Im going to be going in solo, island to genesis. Sadly im going to be avoiding scorched as there's no final boss meaning theres not really much point of me being their
@@man_like_forg1121 There’s a boss on SE tho, the Manticore. Even if you don’t intend on fighting it i‘d still go there just to get wyverns since thats the only map where you can (aside from crystal isles)
@@man_like_forg1121 I would say to reconsider you at least got to collect the notes there to know the whole story and you can just pretend the manticore is the final if a boss is all you want
I’m my opinion this video was well balanced and perfect. Ark was extremely difficult for me and the videos out here don’t do what you just did. Thank you for this
Hey, I think I have some advice for the Redwood biome that is important for new players. If you’re on a flying mount, when you come to the Redwoods, I strongly suggest that you either fly around it or over the forest, not through it. Thylacoleo can climb really high and will knock you off your mount mid-flight. (It happened to me twice and I was lucky enough to survive thanks to my Argentavis.)
Bonus note, if you are having trouble getting over it in one Stam bar, there a mountain clearing in the middle of the red woods that is easily accessible. Land on that mountain's peak, it's usually not super populated with dinos and is safe from thylas and the like. Also stamina is a must have if you are going into the center of the map from the south zones
You are the absolute best guide master. Your explanations are precise, concise and go to the point and your imagery is the best. It is evident you take a long time to edit and to present the info in an orderly way. Thanks so much for all your hard work! I really dont know why you dont have thousands more subs! You deserve it! Awaiting anxiously for the Aberrant stories of the survivors!
I appreciate this video because there is a lot of information rather than listing everything you should be doing. I really enjoyed this, essentially just like reading the wiki but its extremely streamlined and only useful info, awesome!
Perhaps you could have added something else to the creatures section for those REALLY new to the game. The creature can generally (there are exceptions) be lumped into three main categories based on their aggro. 1. Those that will never attack the player. These usually include most of the smaller creatures such as Dodos, Lystros, Archaeopteryx, Coelocanths, and such (one notable exception is the Microraptor however). 2. Those that attack when provoked. This mostly applies to larger herbivores such as trikes, stegos, brontos, doedicurus, titanosaurs, and other such creatures (however creatures like Gigantopithecus and Therizinosaurus will attack when you get too close). 3. Those that attack on sight. Usually including most of the carnivores such as dilos, raptors, carnos, rexes, gigas, sarcos, Kapros, Megalodon, the list goes on and on.
Yeah, actually I have a video on how to make your own dedicated server if you're interested in that. As far as settings go, I have some hand-crafted settings that I've been building for a year or two, that I use on my servers. Also, please do consider subscribing if you find my stuff to be helpful!

Alredy have subscribed and seen your dedicated server video! I’m actually planning on getting ark on steam when it goes on sale because the epic games version has been giving me lots of issues
Dude thank you so much I just playing Ark and I'm so lost on this island. I have tried to venture out only ending in my death due to evolution and inexperience. This video at least gives me an idea of where to go and not to go. Also I just play solo
why doesnt this have like a million views? as a noob ive been scouring youtube trying to find a good info tutorial but all i get are poorly written and poorly edited videos, anyways you sir are a legend
Im engram level 44 and feel like ive progressed in no way since level 15. Thanks for this video i can already tell im going to end up with 1000 hours on this game
Neddy: "Most beaches are *relatively* safe, save for south zone 2 and 3, east zone 2 and 3, all the north zones and some times west zone 3" Me, rapidly running out of fingers to count on: *eyes widening, sweats profusely*
Dude you helped really well the thing that caught my eye was the point in southern shores it had metal nodes and crystal and many more is it in a cave or what? If its accesable i have to get on over there...
How to underwater: Tame a breeding pair of icys. Level them killing babies and lystro buff Breed, and imprint babies. First gen should imprint at 120% movement, level it to 200% movement, then dump into stamina, and maybe some health to be about 300hp. Now anything that can threaten you, youll be out of render distance before they even finish their attack animation. Abuse ur 200% movement speed icy to farm deep sea crates and hard sea cave crates with no challenge or threat
The biomes refer to the animals that will spawn in a given location, not necessarily the terrain. Weatertop, while looking like grassland, is actually jungle, and the northwestern peninsula south of the snow area is actually mountain, despite being on a beach.
Also, in terms of difficulty, it is: Herbivore Island, Beach, Jungle, Grassland, Mountain, Swamp, Redwood, Carnivore Island, Snow. The jungle lacks the rex and allosaurs of the grasslands, and it is consistently hot, rather than alternating between hot and cold. But, it is far worse than the beach.
I've found that killing Trilobite on the beaches or in shallow ocean is a relatively safe way to mine Oil and Silica Pearls with the occasionnal Black Pearl drop. (It's also a great way to mine Chitin for those who don't want to venture inland yet.)
I moved from beach to the grass land by the south zone metal mountain on the lip connecting towards the 80ish longitude on south border it’s connected to a channel leading to the heart of the island through the swamp and leads through the red woods and around mountains going deep
Ok but I have a question that i've been begging for an answer to! Do you have to beat the gamma beta AND alpha overseer to get all the extra levels or can you just do alpha and be done with it? And also do you have to beat all 3 versions of each boss to unlock all the TEK crafting recipes. I'm at the point where I can take them on I just want to know if I can skip the extra nonsense and just go straight for the hardest versions and get everything.
Not sure if this will be useful seeing as it's a month late gamma overseer will give you 5 extra levels beta 10 and alpha 15 and you can just do alpha for the full 15 I never do beta or gamma and as for tek yes certain tek items are unlocked behind the alpha version so I'd reccomend doing them if you can
@@valkyriesmilk6697 Great on that first part. But the second part I meant. Do you have to also do (For example) the gamma and beta brood mother or can I just do the alpha brood mother and unlock all the tek she offers. (I'm taking a break from ark so don't worry about it being a month later)
@@Guardian-of-Light137 ah gotcha and you can just do alpha for all the unlocks 19 rexes with roughly 30k hp 900 ish damage at least a 100 armor saddle a yuty for the courage and you're set for all three bosses with alpha dragon you may lose about 6 rexes normally this is assuming you play with official stats I'd highly advise using theris if possible as they take 30% less fire damage from dragon and are smaller so sometimes he won't even breathe on them also for tek cave they're easier to manage as a solo player
Ngl the best starting spot is East 1 (there can be Rexes, Carnos and Raptors), build a raft as soon as possible and go to Herbivore Island. There's a lot of metal and basically free tames. Oh and where you spawn there is a cave with crystal
good video for me is allways the question on witch map I want to start follow the chrincal of ark maps or just start on a map and move from map to map not sure in the moment
this is probably a stupid question but say i beat the brood mother on alpha do i still get the tek grams from the lesser versions? I have been looking for the answer to this for like a month and still dont know. great vid by the way.
Hey i have a Question so always if im joining to my singelplayer world and i have changed my settings it wont change and i dont know why can you help? :( Its really not fun because i just find low level creatures. Sorry for my bad english im German :)
@@NeddyTheNoodle OK thanx. But thats not the track thats playing at that point of your video. I've been looking all over for that specific track but no one is able to help me.
Just got into this game seriously like two months ago currently built up to take on the beta brood mother. I have enough artefacts built up to fight her four times so I can try all levels and one wipe run if needed. I want to stream it on twitch didn't know if this still has the appeal seems it does.
@@NeddyTheNoodle hell yes thanks bro, been looking through all the albums on TH-cam and Spotify I could find. I coulda sworn it was in his batch of Extinction OSTs. Guess I was looking in the wrong place. Great vid by the way man, informative and organized as usual
hey neddy! i have a question. i’m close to ascending from the island so when i start on scorched earth do i upload my survivor to carry on with scorched earth or do i create a new survivor? if you or anyone can help that would we helpful :)

Do you do any other reviews? I like to look at things to see if it's worth the play time and its definitely good.
I just watched a 20 minute tutorial for a game I already know how to play.
It was worth it.
Yea
Me too

Yup right there with you
Man this video is criminally underrated

Exactly this should be arrested
This is super helpful

Thanks Lizard!
3:04 “recommended only experienced survivors” me as a beach bob who chose to live in the swamps for some reason 🤣🤣🤣
ARK Devs Should be really looking for this man to do lore-related things
He has done the survivor stories

doesn't waste my time, gets right into the video, and a great vid to boot. liked + subscribed
Much appreciated!
Me watching this while only at level 25:
Guess I've still got a lot left to do...
Im lvl 9 and watching this
As someone who has never completed the island (or moved onto any other map) I think I can give this a shot.
Never felt more excitement from watching a tutorial, THIS WAS EPIC!!!
This tutorial is worth the time. It covers the most basic and important stuff, you got my like and comment for youtube algorithm.
I'm a new player and this video was the most informative I've seen....thank you so much.
I feel like this video has brought me back to another life.
I legit watched this 4 times it’s sooo good. Please do more maps like genesis I am excited to hear!
New favorite ark channel hands down.
This is one of the best guides for an ark island I have ever seen, thanks for putting all the effort in :)
this video provided me with all the information i needed, and some, this was amazing and i really appreciate the work put into this
This was a cool video man 👌 I've just started ark this month and I'm loving it!
Imagine the megatherium getting a buff every time there is a bug in the game. Constant buff lol
Your video's are amazing, easy to understand, very, very well made (you make the game look beautiful) 10/10 dude!
Best! Walk through. Ever!!! Just started out again after not playing for a few years and after watching this I'm so excited to play again
This is the best Ark video I have EVER watched!
This is the first video I've seen from you, but It's an instant Like + Sub from me. Great work man, super useful and well made
Haha finally found the video i was looking for....a break down of the island not a really long play through series. Thank you
