placed down in the local area. I died to a pack of Abberant Raptors and a Ravager, and due to having no checkpoint in Vanaheim I lost two in-progress high level Kentrosaurus tames. The same can happen any given cave in Fjordur and Valguero. Treat these areas as whole new maps; you never know, my packmates.

I'm not scared of Allosaurs, Alphas, Rexes nor am I Spinos when riding my Baryonyx or my Deinonychus, but if forget Abberant Raptors are around the corner... I experience as much fear as I do when facing a Giganonosaurus.
