Looking for the Ultimate ASA breeding guide? Well Tiias got you covered!
th-cam.com/video/E1EzoZ1ZSUQ/w-d-xo.html
I still watch breeding videos despite being very knowledgeable about it. While I didn’t learn anything, I also don’t have anything to add this is literally everything one could need or want to know in a short easy to understand guide. Great Video Chaotic. It will be the new video I recommend to those looking for info.
Thanks for the kind words bud 🤘

Can you help me out i dont know when a tame is good to breed it in to 1 dino. Like when do you know you have the best possible health,stamina,melee etc points distribution
It depends on what you want to do with them and what tames your talking about.
Rexs for bosses you'll want give or take 10k hp as a base line. 350% ish damage. And then mutate those with 20 mutations into health and another line with 20 mutations into melee. 80ish armor saddles and they can take on most bosses easily on any difficulty.
I have almost 4900 hours in the game. This is the best and most comprehensive guide for breeding and mutations I have ever seen. Great work!
Thanks bud 🤘
Same and nearly same ingame time
Love to see the update guide here and available for all to learn how to breed like a mad scientist!
Muhahaha
😮
💪😏
@@Chaotic_Gaming What about max level cap? aren't you supposed to not combine multiple stats in servers whit max level cap enabled if you want to cap a particular stat like health or melee? also what about breeding whit low level females to get rid off undesired stats and lower the dino level in order to not hit the level cap?
This was the most informative and easy to follow breeding guide I've seen on youtube thus far!
Thanks 💪
Have you watched Syntac's? I learned how to breed from him.
@@kamar1171 Don't tell you're partner in life that. ;)
Yes I too found this very helpful. Most of others tutorials do not mention what babys to get rid of
Me watching this video 3 times before breeding my Desmo's since I'm going all out in the mutations for boss fights. Ive never bred to the extent I am and was confused by the 20+ mutations, but this was a breeze to watch and learn! Love the video, thank you!
Glad I could help 🤘
Great video I love to breed dinos and thought I had learned it all but I picked up a few new things so thank you also probably one of the most straight forward breeding videos I have watched
Thanks bud, glad to have helped
I've never really gotten into breeding my dinos, and my friend and i on a boosted server just kept anything that had either a melee or hp mutation and continued breeding with those, etc. this is a really easy to follow guide, and i think my dinos will be much more efficient from now on, cus i finally understand how to do this properly :)
Awesome bud 🤘
Very nicely put together!!
Love that you covered everything from start to finish!
Thanks bud 🤘
This helped me a lot more than the other popular channels explaining it! 🙏 Your way of explains was more simple and straightforward.
Glad I could help 🤘
I just started a new rex line using a male and 3 females all identical levels and stats and just got my first mutation Health. your guide helped so much. Thank you
Nice bud. Good luck with the rest of your breeding lines!
Super helpful, finally figured out how to work with mutations. Thank you!
No problem 😊
The ONLY thing in this video I didnt know about is the mutagel, as I stopped playing ark after GEN1. However, The way you explain the breeding process is PERFECT for new breeders. Excellent vid
in fact, ill add a sub to that like
o7
know what? even though I didn't register everything, this tutorial is way better than any other I have watched.
It will probably fully register once I apply this after wiping my horrible unknowledgeable attempts. (I was leveling and imprinting and just wow that makes sense why I wasn't going anywhere with it lol)
💪
Loved the video man! You just earned yourself a new subscriber! I’ll definitely be back to this video to brush up on some stuff definitely the best breeding video I’ve seen man. Keep up the good work!
Glad I could help
It's been over a year since I hard-core bred anything, but this is just what I needed to maybe try again 😁
Hope it helps bud 🤘
As someone who as over 7000hrs in ark most as a tribe breeder on official servers I approve you covered everything very well great video
Thanks bud 🤘
PC or console?
@@MoIds0 console and pc combined
Little tip before you get to the egg incubator stage place down 6 fire places. 6 is enough heat to hatch the hottest eggs an 1 is cool enough to hatch cooler eggs you just gotta turn the fireplaces on and off to range to heat
That depends on the temperature of the area you live
Ayyy, been waiting on this one for a while, can't wait, this will be so helpful.
I know it will be bud 🤘
Great timing, decided to try Ark again and I wanna give breeding a serious try this time
Nice bud good luck 🤘
Great tutorial. I’ve been working on one myself but you absolutely nailed it. You covered everything. I’ll share this with anyone interested in breeding. I do breed out my useless stats out of habit. My base stat rexes are 120 and my Carchs are 140. I have a player that keeps trying to give me his lvl 259 carch eggs wit 3 mutations. I keep telling him my base stats are higher than his and his mutations are all oxy or food. LOL
Thanks bud. I lost the breed out the useless stats habbit a long time ago thankfully, waste of time on all my series and 100 days servers 😅
Flyers can have speed leveling if you allow it in the settings not sure if this was a thing at the time but it exist now 👍
It's was a thing. If memory serves I'm pretty sure I mentioned it. But maybe I didn't 🤔
Very helpful and simple. I now know that much more about breeding (I knew nothing before)
Glad I could help bud 🤘
I had to rewatch a few times certain parts, but I made a written guide and I get it. Thanks a lot! Even after a few thousand hours of play, I didn't know all this.
Glad I could help 🤘
Just a heads up, mating is incorrectly in the chapters. But besides that, this was by far the best breeding guide I have seen so far. So thank you so much for the time put into making this video.
Thanks bud and I'll look into fixing the chapters
Thanks for that great and bery easy follow guide chaotic!!! Surely even pro ish players will find it amazing to follow along!! 😺🍪
Glad I could help 😌
Amazing I was just watching to see wut other do but this is a amazing guide as some one with 5 years of this game and I have had maybe over 10k mutations I have had the triple mutation 2 times in that time it was really use full when it happened lol good job on this
Bro, this is the best breed guide on TH-cam. Well done.
Thanks bud 🤘
I miss one little thing, and that's mods. I've heard Awesome Spyglass can help find Dino's with good base stats by being able to see the point distribution before taming it (similar to what the incubator shows iirc) But mentioning some mods without going into detail would be really helpful for those who have the power to install them or for those who have them on the server.
I run a small server with 2 friends and anyone can suggest a mod. Then we'll discuss it, play devil's advocate to bring up any balance concerns, and then decide if we want to install it.
Breeding is very tedious and we don't have infinite time, so having some mods to assist us in the taming process would be very helpful. And a video like this is imo a good place to introduce some mods.
The introduction can be the same as how you talk about that thing on the genesis map. I don't know what that item is, how to get it or how to use it, but I know that that feature exists and I know what to look for.
So, if anyone has any suggestions for mods then I'd really appreciate it :D
Awesome spy glass is incredibly over powered in its base form in my opinion. I use other mods for breeding on my cluster. I invite you to my discord and you can check them out, ask questions if you want.
@@Chaotic_Gaming Thank you! After your tip I quickly found Super Spyglass which is nicely balanced :D
@@AnimilesYT nice bud 👍
Creature Finder Deluxe as well.
⚠️⚠️⚠️Make sure you have the chosen dinosaur to stop following you or it won't be able to lay a egg make this top comment so more people are aware ⚠️⚠️⚠️
So there was something I forgot to mention 😅
@@Chaotic_Gaming yea I guess but i was able to breed my theri within minutes thank you
Thanks for the video ive been playing for 5 years and it was still helpfull. You are getting yourself a new sub hehe
🤘
Thanks a ton for this. I have to say I may need to watch this abo;ut 8 times because I was lost after a few min but thanks because this is a confusing aspect of ARK that I had never really learned. I hope I can get the hang of it because am more lost than before the video hahahaha. I am so glad people like you do these vids though. I would have never figured this out
keep coming back! this is a lot of great information! the cryopods used on the server I play on currently show the mutations and their locations.
Glad I could help!
Finally a video about mutations that didn't involve spreadsheets and just completely overwhelmed the viewer! This was so awesome, and clear, and slow, I think I finally understand (with some notes) on how to actually try and breed. I never took into account on how to properly use the mutations, or to keep a clean line. Thank you so much for making it so much more understandable!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck
I am about to get into this myself and I still feel overwhelmed. I am not very good at math XD
1 step at a time and feel free to ask questions here or on my discord (links in the description)
@@Chaotic_Gaming I do believe I will thank you for the gracious invite.
Lot of information 😂thx my head hurts now. Can’t wait to rewatch it 20+ times
Never did I think that I would understand this mechanic so easily, thank you so much.
Awesome to hear bud 🤘
I love this vid so much...just started to really get into breeding mutations...thank you so very much for this vid :)
No problem bud. Hope it helps 🤘
@@Chaotic_Gaming oh it really does...been watching it a lot
This video made mutations very easy to understand. My son and i are gonna have one easy time breeding dinos now. Thank dude!
No problem bud, glad I could help
The video was insane man this is the first time I've ever really looked at breeding and mutations seriously and holy hell my head feels like it's gonna burst 🤣
Hope it helped 😅
Fantastic guide. I agree with all rest of the comment section, best vid out there! I recently found a great PVE server that just started fresh with an excellent group of people. I had played a few hundred hours of Ark solo before, (the few pvp experiences I had were pretty shit) but I had never really gotten into breeding more than just ensuring a steady supply of Dinos. Now I'm looking to get into it a lot more as I build my new home in Ragnarok. This vid fills me with both dread and anticipation. There's just soo much I didn't know... but now I have a clue!
Glad it helped but. Good luck on your new adventures on rag with some super powerful tames 🤘
Lots of great information. Just listened to it on my commute into work and had to save it to my watch later so that I can give it a proper watch with pencil and paper to take notes later! 😂
Nioce bud 🤘
Man, this is a great tutorial. I managed to figure the process out somewhat myself right up until I got to the mutations and then I was out in the weeds. Still in the weeds, but slowly figuring it out lol
If you git any questions feel free to ask.
Thank you for this.. I have been doing it wrong but fortunately i have just begun so i can correct it now. thanks.
Glad I could help 🤘
Great video, now I understand breeding. You have done a miracle
Awesome to hear bud 🤟🤘
@@Chaotic_Gaming You had my trust, now you have it even more
First time listening all the way through. Definitely still feel lost, but now I feel like I understand it enough to try. 😂😌😊
Thank you. ☺️
You got this!
Great video explaining and editing learned everything I needed saved for later
Glad I could help
Proud of you for fixing the title spelling :P
In all seriousness though, this is a pretty solid video. I learned a few things I hadn't before. Great job!
Well I couldn't leave it 🤣
You featured in the community Crunch. Congrats. This was in anyway a cool & very informative video.
Thanks Arindam 💪
FINALY!!! 100% best breeding video i have ever watched im in love lol
Thanks bud. Means a lot coming from you bud
I remember back when ARK released and I didn’t know anything about how breeding worked. I would just breed my Dino’s so I can get a baby that I could imprint. Had no clue that you could add the best stats to 1 dino. The day I figured out how to properly breed and mutate absolutely changed my ARK experience to another level. I remember my stat capped Rex’s on a official server. That took me probably a year if not longer to do. My Rex’s got me invited to do bosses on the daily. I can’t see myself ever doing that grind again but I still find enjoyment doing breeding on my own server with increased breeding rates. I can’t wait for ARK Ascended to release though!
Best Breeding guide out there. Myman great job
Thanks bud 🤘
I keep coming back to this guide to check if I'm breeding right. After a few false starts, I'm mutating my fluffy raptors for the first time! Thank you so much!
Awesome to hear bud 🤘
Best breeding guide ever. Congrats on getting into the crunch
Thanks bud 🤘 it's a good feeling
thanks for posting this it is the most clear and concise video ive seen on breeding and one that i fully understand lmfao. Thanks for the hard work and know that it will get a lot of replays from me lmafo! (short term memory loss is a bitch)
Glad I could help bud 🤘 and I more then understand the short term memory loss 😅
This is the best breeding video I have ever seen. Really well explained, I have seen a lot of confusing videos.
Thanks bud. I put a lot of work into this one for that very reason 🤘
@@Chaotic_Gaming
I just got back into official pve, I’m looking to breed carnos because I saw a 150 right at my base and I feel like they don’t get any love.
Thanks man keep up the good work
No problem bud
I love you chaotic lolol this video is so good. Soon I am confident I will make a super mutant trex.
Awesome bud 🤘
this is the first video that finally made me understand how to get past 20 mutations in a single stat. i always get confused in other videos because some of them hinted you can but you must not go over the max 255 stat points, and they never shown doing anything past 20 and my small brain just keep thinking if the mutation cap is 20 how to get 255stat points?! difficulty 20 server? but i see now haha
Glad I could help!
Think im going to have to watch this more than a few times, just got back into Ark after years away and cant get my head around breeding XD
If you have any questions feel free to ask
This is the simplest way I've ever heard it explained!! Thankyou!!!
Glad I could help bud 🤘
I still don’t get it
@@woozii.capalot what's got you confused? Maybe I can explain it better.
@@Chaotic_Gaming the whole stacking mutations part
@@woozii.capalot breed your stats male with your stats females untill you get a male with a mutation you want (say hp) it'll be 2 levels higher then the parents and have a higher health. Grow it up and then breed it with the females until a new mutation is born. It will be 2 levels higher then its father and 4 levels higher then the mothers. Make sure it has higher hp then the father. Grow it up and repeat.
Just saying thanks , I just started learning about the breeding from a friend on ark more information and knowledge goes a long ways
No problem bud 🤟
Amazing video finally I found a good guide
Thanks bud. Glad I could help
Watched the whole thing, it just went in one ear and right put the other. Now I gotta rewatch it
Feel free to ask questions here or in my discord!
I’m seeing a lot of people loving this video for its super in depth content. I agree, lots of info.
And it’s because of this video, I realize that breeding is not for me lol. Other than the fact that I understood, less than half of what you said, it also sounds very, very tedious.
So thank you for telling me the entire process now before I start to dive into it and regret it later!
Its not for everyone. Hopefully they will make it a little bit more simpler in ASA.
recently got a double mutation in my argi stamina line. one in stam and 1 in health. desided to keep her as an inbetween upgrade from my curent argi in use. (better base stam then my leveled unmutated argi and better health. she has nice blue wingtips. gonna pump some points in weight and it ll begood enough for now
Excellent video thanks for the help
Glad it helped
I would love to lean more about breeding this was very helpful
Glad I could help bud 🤘
Oh my fucking god, i have been looking video after video, you're the only one i understood
🤘 glad I could help
Thank you for more detail on what to do if the mutation land on the female side, was scratching my head with this one.
No problem bud, glad I could help
I believe I need to get more formal with the game. Just starting…..an this was super insane amount of information.
Yah it is a lot. Just take it one step at a time bud
Just what I was looking for
Nice 💪🤘
I’m not a New player but I never new how to breed but this Is gonna help ty so much I’ve been playing for 5 years To 6 years
Glad I could help 🤘
I'll need to watch this video again a lot because the literal science of it is going over my head. I tried breeding on my own to get a feel for it and unsurprisingly, the children had lower levels and stats than the parents which I spent hours leveling up.
That because experience gained levels do not get passed down.
@@Chaotic_Gaming so I've noticed. Thanks for replying.
I'm rewatching your video like I said and managing my questions based on what I can and cannot understand. I'll be back once I've trimmed down what has been answered and what needs clarification.
Once I got 2 mutations at the same time (four levels higher) and they were BOTH in the stat I was looking for, mele. Plus, it was a male!!! Great vid btw.
Sick I love it when that happened
I must not be that smart because I'm still confused after this amazing video lol XD
In my defense, I have never done hard core breeding before, just tamed and leveled and popped out eggs.
I'm about to join your discord and ask for a walkthrough in-game to figure this out lol
Just take it 1 step at a time and you are more then welcome to ask in my discord 😀
I'm about 20-30 hours in as I just took the leap into this game and this video just showed me that as I thought I was getting the hang of it, how new I really am lol I'll just keep learning step by step. I'm probably doing a lot of things wrong, but it's fun. THIS seems extremely tedious though. Either way, I still gave a like because even though I didn't really follow everything, I could tell that, not only was there a lot of thought put into it, along with the grind of learning to do it all in the first place, I can also tell that anyone who's ready for this information could easily understand what you're talking about and implement right away. Maybe one day I'll be there........maybe...
Baby steps bud. I'm nearly at 10k hours now myself. And it took me hundreds of hours before I fully understood breeding.
@@Chaotic_Gaming I appreciate the reply. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I do but I found mused playing for about 8-10 hours over multiple days without realizing it. I had to make myself take a break 😂 not trying to develop an unhealthy addiction. It just draws you in!!
@@xXDEUC35Xx oh yah Ark has an uncanny ability to delete days in a row. 🤣
@Chaotic Gaming oh boy. Wish me luck! I'm gonna have to limit myself to a couple hours when I get on lol
@@Chaotic_Gaming AAAAAAND I'm back! So I've been playing a lot since I replied to this a short while back and I THINK I might be ready to tackle this video again hahaha
Hi, thank you for the great video. 10:00 How do we know which stat do we use for which gender?
You use the highest stat you want for the job for both genders. The goal is to make your breeding pair identical for easy mutation identification.
g'day chaotic :) love the slang in the intro mate :)
Haha, we all got our catch phrases 😜🤘
great video. never knew its better to get low lvls tho u get better points
Low levels are for reducing stats and levels to better avoid stat caps and are not needed on unofficial servers
This is interesting, I've never done it this way. Having one female for each stat and then breeding them together once you get 20 mutations for each stat. I always breed all the stats I want on the same dino. My none mutated "perfect" dinos are always 4 or 5 females, and then when I get a mutated male on a stat that I want I breed him back to all the females. I'm gonna give your technique a try. To be honest, it seems overcomplicated to me and adding more steps that you don't really need. We'll see. I learned how to breed from Syntac's video on breeding.
Very good video even tho I already new all that only thing you didn’t mention was negative breeding
Yah I didn't mention it on purpose.
Very informative, and I appreciate the guide. But man, I don't think I have the patience to go through all this.
1 step at a time bud. It's honestly worth it.
Very helpful
Glad I could help
1. Thanks for the information
2. I think I got a 3-4 mutations on shadowmanes randomly
No problem bud. 😊
Yah mutations can easily sneak in there on you.
Loves the video, how do you get Dinos with enormous melee D? Like past the 20/20 cap?
Just keep breeding your mutation line with 0/0 females
So, use one high level pair to make a bunch of potentials. Of those potentials, take the ones that have stats that you want that are higher than the others. Then breed that high stat one with the opposite gender of the original to replicate that one but as a mating pair to then use to start breeding for mutations. I’m this far in the process of understanding and will need to review the mutations to know how to stack those. Assuming the same way
This is by far the best breeding video for ark I have seen! Thank you!
If I missed this, I'm sorry... Do the levels of the parents matter? Or just the stats?
Only time levels matter is if you are taming or breeding for an identical stats breeding pair.
@@Chaotic_Gaming
Thank you! I'm trying to beat the island solo, so I'm gonna need all the help I can get.
Great video, this helped so much. thank you!
No problem bud, glad I could help 🤘
Hey so questions, if i wanna get more than 20 muts, so i just keep doing this method or is there any way to reset the mut? So i can go beyond 20/20
Just keep breeding your mutations with your 0/0s
thank you i understand now
Glad I could help 🤘
Hey! Awesome guide, so question, why do do different mutation lines? So if i was to get a melee mutation on the health line youd get rid of it??
Yah keep them separated. The reason being is if you are looking for 2 stats on the same line you are now hoping for both those stats plus a mutation to come put on the baby. It's statistically slower. Plus you will hit that soft cap with only half of the mutations (10h/10m) then if you went with separated lines.
@@Chaotic_Gaming I beleive the math checks out that its actually better if you are looking for 2 mutations to do a single line
By the way this is the best video on breeding out there:)
🤘💪
Great video. I’m currently breeding a few things and I had a question, do you have to keep the mutated stats separated like that? I have a rock drake like that’s got health and melee mutations. They’re all on one side but they’re in one male, is that going to be a problem?
I highly recommend keeping stat lines separate. When you try to do multiple stats on one line you run into 2 problems. The first one is you are hoping for 2 stats or more to pass down plus a mutation with those stats to happen. Greatly increasing the eggs your going to need to get the next one. The 2nd problem is when you finally hit the 20 mutation softcap your dino might be 10 mutations into one stat and now you'll be quadrupling the eggs you'll need on top of your already increased egg requirementd and your not even close to boss ready Dinos.
@@Chaotic_Gaming thanks very much for the tip, I never knew this
This … this has melted my brain but I’m gonna learn lmao
1 step at a time you'll get it
Such a legendary video chaotic gaming
Legen... wait for it... DAIRY!
@@Chaotic_Gaming yep legendary
Oh god. Yeah im gonna wait till i have some days off work to even start this😂 will just try to tame as many dinos as i can in the meantime
Good luck 🤘
This makes sense.
Awesome guide!
I haven't started yet but what do you do if you get your 2nd stack of mutation to a dif stat?
E.i.
base female + hp1 male = hp1, m1 male
Or does that not happen? Would the 2nd stack always go to the same stat as the parent had?
E.i base female + hp1 male = hp2 male
If you get a mutation that doesn't match you stat kill it and wait until you get one
@@Chaotic_Gaming Thanks man! Best breeding guide I've seen by far. A lot of the other guides are good but are 30+mins long but you managed to cram it all up in 17 mins whilst not skimping on any important detail.
This feels like so much simpler explanation then I'd found. I JUST finally got a pair of Theresaurus for breeding on my solo game. I'll be watchin this a lot to make sure I'm doin the breeding thing right, lol. I'm guessing it's best not to apply their levels if not using mods in order to see the stats? I haven't leveled anything I think of breeding yet, even "Big Bob" my megatherium whom is lonely awaiting a mate is sitting with lots points ready to distribute.
Yah if you don't plan on using it, do not level it. Good luck bud and I hope this videos helps 👍
@@Chaotic_Gaming Say, If I do the stacking right, can a team of Therizinosaurs beat alphas? I kinda wana do that since some reason my solo game stopped spawning TRex at all. Seriously, scouted entire map and there's only Carnos, not even alisaurs. (The Island map)
@@FurlowT yah give or take 70 H/M theris with 80ish armor saddles can go all the way to alpha overseer, check out my ultimate march series I used them there!
@@Chaotic_Gaming my only question is, what’s the base stats matter if they aren’t a high level? Say for example I have a bunch of megatheriums ranging from 40-50, no matter their stats, wouldn’t I want to level them up and breed to get higher lvl babies….THEN start looking at stats once I have max leveled babies? Or am I misunderstanding?
@@grampajacks2677 yah the experience gained levels are not passed down to the baby's. So that's a huge waste of time and all it does is now hide the base stats so if your not playing on modded you have no idea what the original stats were unless you wrote them down.
I never knew about the gestation option on the incubator before, I wish I had when I was mutating megatheriums FML
It was fairly new added sometime after the egg incubator was released.
