You can add torches to saddles while they're both in your inventory. You can then equip it to your dino. Just found this out today!!! This is frodo from small tribes btw
Been playing since game came out an didn’t know this
Lmaoooo thats crazy cause there were random small things i never knew for the longest time but i knew this forever ago on island but im sure the stuff i didnt know you guys probably knew lol
@@josephgaona1996 knew it for 5 years it’s lowk uselss
@@ltsmeeps5768 lol yea it is fire attracts everything rather put gamma up
@@josephgaona1996 and saddle durability goes down pretty fast with a torch
Fun fact: The Spino share spawn with the fish, so run about killing with will give you food for days and make the Spinos spawn ;)
Dinos with more than 50% full weight won't pick up items, only hide and meat.
Thanks for clearing the weight thing up sin, I did suspect it was related to that, and always love your fun facts :)
humm, you should tell people how to collect tribute at the mid game maybe? if they realize by end game how to collect tributes they will have lost months of gathering tributes as they do their meat run and stuff lol, to me these are mid game tips. way far from end game like how to use whistle commands on diff boss, how to level boss dinos depending on wich boss youre doing sutff like that.. but collecting tributes as a end game tip?
@@davenadeau8671 if you throw loot away you deserve to be punished for it. The devs wouldn't add items that serve no purpose. Well besides the tek ATV lmao
@@psilovecybin5940 you're not throwing loot away if you're missing out on it because it is nowhere said in the game tips that when a dino is over 50% it doesn't pick up the tribute in his inventory, and most of the time the spino is in the river you wouldn't even see the bag on the ground.. was just saying this is not a end game tip
@@davenadeau8671 legitimately didn't know what tributes did but always kept them bc they were "unique drops" and I'm glad I did that
Item collecting IS related to weight. 50% or more full and it stops looting corpses.
Also if your food bar is grey you need to poop or it will drain your food quickly
If your tranq darts or other darts are about to spoil then place them in your dinos inventory, unload your rifle and the dart that comes out is ALWAYS at full health then transfer your darts back from your dino then your entire stack of darts will be at full health. Do this as many times as you need so your darts will never spoil.
Nearing the end of my own complete the island run, appreciated info
How long did it take you?

You and pterafier have honestly helped me so much. 2 very underrated channels.
Happy to have you on board it's harder for the smaller creators to get noticed but I keep focussed and I'm just grateful for all the people who do choose to spend their time with me.
@@CompleteGamesWithJames it's sad when the creators who put more effort in end up getting less recognition. The quality of these videos especially the guides is great. I'm binge watching your solo play through rn and your relaxing voice is so much better than the just mindless screaming some other TH-camrs make.
@@Oliver_McCombie honestly man im sure that others also agree but i just wanted to say i couldnt have said it better lol
Omg, that cryo imprint tip is hella useful.
Awesome content as always james! 10k subs now your doing well dude. As other people have said you've helped me out massively on my ark journey, I only started playing ark just before your first island play through so I've come a long way and learnt so much, most of which is down to your videos 👍🏻
Thank you and I'm blown away to hit this milestone I can't thank everyone enough and will be talking about it all in the mouthy update.
@@CompleteGamesWithJames its well deserved mate, the extra effort you put into editing makes them very enjoyable to watch but the information and clarity is spot on as well
Another great video here James! Keep up the great work and I’m sure with your help that percentage of people completing the game will be going up. Another good tip would be turning on PVE mode as it nullifies the cryo sickness from cryo pods, the only con being you can’t kill unclaimed baby creatures during breeding.
thanks rob and I was not awaer of that will look it up thankyou
Keep the content coming, and thanks for the reminder on the tek cave I completely forgot about pheromone darts!
You're welcome and thank-you. As always I cant wait to make more and I do my best to keep in consistent
Man I absolutely love your Ark survival evolved series. I have found your channel earlier today, and I am watching the let's play playlist. You have a really soothing voice and your editing is fabulous, I'm trying to learn as I'm planning to do an ARK series myself. I was wondering if one day you could eventually post an editing tutorial, as it was really help me out. There are already loads of editing tutorials on TH-cam, but yours is UNIQUE.
Amazing content man, I really hope your channel is going to blow up.
wow thanks for the kind words and its something ive not considered doing as i feel i just wont to focus on completing games hear. That being said i have a discord and im happy to talk about the prossess and softwere i use and even try to surport other creators with links to sheard content, but also try to actally support the other creators the get envoled in the communaty there as surport gets surport, so you are welcome to join.
so close, really enjoy your guides and content!
thanks @irvin, the fact you are so quick to watch my videos helps my channel so much so anyone whos in hear within the first hour helps a small creator like myself more than you know.
@@CompleteGamesWithJames you may be small, for now, your content is so good that this channel is growing faster than any other ark creator.
I love all of your ark videos. I found you when I first started playing ark and your the reason I was able to do anything. You have helped so much and have made my ark journey so much better!! Thank you!!
Thanks Grace Goo, Happy I helped you get into the game more and I appreciate the time you take to watch my videos.
awesome video! I only realized that about the fertilized eggs when I was watching you in scorched earth and mentioned getting two yutis to breed to use the eggs and I about slapped my forehead!
yer felt its a tip worth mentioning again thank-you @ketsuekirose
Love your chill style
The Tek Cave Guide helped me a lot! I'm planning to complete the alpha overseer tomorrow!
good luck @armit s, I may have brought this guide out just in time for a couple tips to bear in mind 😃
Keep up the good work! Darn you must of put in many hours of play extremely knowledgeable awesome dude 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! And truth is I have an grate communaty and when it comes to doing the guides and tips videos they reach out to me to discuss tatics and theres so many ways to do something in ark Im still learning myself.
@@CompleteGamesWithJames how many hours you got
Dude nice guide the pheremone dart trick was super smart
This is by far the best channel for Ark content out there! Straight and to the point. Minimal messing around. Most youtubers playing Ark just talk nonsense during the entire video. I've recommended this channel to my group of 6 As we have paid for our own server and are trying to complete the survival evolved island map. Thanks so much for this content!! Super helpful!
Thanks for the useful tips!
On the trophy collection there is a setting for dinos called enemy collection which you need on to have the dino receive the trophies on kill
Very useful video James! I don't know if I'll be using many of those tips until I'm a biiit farther along though ^^
we will get you there shiny :)
Just super chill vids I love it
thanks @felix appreciate it
I love all your content you are a great TH-camr keep up all the good work.
cheers @kolby George, you been encouraging me to keep going for a long time now appreciate it
Anytime 👍
I knew there were clever uses for those aggro tools ;) Quick note, for those of us on official rates fertilized eggs for Kibble isn't very useful. It's like a 20 to 1 ratio unfertilized to fertilized. Still helps ofc, you get a surge of kibble every dozen hours or so.
Not sure how many realise this but megalania toxin is one of the only tributes you can get from tamed dinos. Just tame a pair and let them breed.
great videos, very helpful!
Glad you like them!
Any time I think of a reason to use pheromone darts it turns out that particular creature isn't affected by them. When genesis came out and I was trying to steal my first magmasaur egg, I was fumbling around failing miserably trying to draw their agro without getting myself killed, then I realized I could just use pheromone darts to pull them all into one spot, only problem was magmasaurs aren't affected by pheromone darts
Need more tips since I've never ascended let alone beat a boss in Ark even though I have 100s of hours on it. Keep em comin🤘🤘🤘
Really looking forward to the next complete the ark episode!!
thanks @billy b and think it be next week now but I will complete it :)
Also if you hatch baby megalaina they always have 2 toxin in their inventory so no need to search the caves to find them
I was wondering if I could use fertilized eggs for kibble, good to know
Love the video.. found it helpful some things I didn't know about the items an certain ones I jus keep dropping like the spino fins anyways I was wondering how does most player's play ark... I mean as in like how do you stop screen from shaking especially when a bigger dino comes along.. I have been playing ark for about a year.. I haven't done really much in ark besides use creative mode an build a house with a little bit of farming an hunting... I was wondering how do you make it like similar to jurassic park whenever a trex comes along your screen doesn't shake.. I find it annoying... Oh I couldn't find a newer video so I decided to ask in the his one.. hope my comment isn't dumb lol
Was waiting for my first yuty egg and made them breed to increase my odds, but I’m just going to use the fertilized eggs instead. Thanks for the great tips
Guys let me give you some tips
I’m gonna start with megalania toxin, what you want to do is going into the swamp cave on island or some other caves an you will get loads of that toxin.
The legendary kibble can be used for every single Dino and is very easy to make, what you need is to go for wyvern eggs/ rock drake eggs/ magmasaur eggs and that’s it, you have the kibble (don’t use it for carnivores cause you have mutton) use it for herbivores especially trike/ stego/ racer.
NEVER EVER BUILD ON THE BEACH! There are lots of good caves on every single map just search on TH-cam and watch a guide how to build it.
If you are playing a moded server you can just go on Crystal Isles for artefacts and don’t waste a lot of time for farming them.
That’s some tips that could make your life easier, have a nice day
Fun fact about the megalania: if you knock it out there will be 2 toxin in it's inventory. If you then let it wake up(their torpor drops rather fast) and knock it out again you get another 2 toxin. You can do this until you have all the toxin you want or end up killing it(although this can be prevented if you have a snow owl)
I wasn't able to use fertilized eggs for cooking in the past. Has that changed?
I have a question, I don’t think it’s worth the work for kibble.but I wanna know your guy’s opinion on if kibble is worth it or not.
At the 1:20 mark, where you say a small percentage have completed the game, do you mean The Island or all the other official maps as well?
Love the content! Would you ever do a Prim+ play through? Would be really interested to see how your play style changes/adapts to it. (I'm also just playing on Prim+ and looking for help lol)
yer i havent played prim+ but I am interseted, so many ways to play ark ill never run out of ideas for content.
Fun Tip: Megalania babies drop the toxin. They are the only babies in the game that drop the trophy needed for the boss, so tame a bunch up and make a megalnia toxin farm.
You have to melee kill with your Dino for them to trophy loot, and they also won’t trophy loot if you’re at 50% or more Dino weight~
How do you have a wyvern with no mods on the island
i usually just make a base in the secret lake on the island. if beavers spawn there free cementing paste. the only shitting thing is metal you have to go a bit far for
Edit: I forgot you can't transfer trophies.
A good tip for most of these trophies is to download Ragnarok. Megalania spawn in crazy amounts at the very edge of the volcano, Thylas are quite common and easy to find in the desert, and Spinos are incredibly common in the basin full of waterfalls. Ragnarok is entirely free to get too.
You cant transfer trophies where I play
Just lay megalania babies and kill them they give you 2 megalania venom
*Tek being endgame*
Genesis 2: And i took that personally
Never thought about fertilized eggs, dang all that work on my Yuty farm 😆
yer it will save some space and help keep the base from being as laggy if you build big.
Same lol I thought they never worked for kibble
Thx
Can you do a video about the mods you use/ the most useful mods for ark? I just bought Ark on steam because I got sick of playing it on console without mods and the various problems that the mods fix. If people want to comment on this as well that would be great!
S+ is almost a must. A good spyglass mod. A op one would be awesome spyglass. Super spy glass is a mid range one. There is a mod called something like level up. Which you use to adjust level spawning chances so ever thing isn't always way low level. And if running higher level dino levels. Vitberry mod for healing hp. It is very configable so you can make it a rare chance to get. Or tone down the hp return. Also a stacking mod just find one that works for you there are tons. Other then that just explore different mods till you find something you like. There is tons of great ones
Agreed. S+ and Amazing spyglass
So I’ve gotten to level 150 in under a week and that seems super fast. What is you guys xp multiplier?
On the server I'm on with friends it's at 2x.
I learned how to play ark on pvp official server ps4 scorched earth in 2016. It was brutal
Oh man...If my game ran this smooth on these graphics =(
Some great tips....
cheers @vex, thank you for always being in the comments and keep me going, Taking the time to watch my videos, and the support you give means a grate deal and keeps me making more and trying harder.
1 fert egg per day vs 30 if i just have a mate boosted pair sitting around with ovi buff....🤔
You say no mods does that mean your doing this on default settings as well ?
Does the Pherempone Dart effect Bosses like the Dragon or Overseer?
Unfortunately not
Hey James, do you use single player settings defaults?
Hi @nicky Bylo hears my video on the settings I use in the complete series also check the small update in regards to max level dinos, th-cam.com/video/DlLePDFerWc/w-d-xo.html
@@CompleteGamesWithJames Thank you James, I appreciate it.
Thanks too your first series. I'm level 105 now. With four caves in at the island. Progress is slow. But I do enjoy it a lot. Played nothing else since I started 3 months ago. Had too use admin codes in skylord cave to retrieve my inventory. That cave is broken. As you mentioned. So this artifact i have to cheat with. I really hope the rest i can finish solo and honest on ps4.
oh its a shame it would not spawn for you but im really happy ive helped you get through, I had no other problems in caves so i hope you can retreive the rest of them without problem.
As an advanced player I can say with absolute certainty that I haven't seen a single advanced tip in this video.
Anyone who takes the time to read this I will offer you an advanced tip that you are free to share.
The snails can not only make about 100 cementing paste an hour but it also produces 1 organic poly an hour but also increases the spoil timer on the organic poly. Aka snails can be used as organic poly fridges. Keep surviving survivors ;)
@@brettdreedm6742 thx man
I watched the first few videos of your hard walk through..i'm playing single player not on hard but tweeked a bit to get better Dino's . I thought okay no problem, tame a trike and a Pteranodon and just whip up the mountain for some crysta--- No...Trikes killed the shit out of me or kept drowning lol, then when i finally flew from Herbie Island, my shit low level bird kept needing breaks!! :S (why you don't bother with low levels i see) and then when i got to the top i tried to carry to much crystal, sabertooth X 3 ran up and killed us :S Anyways haha still plugging away and got my crystal and spyglass thanks to my level 70 Pteranodon. Great videos....i just expected it to be easier !!! i imagine you died alot when you first started haha
Dinos don’t pick up bags if they’re over half weight.
⭐I don't even know how you're supposed to switch servers... What you can bring with you or how to retrieve your loot... I've made a few attempts but they usually just make me spawn in the middle of nowhere with nothing... Also, could you just eat a flower and use a flyer to lure Gigas into the lava..?
Im currently in mid game and I’m having issues progressing I just don’t know what to do now does anyone have tips?
If you are on the island, work on those mid level caves, breed up some good basilosaurus' and rex's for late game, and work your way to level 100. There are two spots on the island you can get good frequent xp. Be sure to grab an explorer note or two on your way to them so olyou can get 2x xp or more while you are farming one of these areas. One is Carno island in the northeast corner, and the other is on the western coastal line right where the snow biome and the beach meet. One of the ark youtubers had dubbed it "The Moshpit" and they are both great areas to farm xp.
welp, currently playing and I guess I'm not finishing this game... I would never go underwater.
Yes if your dino has over half weight on it then it won’t auto collect
Bro just ty for the spoiler alert. Ill check other guides
You never said why you use fertilized eggs for kibble. I am assuming you get more than one kibble per egg instead of 1 egg equaling 1 kibble. But thanks for the video good content as always. And currently I have many dinos sitting around making eggs 😂 so I will definitely use this last trick!
theres no difference, its basically just a "on demand" egg instead of waiting for your dino's to lay
@@knappieboy Late but no in mobile using fertilized egg is better then none fertilized egg in some situation I would assume some part of it carry to the other versions but then mobile is just special our kibbles are different.
The beginning sounded like u were rapping for a sec that was good
ah crap, i've been throwing away all my trophies, thought they were just taking up space since i can't craft anything with them and never bothered to search up the wiki
well some are harder that others to get so I may have saved you a little time 😁 the alpha tropies for the last fight i find are much easyier to find through out the game but the 3 i mention hear are the 1s i find tricky to find.
Wait when is there wyverns on the isle?
When you don't play single player 😂
Fun fact: shoot thylas off the trees in redwood and then devour them..idk why I keep seeing ppl fly up to them lmfao
Im sure you are aware of the fast transfer of items with T but you never use it =(
Hello there Mr complete games
hey raptor games 😁
if your dino weight is half full your dino won't pick up items when you kill a dino
yer i was preety sure that what it realated 2 😁
Normal ppl: ill tame a trik and a rapter then tame others and move up as I go.
Me: bloodstalker, magmasaur egg, mosasaurus, yuteranus then maybe giga if im bored 😆
2:45 was that a wyvern on the island map??????
You can summon whatever you like on single player or if you're an admin
when u unpod a tame they poop, if owl unlimited fert, if female there is a chance of egg, every single time...also cryoed tames gain more exp.
Bro i say that pheromone thing got me mad as fuck ! You know just for a survey for ammonite with a basil went in the eastern underwater cave and got cornered unable to hit back and RIP I HATE THAT IMAGE bit a good cpntent as always neverthe less
Just casually put titanaboa venom in the thumbnail
That’s ammonite bile
Me who only plays in creative listening to this like : mhm, ya, sounds good 👁👄👁
Maybe you make a video about ark mobile
i love you
💖 love ya more...
what's a many mod you said no mods in begining
not sure what you mean by a many mod, but I do not use mods in my complete the ark series they are active on my communaty server so perhaps i spoke to quicky or i missed something.
Late but they said "nanny mod" which means the item from the s+ mod called a nanny and what it does is auto feeds and imprints baby dinos. They also said "if" not that they were using it
IMO this is more like advanced tips for people who don't know the basics.
Well yeah, but these are tips to get to the advanced point... For the ones that know how the entire game works, everything's basic
I disagree with the kibble tip You could only breed dinosaurs one time A-day So that's only 1 egg a day you need to be stealing wivern eggs and using those for kibble And having a bunch of females in one male helps out a lot
really padding out the fucking run time on this one, thanks for telling us to use fertilized eggs for 8 minutes
what dart to use sounds like a mod
The pheromone dart is a engram but just overlooked by many people is what i said, so i uderstand now 😁 erm no its not a mod and is unlocked at lev 90
You do realise no one ever runs the start of the Tek cave either wing suit it gasbag it or fly s quetz through it
Not allowed to fly in caves unless admins have enabled it
@@soaponarope8995 you put a platform saddle on the quetz with benches / chairs and whistle the quetz through the cave
Yeah that's cool I just use Tek suit and a shotgun
That 5% of people could have also
Went into god mode and defeated it cuz u still get the trophy
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
😁❤️👍
well this say "tip you wish you knew b4 playing ark"
fact : every ark player search in google and watch youtube about ark after playing ark and dying so many times cant even count!
kibble is pointless since dinos now tame with different foods now
Kibble is useful of people maxing out dino levels outside of ARK Mobile. Each level you can get when taming is free skill points into attributes. The number of bonus levels for kibble over Mutton or preferred food is very high. Kibble also doesn't spoil for a very long time compared with prime meats, Mutton or honey.
In vanilla, you have a limited max level. Depending on server settings you have limited number of levels you can earn for a tamed dinosaur. So you can end up with useless tames that cannot fight, flee or harvest well.
The only way to get as close to max is to tame with the best food, breed for mutations to slightly bump up a stat and the levels and then to grind XP.
To grind XP keep dinos in cryopods inside cryofridges. Killing babies nearby while under the Lystro buff is fast XP. Having dinos in cryopods in the player inventory while sleeping in a Tek sleeping pod earns earns you points too.
Remember that any dinosaur with a harvesting bonus gets XP from performing that harvesting task. Stone for Dodicerous. Wood for Mammoths and Beavers. Fiber for Therizinos. So save your base building until you breed good harvest dinos. Then grind out your resources and your levels at once.
The reason hardly anyone has done the tek cave is because official servers are cancer, alpha tribes have a monopoly on every aspect of each map you get to a certain size or material of your base and you get stamped out when your offline.
Btw u dont need any other kibble than yuty kibble as far as imprints go cryopod and try again
Put this comment before watching this entire video
all good tips and comments are welcome all the same 😁
Scripted Ark content? AMAZING I'm subbed :)
Welcome @pterafier hope you're doing well 😄
ammoNite
Soo close
well i apprecaite the fact you hear so quick 😁
Nope! Still going to have loads of females...fertilized eggs only happens once every two days or so depending on the dino. Breeding nerf!
This more of a mid game tips and tricks with a basic tek cave walk through.
No it’s endgame
First
that was fast you even beat me 👍
