Celebrate the return of an ARK community classic, updated with a new real-world dinosaur for you to tame, and now added to ARK’s Official Server networks! Crystal Isles is 150 square kilometers of colorful scenery and awe-inspiring biomes teeming with life. This map's supernatural beauty has won the hearts of the ARK community since its debut as a mod in 2016, and we've polished it to bring out its shine.
Whether you think you know Crystal Isles or plan to explore this map for the first time, you should be prepared for new discoveries. Build your bases high in rainforest canopy and mysterious floating islands, then dive deep into undersea caverns in search of resources. Tame and saddle up your own Tropeognathus-ARK’s newest pterosaur-for a dizzying jet-fuel-powered ride into aerial combat, complete with powerful mounted flak cannon!
Crystal Isles includes:
A 150 sq km map with a wide variety of unique biomes to explore
The Great Valley, a rainforest with bogs and towering tree limbs that lend new options for base-building
Eldritch Isle, an eerie and challenging realm worth braving for its valuable resources, like Element and oil
Emberfall, a fantastic region of vibrant foliage and volcanic danger that also rewards exploration
Apotheosis, a cluster of floating islands tangled with vines and roots, shot through with cavernous pockets, and spilling over with waterfalls
Tropeognathus, a tameable pterosaur new to ARK with an expansive wingspan and stamina for long flights
Three types of crystal wyvern types for you to tame and breed
A new custom boss arena
New Dinosaur Tame: Tropeognathus! This large pterosaur from the Cretaceous period can now be found making its home on Crystal Isles. Tropeognathus’ keel-tipped snout can quickly gnash victims’ armor into bits, and when outfitted with a saddle containing a jetpack, its speed and maneuverability are second-to-none. Also providing a built-in flak cannon available to the pilot, this terror of the skies can engage in aerial combat with extreme deadliness - เกม
Reply to this comment with any tips for the Tropeognathus! Let's make it easy for new friends to find the gems. I learned a few cool things from you guys already like how drafting always works behind enemy flyers. Mannnn disappointed there were a few technical errors that happened with this video :( Not sure what happened with the render...
ThickFreedom how do you get crystal isles on ps4
@@Jack_Birch it ain't out yet, but the tropeo is a rare spawn on th vanilla maps, or so i have heard
Does it grind items in its inventory? Does melee affect its resource rate as a grinder?
the drafting happens when youre near flyers cuz the trop (thats what im calling it) benefitz from flyers flapping their wings i guess which make them faster than most flyers also you didnt try trop against crystal wyvern cuz those things i think are way faster than normal wyvern
When you’re using the tropeo (tropeognathus) use the grenade launcher to lob tek grenades or tranq grenades at enemies
Ark day 1: running on the beach punching chickens
Ark day 479: Flying on a giant jet chicken with a grenade launcher
My server just hit day 450 and that couldn't be more true 😂
Jet Chicken 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ac-130 above
Implies people aren't still punching chickens in day 450 🤔
@zeru ishtar if they are they’re either losers or fresh starters .
the drafting is in the airstreams of dinos! so its basically for speeding up when chasing other tropeos
or catching up to that bob on his level 20 ptera and blowing him to the next universe
OR make a formation with your friends who are also riding some tropeo and wreck enemy bases, trust me
@@belindawang2350 I actually thought about doing this with some friends
Works on anything larger than a duck. Pteranadons and larger will allow you to use the slipstream boost. You can see the effect behind flyers. You do not have to be directly behind them, they just need to be in front of you, roughly on your screen. Seems to also work over canyons, like in the video, he was flying over a canyon and I get it over the entire wyvern scar on Ragnarok even if no wyverns are in the section I'm passing.
It is fantastic for kiting female wyverns into traps for milkmaid servicing. You are sometimes too fast and have to go get their attention again (grenades come handy in this).
@@konobakajay465 now all you need is friends and you are good to go. Jk
“Your journey starts in the crystal isles”
- in about 3 months
riiiiipppppppp console players
oof my guy
Fr console got shafted this update
The tropeo does spawn
In tapy spawns but has spawn rates close to a unicorn
Yay ... in my 4 years of ark I've only ever found 2 unicorns
Guess we have to just wait 2 months till it's been nerfed to holy hell
@@xblsplodin960 they won't nerf it, it's movement is all it has going for it, the grenades are pretty meh, sucks for us console players, just gonna mcspawn one in. the one thing they hopefully change with the console release is the sounds, the thing looks intimidating but it sounds like a tapejar, just hope they do that
I wish it came out sooner for us console players
Also remember when ark used to release a couple new Dino’s at a time. Now we rarely get real world Dino’s
Ye
Tropeoganthus was a real dinosaur but ook
Arlen Nemeth not a single dinosaur is real from all the past 3 dlcs genesis,extinction and aberration. And all of them are more than 20$ to get.
I mean it’s just a bird with a jet pack
bro THIS Im Tired of those stupid weird creatures this was a dinosaur game back in 2015-2017 tf has it become now
Pteranodon: I can't believe that smelly fish-eating dork gets to be the fastest out of all creatures!
Griffin: Same...
Tropeo: Ha Ha! Human technology make me go ZOOOOOOOM!
Ha ha! Cannon goes: B O O M!
God I love this comment and the replies lol
Bloodstalker: haha webs go fwooosh
@Jackson Boswell he showed the snow owl and mana and rockdrake are technically not fliers and he said its the fastest flier
We gotta appreciate how fast it is,because they'll probably nerf it like they did with Managarmr
And yes please go back over older dinos I still struggle figuring out what some do
Maybe I'll experiment. If this video does well
@@ThickFreedom As someone who's only coming back to ark now, I'd love to see some videos revisiting old dinos.
I can’t figure out how to dive on the bloodstalker on Xbox.
Wow, this seems like a creature that would be in a mod.
There is mod with that creature, but with a diferent model
It's a real ark creature u can spawn in it on console with commands
It was/ is
crystal island was a mod but where made official by wild card
@@kaito8724 R/woooooosh
Welp the GTA oppressor situation is about to start on ark
I dont think itll be as bad
Came here to make this comment
Hopefully it's not as bad but you never know. Wildcard seems to listen to the community though so if it was too OP, they would probably change
Ha wildcard is nice
It won’t
"Drafting" is a technique where wind resistance is lessened or eliminated. It is likely the drafting icon comes up when you are traveling in the direction of the wind speed or behind another trop
1:29 Nice jojo reference
I was looking for someone else who got it, hello my fellow man of culture!
JoJo is good
" he just does what he wants, devil may care" - Speedwagon
I love how he was shocked tht he could dmg every structure with the grenade attack even tho grenades can dmg every structure normally and ur using grenades....
Love how you don't have to hold W with the jet active. Makes getting across the map so much nicer
been here since the abberation dino guides you did man good stuff brotha
Yes please cover older dinos! It would be awesome if you included the historical meta and the current meta for each dino as well 👍🏻
Thanks for chiming in brother
the moment i opened youtube i saw this and its epic
Mega epic
JoJo S1WA hell yeah
It’s a lot bigger than I thought it was. Can’t wait for it to come to console!
Literally waited all day for this video to come out! Thank you so much for explaining how the Tropeognathus works!
Squad camping out! Tried to grind this out as fast as possible
Yo that jet powered flying in the intro sequence was low key awesome
Have yet to use this new dino, but my guess is that the drafting works similarly in real life, basically, if you're flying behind something, you fly with less resistance thus faster, drafting are used in different races.
Yeah. In water, it’s called a slipstream
I heard your amazing delivery of the intro and immediately subbed lol
This thing is literally awesome and the mechanics are pretty polished
Can't wait for the video 😁
The draft icon pops up when your around other fliers u kinda using the wind they are creating to boost yourself
I would have liked to know, which maps and areas you can find them in too though. But very nice video. I always love when these vids come out
That thing is actually the opposite of one of ARK’s main problems.
The Tropeo is undersized.
NutNinjaGoesBananas ERC how much bigger should it be?
It’s pretty oversized, it was actually about 8 feet long
Nvm I was thinking of Hatzegopteryx
ur vids r so well edited i would think u had at least 1-2 mil subs
Yes cover other dinos if you can! These videos definitely helped me, and with so many dinos in the game it would be able to see all their abilities through this format rather than reading a wiki
i helped with this (I think - my ark and download speed would say otherwise but still) Great video Thick!
Yes couldn't have done it without you
I love to use the new boost as cruise control, I'll set him boosting in the direction I want then open my inventory and he just keeps going. So nice for long distance travel 😎
Dictionary: Tropical rainforest
Thick: TRAPICAL
It's hard to pronounce holy molly
Troe-pee-oh-g-nae-thus
@@tyrantragethehelldragon8661 I pronounce it more like Troh-Pae-Og-Na-Thus
Quick tip drafting will always work behind a flying Dino, I did some testing, and when you fly behind one you will get the draft, this can be seen in the video as well during the speed comparison, on the pterodon
Good advice thanks for sharing.
ThickFreedom oh my cant believe you saw this no problem
My fuse on the drafting is it works on places with usually up draft so beaches, and canyons. The other part of it is the drafting is also available when in a slip stream. So if say a wayvern is flying if you draft somewhere behind it you get extra speed.
He back at it
I realize this is an old vid but as someone who just started using it and with ASA possibly drawing new attention, picking up players with the Tropeo is actually VERY useful, as it shreds armor extremely quickly. (Which is why it's balanced with the escape function.) It shreds so well in fact that you can use the Tropeo as a portable Industrial Grinder. Not as effectively, but it's an option for on the go trap making or inventory junk clearing. As for the drafting, I'm not 100% but I believe it works similarly to the wind turbines in that it's wind strength based, so certain areas are much more optimal that others.
Very helpful!
You said it right well done
I think in if you are behind a flyer it gets the drafting ability and I think it might Am also say in the dossier. Nice vid btw
I love frag and I am not even sponsored so seeing it qs a sponser makes me happy
Please cover older Dino’s! Love these videos
I found a high level one of these on fjordur and got excited when I knocked it out super fast and then was very quickly disappointed when I realized it’s NOT a knock out tame.. 🤦♀️ I had never heard of them despite watching hundreds of hours of ark content for over a year.. oh well, I left defeated lol
I give it a like Right away cause I know it’s going to be good !!
Same
this epic music, perfect for the tropeognathus
NEW VID YAY!!!!
Gotta love the tropeo
The "Draft" ability comes from other flying dinos. If you're flying behind something like a ptera or an argy you'll see it come into play more often, so about 100% of the time you'll just want to hold that jump button, which basically fits into the role that it was supposed to be. It's inconsistent, but some tiny flyers like the jug bugs also make draft - but something like vultures won't make draft.
Drafting is typically when you follow behind someone else so you don’t take the primary wind resistance, they do and you can utilize that to gain speed over them. People should try that utilization of that and see if it works
But for real tho are you using a texture mod or some awesome depth of field cuz this gameplay looks nice!
I feel that if you test flyer speed, you should also test against the Pheonix’ boost. As I’m fairly certain it is faster than a wyvern
It would be awesome to see you cover older dinos and see where they fit in the meta or if they're basically redundant now
Hyped looks dope
I know this doesn't count as a flyer but managarmr still has multiple boosters on its feet. Howerver, great video.
Finally! Someone who covers EVERYTHING there is to know about the Tropeognathus!
He actually missed some things. He chews up armor pretty well and makes it lose durability real quick and also it can be used as an industrial grinder.
The best guide out there
the melee attack is boosted by the saddle but the ranged attack isnt.
the armor stays at 25 even if the saddle is ascendant
the dino has a unique ability to destroy flak easily with its bite, despite its low damage i feel it will be used for picking up players and eating their flak while they struggle to escape (hence the escape mechanic)
I suggest you test this dino against enemies that have flak, in addition to armored/saddled dinos to test the armor penetration aspect of the melee bite.
Looks like I'm getting one of them tonight 🙂
Does anyone know how to turn off the jet on console besides dismounting or removing the gas from its inventory? I’ve tried like every button combination.
yea cover older dinos, youe very detailed analysis is really helpful to utilizing everything
4:13 How does he do the background blur effect? is it editing, because it doesn't look like editing, since it also worked through the hud!
I love this channel, still dont know why it has only 288k subscribers...
I think higher quality saddles do increase the damage on the gun. When I spawned in some ascendent saddles, all had the standard 25 armor but they all have a damage percentage that went as high as 500%. However I did not test primitive saddle so I’m not sure if the percentage is actually being applied.
Fun tame, playing on an unofficial cluster with flying speed skillup unlocked, 200% speed is awesome. Gonna push my next one to 250 maybe even 300
Drafting is for A. Catching up to other dinos by using their slipstream to move more quickly and B.can be used when above hot areas because little known fact when air is heated it becomes more kinetically charged which means the molecules are moving quite quickly this lowers the effect of vanderwaals forces on the air making it lighter and pushing it up toward the atmosphere which then cools it creating an updraft many gliding birds use this concept to stay in the air longer using the updrafts created when hard ground like concrete is heated in hot places or on hot days knowing this makes the drafting ability more reliable
What setup are you using!? It runs so smooth!
Wow! I didn’t realize it’s so fast! Final test though, is it faster than a fully imprinted snow owl. That’s the real challenge
Yeah! You should totally cover older dinos!
you forgot to mention he is also a grinder
Thats a lot cheaper than an actual Grinder
The drafting is based on if there are flyers in front of you, basically, if there is a flyer in front of you or on the screen you can draft
i love this guys voice. subbed.
Bruh What Kind Of PC Do U have Bc Ur Graphics are hella Good
I was so hurt when I didn't get my daily dose of "Ladies And Gentleman Of The Shaft!!"
It would be awesome if there would be a alt saddle that makes it have a basic machine gun with explosive bullets (also flying is changed to resemble the tie fighters/x wings)
Heck yeah, cover some older dinos!
the drafting works anywhere on the map, look at it more like slipstreaming, the reason you can't use it indefinately is due to the fact that you need another flier in range, flying around, to draft of it's winds.
and your forgot to mention that the tropeo is supposed to work like a portable grinder, although i tested this on official servers and doens't seem to work yet.
This will be great if you're trying to clear bob bases off server. I wonder if you can hit players while they're riding things like gigas with the grenades. If you can shred armor with grenades then this will be a huge game changer
With the drafting its supose to be used by flying by other flying dinos and you can use there draft to boost your speed without actually using your speed boost. Just fly close to a flying dino and u will see the draft available icon on the screen u can then use it and keep going by more flyers to keep boosting your speed instill your at max speed or where you want to be lol, if thst makes sence
funfact: this guy has another name: ornithocheirus. For some reason, scientist argued about this guy's name.
Yo thick, the draft can work on medium to large fliers and use them as a quick slingshot, just aim at the wind trail behind them
This may not be a fair comparison, but I'm guessing a managarmr's jet boost is faster than tropeo?
I feel like you should re do the mana as it’s had some serious patches in the past and ik it’s kinda late to say this but considering he hasn’t made a video on it I think it’s still valid
Somewhat hoping we can use the grenade thing out of boost, and can exchange grenades for something else. Ir maybe a tek saddle offering a tek rifle strapped on.
I love the tropeognathus because it is like the fighter jet or Night fury of Ark survival evolved
I love this its a f22 raptor
Anyone agree look at it !
10:45 Rockdrake: Heh I beg to differ 😆
The drafting also works off other flying creatures, even unridable ones like vultures
Finally,a video of yours that doesn’t have a thickbait title and thumbnail.
Interesting. I did call it being among the fastest but I was sure the griffin would still be faster overall.
You can also catch draft from other flying creatures midair.
I love this video
I love it’s colors
That menuvere thing reminded me of the banshee menuvere from basically all the halo games
OMG WOW SO OP
I seen this Dino....It toooooo good
Main problem with a tropeogaphas is that for some reason there's a glitch where it makes the crossair go off to the side. Don't understand why but it makes aiming really difficult cause you can't tell if your shot will hit or not
How do you deactivate the jet booster. I can't stop flying unless I jump off.
Did you test to see if its grenade attack can kill players off dinos specifically when players are riding gigas?
How do I land after I activate jet mode? Or how do I turn it off because the only way I can land is by dismounting (Console controls)
How does it compare against a mana or bogspider?
U can jet while carrying creatures as well
I would have tested a tropical crystal wyvern with the hydrated speed boost along with the other fast fliers. Just to see. I'm curious now...
You could do a whole "revisited series "!
