!! An alpha trex spawned at the edge of the ocean near my base, and I only spotted it when I was out on my icthy going off to tame up a dunkleosteus. It was way to close to base, so I shot it to lead it into the ocean and swam away as fast as I could. It quickly de aggrod and swam down to near the middle of the sea. So I hit it with the dolphin- the alpha DIDNT aggro. So I patiently savaged the 21k health alpha rex with my icthy and after just half an hour, me and my ten damage icthy killed the alpha and I got amazing loot and lots of Xp.

Moral: if you’re a low level player, dolphins are the ULTIMATE alpha killers. Just use the dolphin only, and you should have some easy loot and loads of levels.

So I KO’ed the only bary in my area, but that dang thing ran into da water and went unconscious there. Good thing they have no air meter! Anyways after that trauma I was heading back to my base when he decided to go after some ceolacanths. I waited like 5 minutes waiting for him to stop slaughtering the fish so we could finally go home.

Moral- keep barys away from fish or you could be waiting for what feels like hours.

Soon after taming, the server’s admin came around and got lab to max lvl for me. Me and Lan tamed gigas, soared across the map, and grabbed loot everywhere we could. Then, recently, I was unclaiming an old quetz for my friend when ark bugged and made me unclaim poor lan instead. I re- tranqed and tried to tame her up, but when I left for a minute to get meat, she somehow died. Despite how important lan was to me on my time on the server, I was only triggered for a day.

Moral- don’t play ark on bad Wi-Fi.

So once I found a wild unicorn and decided to tame it- then i saw ‘requires griffin kibble to tame’. I was like ok sure I’ll wait until I have a griffin - but I’m smart so I trapped it in a pen with one of my sarcos as a guard. Then I invited this random rando to my tribe. He didn’t notice the unicorn smack dab right there and opened the gates freeing that uni- and I never saw it again. I killed him and took all his stuff before banishing him from the tribe.

Moral: DONT invite strangers to your tribe just because they’re looking for one to join.
