When a bear charges you, run twards it, but slightly to the side. It will pass you before it strikes missing most of the time. Its called Bear Jousting. Works for Bears, not always for Polars.
One of the Best Early Game weapons to get, Knife. Like all weapons knives have their own tech tree and can 2-3 shot wolves on Normal difficulty. They do run out of durability fast if you use them to Carve as well (its the tool used for skinning/cutting meat) so durability can run out quick but knifes are really great if you aim for the head. Wolves are my Early game hunt for food. Kill one, and leave the body in the open somewhere, Predators in the area will come for the "Fresh" meat. If wolves come, then hunt them leaving atleast 1 behind for more to come. If a bear or worse comes then your better off leaving. However, if a bear comes and water is nearby, (Water deep enough to swim in) then go into the water and swim backwards while striking the bear at the same time and you can kill it that way. (Same tactic works on most preds.)
I see that ive gotten some people that read my message and possibly used that as advice for early game, skipping the spear and solely using the knife or easy food by farming wolves. To make the hunting easy, say you just want the Leather, Bones, Fur.. When you hunt, harvest everything but the meat, leave the meet alone and preds in the area will come to feast. The Eye marker for awareness will turn into a Fork and Knife when they close in. As another tip, When building, Please dont waste time removing things you've placed just to put new pieces up. (Tearing down thatch to place wood, or stone, or iron walls and so on) Unlock and Craft a Mallet. Mallet Repairs walls but can also do something else, Hold 'R' and you can select a Type of Build Source (Wood, Stone, Metal, Glass, etc) and if you have the parts in your inventory, your can Auto Replace walls, posts, ceilings, stairs, etc. with the mallet. So long as you have the parts in your inventory and space for the parts your replacing, it'll switch them out for you. You wont risk structural weight by removing supports this way.
did you know that you can set your tames on defensive (or aggresive) mode)? They will defends theirself and if they aren't attacked by a horde they likely will sirvive And you can put doors or fences to block the entrance to your base area 👌
LOVED this! Loved watching your ark videos so it's awesome seeing you move on to something like this! I bought the game cuz of this video! Looks like so much fun!
@craigsimpson8380 this is only the start of what the game offers since the recording they added so many more features and they also have other maps and bosses! And biomes!
Wow. The final moment with that rest room at the top of the main base was perfect. The wooden bench, the fireplace...THE VIEW. That wooden room at 1:49:27. Тhen the tour of all bases... and when you went to the first base, I remembered how you started and how much suffering you had haha. Well done! Amazing video! It was an amazing adventure.🙂
@georgikirov2485 I'm glad that you appreciate what I was trying to portray in the final moments :) I hope to see your comment in a future 100days video.
Wait, you need oxygen in your suit, but the planet is clearly heavily covered in fauna. You can get pneumonia from caves, despite wearing the suit. This game needs to be reworked before I even consider it, just based on that alone.
As a 40 yo survival gamer I can say I'm master of this game thats why I hate to watch Icarus content but bro u have a different way of play like stroytelling stuff its really great. For me the best part u never watched the game before u play which keeps the mystery of it even for me who spent hundred of hours in the game not get bored whike watching u. Also if u like the game I hardly recommend dlc's for other maps. Keep up the good work. Warm Regards
@sacszadam1513 Thanks for the feedback, my guy! I heard the dlc is REALLY good and has so much more to it, like biomes and more bosses. I'm keen to try it again on that for sure!
Right, I was about to watch some TH-cam video’s about Icarus but now I’ll just let the game surprise me. I love exploring the worlds that game creators have made, so I won’t spoil it for myself then! Thanks for the heartfelt reply to this video @sacszadam1513.
@erinncerin9619 thank you for that kind message. I'm working on playing hard mode at the moment on the second map. It's proving to be a challenge for sure!
I quite enjoyed that ngl buddy! the panic of that big worm in that small cave would of been me too! Also cant believe the buddy died right before the end of the game sadge...
Great video bro, loving the humour aspect! I love survival games, I'll check this out for sure. The lightning part scared me hahahaha, imagine the odds of that happening and then fire again shortly after, again! And again 😂
@merian_d I'm work8ng on playing the second hardest map but on hard mode right now. If you loved this, wait for the issues I run into on this. I'm glad you enjoyed!
I was wondering why you killed so many high creatures that easy untill I realized you set your Open World to easy mode 😂 Especially as most of the time you were only using one of your three possible food buffs. You should try at least on normal. But nice video cuts
lol i love how your house burned down like every 5 mins was so funny, might be late but i tend to use dirt foundation as my floor and my house is less likely to burn down from the camp fire...
yeah I think they need to work on that, also I dislike how the animation they have to stop and then attack, I want interactive wolves where they launch then land and come at you again like a real life one. Make it hard :)
@OnixAcosta1398 I plan on playing the other map that has 3 bosses and more biomes! That and since this, they have added SOOO much more content to make the video even better! I saw they added defensive turrets. xD
@@ShaneTheShadow oh wow really? I know you can turn the nudity settings and stuff off completely, there's plenty of people out there who make conan videos but I dont know if its something else to do with the thralls that blacklists the video
@Aurexxia I mean Conan might be different, but soul mask, my mate told me he never got suggested videos on that game, and he watched a lot of them. This usually means it's black listed. I think it's to do with slavery aspects.
@@ShaneTheShadow ah yeah fair enough thought it could have been something to do with that all good anyways brother keep up the good work, nice to see you having a passion for other games aside from ark too
I've never played Conan but I've played soulmask. Which if you really think about it the mask just takes over your mind and bends it. Meaning it could easily erase the memories of their old tribe and replace those memories with you so they believed they were with you for years and years. Which is why they become your allies even when the mask is taken off. Just a thought to throw out there
Love the content bro super entertaining but it feels like I watched a hundred days of advertising lol 😅 youtube suks besides that keep up the content 👍
xD yeah it sucks, that's why I have TH-cam premium personally I haven't watched an ad on yt in ages. I look at it like this, I watch more yt then I do streaming services to I pay for it :)
@ShaneTheShadow Believe it or not I thought I replied to this evidently it didn't take. Sorry. Yes there are much harder maps. The second one killed my level 60 5 times. I took that one in there to help establish a base for my one lower char and my kids characters. Lol I suggest that you establish a base on open world olympus. Make it out of stone and make it pretty large as I am constantly adding to mine. I have sheep chicken 5 mounts a tamed wolf and about 6 bedrooms and my trophy room 3rd floor has rooms and 3 tier benches cause I thought friends and family were going to join me. I also have my farm.. If you ever wish a tour let me know. Lol Oh just FYI sec map has crocs birds jaguars etc. And thier levels are high.
@@audrischaney5972 VERY NICE! I really wanna try the other ones but atm im recording 2 separate 100day videos for ark, once I have done that I might come back and try those HARD maps :P I love the game, however I will need to start a new character because for the challenge thats how it works. Sounds like you really life this game, thats great the hear, I love the devs constantly update with new content.
Once you learn running always leads to death you learn to run at them and the way you can Juke enemies Bear is easiest to dodge, Polar not so much and stay in Sandworms Bite range and circle him with the odd jump before he bites to dodge it and repeat till dead And you need to speedrun getting stone building parts and guns ASAP, like I can't state it enough you wanna get a gun ASAP, you are golden and nothing can stop you with a Gat and some headshots........... On Olympus anyway Gud gaem, needs more resistance and reason to make a secure base, as there's nothing atm bar the odd animal or creature which quickly dies
