I think you underrated Aberration a little bit because you can't get cactus broth for the bossfight by default on this map. Also it's extremly hard to get element on it because you need two alpha trophies of an alpha Reaper and an alpha Basilisc and they're extremly hard to find. And doing alpha Rockwell is the best way to get element.
Thanks! I think they make some alpha missions slightly easier and probably make the bog a little easier as well, my guess is they do this through adding a new creature that helps early game progression
Fjorder at 5 is kinda high cause I’m gonna beat it as my first map simply because of shadowmanes they just make every boss (expect the dragon of course) look like a joke because of how op they are
Bro I wish I came across your channel earlier. Love how detail oriented you are and how confident you sound. Rofl 😂 🤣 I've been doing this for 3ish years and still don't feel like I'm quite there yet.
I agree with most of this list some maps I have not played yet but with how you explained each it makes sense I would have probably put the island at least 1 tier higher considering it is a grind and finding high level dinos when the island is notorious for spawning low level creatures makes it hard to find strong dinos for the boss fights
Honestly, the island would be easier if it wasn't for the abysmal wild dino levels. It's insane. On most maps, I try to get 150s for the breeding lines but, on the island, I'll take 120s because 150s are just so hard to find and they're still not guaranteed to be good, depending on stat distribution
Its Rare i say this to anybody on the internet but... I 100% agree with pretty much every pick. thats is insane wow. Extinction and gen 1 were my picks right from the start, though i am surprised to see gen 2 fairly high. I rly want to play through gen 1 again tbh, but all my friends are either done with ark, or are waiting for it in ascended.
Glad you agreed with it, I’ll be hosting events in my discord where I hope to get a lot of people playing ark again so if you’re interested in that join up!
Hardest part of the Island by far is finding a 150 rex or theri breeding pair. It can take weeks of killing dinos en masse if you’re unlucky enough and solo
Hearing that my first 3 maps im loading up. Is in order of difficulty but yet still not different 4rm eachother makes me think imma bout to hit the same level 3 times. Im talking about the Center Valuguero and Ragnarok.
I actually wanted to play thought the main 4 maps in order and did the Island (Tek cave killed most of my Rex's rather than the boss) and then Scorched earth which was frankly easy the way i was playing as I got go myself to an Obelisk and transfured my otter over. Then I got the Abberation and frankly I gave up. I took me hours to get even something set up and then finding out that there are no Flyers on the map just killed my enjoyment of the map. I also never downloades Genesis eaither as I knew part 1 was brutal and part 2 a joke, now to know that part 1 doesn't allow flyers eaither. Yea I'm glad I went onto Fyordir
I’ve never beat an ark map despite having about 500 hours across pc, Xbox, ase, and asa. I recently started on asa scorched earth and just got my first few wyverns. Hoping this is the attempt I stick with and finally beat!
@ I don’t think you can if you don’t have scorched DLC but you may be able to with it, I haven’t played the map in like 6* years so we’re in the same boat 😂
I get what you mean about genesis part 2 being extremely easy but you overlooked the most difficult part of it. That being the boss, Rockwell on genesis part 2 is easily the hardest boss in the game and that should count towards the final score. I would put genesis part 2 at number 7-6
@@olivergd5387 I don’t think it’s the hardest boss in the game at all honestly, the gen 1 boss, extinction final boss, the island final boss at least are definitely harder than it imo. Why do u think it’s the hardest?
Love it video now I know I suck at the game I've been playing ever since ASE I love it all the dino the other players if I can and when I can play but I have never done a boss fight I have a job and I work long hours so I know I can't play very long but now I know y or I just suck at it🤣 but like I said love ASE and ASA thank u for braking down the different islands I'm a new subscriber love ro watch more videos.❤🎉
glad you enjoyed it! hey no judgement here man i barely have time to make these on top of the other stuff i got going on, i get it. glad you still have time to enjoy the game!
It’s a grindy one for sure, the most consistent strategy in my opinion is just making a super strong theri army because it’s strong vs all bosses and Tek Cave
ive said in previous videos i think its the best map in ark, its just definitely more challenging than most maps even for experienced players because it just simply has more things that can kill you in it, the mushrooms alone are more dangerous than anything on crystal isles
@@DrewEye I made a video 5 months ago about a future extinction project and I’m sticking to it, that being said yeah crystal will be out like next year from now
I definitely think it’s Gen 1 but Extinction is by far harder than everything else. Extinction is the only map in the game that has an argument other than Gen 1 IMO
@@junkers87stuka71 it actually is in Ascended! There’s a cave that drops thorny saddles which can be industrially grinded to get cactus, look up “how to get cactus broth aberration” there’s a good tutorial on it by Jonna-X
Idk man gen1 was super easy. Yes the master controller is kinda difficult to get to but easy to beat. The map itself is easy, steg one kill ovis get mutton go passive tame one of the million mega high level basilo in the underwater biom get a bunch breed them up and absolutely destroy moder a thousand times you get insane loot from him sometimes and it will make the rest of the map easy, not to mention the lunat biom you literally can punch your way away from anything as long as you have med brews its easy af. There are youtube videos that explain the way to beat every alpha mission. So yes a brand new player, no tribemates and no youtube sure it would be insanely difficult butha very very very small amount of people play like that

As a new player any map is hard, doesnt matter what map or how easy it can be, if they dont know what dinos to use or what strats to get the best ones or whatever it becomes way harder
The island introduces you to taming the dinosaur they are all low level Scorched earth introduces you to the how dangerous the environment can be Aberration teaches you about how you are never safe as the namless can pop out of nowhere
@@creepyrabbit142 ohhh the skin? No that is not something I considered as it isn’t part of the base maps progression, also mjolnir is a culmination of like 6 maps
Yeah of course pvp is harder, especially official where everyone is cheating and you have to be online 24/7, this is a comment I would’ve made a couple years ago actually but I think Gen 1 is pretty hard to beat solo PVE and extinction is super grindy
Considering ASE has double the player base of ASA, yeah. The title also says every ark map, were you really expecting a list of like 3 or 4 maps? What a boring video that would be

Yeah the low levels are brutal for getting the mid game started, I’m picky and still do ~135+ for island and it’s awful
Awesome vid agree 100% beating all of arks maps was painful
yeah I've beaten all the maps at least once and I'm pretty happy with the rankings, Scorched Earth and Fjordur was the biggest tossup for me
I put fjordur over scorched because hati and skoll murdered my andrewsarchuses
@ yeah the range of bosses definitely makes it a challenging map
I think the island should be a little higher but it's only my opinion
I appreciate the effort u put in ur videos see ya🤙
I considered it over Aberration but I opted to go Ab, glad you enjoyed!
frfr
9:36 i'd say that the manticore is the easiest boss in the entire game (not just the top 6)
also amazing video

Ragnarok makes Scorched Earth engrams available aswell.
Except from a few nit-picks here and there, this video is pretty good!
Yeah I forgot that the scorched engrams also came in drops on top of being available from the mini bosses
@JasesAce I think that you can straight up learn them on the fly, but haven't played Rag in a long time so I might be wrong.

I could see it being above Fjordur but honestly I don't think it's very close to the top 4
also thank you! glad you enjoyed it!
To me I think the island or ragnarok are the best map for players starting out because they are simple but still provides enough of a Challenge.
And also nice video 😁

Gen 2 on console should be one of the hardest maps. Missions like Star Dolphin are extremely hard
I could definitely see that argument, if the missions on gen 2 were ridiculously hard I’d probably move it up somewhere around scorched and fjordur
man i haven't even beaten the island and i'm still on ASE (3.5k hours)

Rag early game is very generous resource wise for sure, it was a close call with that and Valg for me
