enjoy friends!

Ark gameplay from Owltime? Not what I was expecting to finish 2023 with, but I can be accepting!

Would love to see a legit full playthrough of this game from you. Its rare to see an ark playthrough from a fresh viewpoint anymore. A little OwlTime twist would be a welcome touch!

It's amazing seeing the lengths one man is willing to go through - when he doesn't know Narco Arrows are a thing. Amazing video as ever, happy New Year :)

I do like seeing you playing Ark for the first time and I just wanted to give you a few beginner tips with taming dinos so you can have a slightly easier time doing it- 1) To knock out a dino you need blunt weapons that can do Torpidity damage(knock out damaged essentially) because sharp weapons won't do it. 2) You can force feed knocked out dinos Narcoberries to keep them asleep longer if needed. (Also Mejoberries are the preferred food for most herbivores when it comes to early taming food.) 3) If a dino has babies following it around you can claim the babies(taming them) after you either kill or tame the parent. Those are my beginner tips for taming for you so I hope that they will be useful if you end up playing more Ark in the future.

I'm impressed you managed to knock out a trike without using tranq arrows! You'll need spoiled meat and narcoberries to make narcotics, which you can then use to make tranq arrows or to feed knocked out dinos to keep em sleepy. Herbs also tend to like purple berries better than the other ones!

Long time watcher, first time commenter, I LOVED THIS OWL!!! I play ark religiously and it was so fun to see it through your perspective as someone just starting out, it really invigorates my love for this game again with how passionately you play and how eager you are to learn new things 😭💜 You are a joy to watch!

The "I've been here for two minutes" happens alot in ark. It isn't a gret feeling when you spawn in on aberration just to get killed by a basilisk in 10 seconds (or raptors, carnos, ravagers etc).

Yoooo an ark vid hold up I need to get some popcorn

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

Some tips for you a hatchet gathers hide and stone better and a pickaxe gather meat and flint/metal better, I’d recommend when you are a high enough level to make a raft or two as they will give you a ton of xp when you craft it. Also the herbivores prefer eating the purple berries (mejo berry) it makes them tame faster and it raises the taming effectiveness which gives them more levels when you tame them

I'm also a relatively new Ark player myself, at least for legitimate solo survival gameplay. I want to give you some advice - acquire the tranq arrows blueprint, they're super easy to make needing only rotten meat and narcoberries for narcotics and then combining your arrows with said narcotics to make a borderline sureproof plan of knocking the dinosaur you want unconscious. When you kill a dinosaur that you see traveling with a baby, if you quickly rush to the baby you can imprint on it and instantly tame it to be your own. You have to have its required food/diet on you, because as soon as it's tamed they have extremely low health and are starving - as you feed it make sure to stay by its side so that way it's safe while it matures to adulthood. I'd love to see you make more Ark videos! The game is a ton of fun so far and I've been having a blast myself.

Im glad to played ark and that you hopefully enjoyed it even with all the bugs and what not, curious tk see jf there will be more vids on it. First video ive watched in 2024, hope you get a lot lf achievements and good news in 2024, happy new years my man 🎉

Happy new year famz 🎉 Starting the year with owltime 😂

Owl is such an amazing KZfaqr he can play anything from dinosaur survival games to horror games to cowboy games to now ark! And happy new year!

Loved it Owl, as someone who plays Ark a lot, I really appreciated the fact that you chose to learn through trial and error rather than searching the answers. It definitely makes it more authentic and entertaining! Also happy news years 🎉

I always prefer to play this game as more of a nomad- One dinosaur, just wandering around survivin'. It kinda gets ruined for me when you have a giant base and tons of dinosaurs

Blunt weapons do torpor, so you can knock out low-level dinos. That is fists, slingshot, and clubs. For high levels, you want the tranq arrows, which require narcotics. I'll always remember my first night in Ark. Getting attacked by a dilo in my straw hut, then passing out because I ate some narco berries. Lol

Happy new year 🎊 and thank you for uploading on this day. 😊 Enjoy the rest of this day! I'm looking excited forward for all the great content coming from you this year

happy new year owl! ❤

Getting attacked by raptors at spawn, even 2 minutes into the game is SUCH a typical Ark moment I swear to god. Glad to see you got the Ark Welcome!

I dunno what’s more impressive. The fact he didn’t find tranq darts or the fact he punched a trike unconscious 🤣! Gotta say I enjoyed watching this. Brought back loads of nostalgia of when I first played arch. Nothing more exciting than your first ever tame!

Welcome to ARK! I've been watching your channel for awhile and love your story telling. It's great seeing your story telling in ARK now.

Loved the vid as always . Arrows won't knock a Dino out they will just kill them U need to get narco Berry's to make narcotics and tip your arrows with them to knock stuff out . Hope U make a part 2 and keep up the great content

As someone who was told ark was' basically a farming sim with dinos' a few years back, your reaction to the spino was much more level headed then my one was😅 great video!!!!

Niiice a drop from OwLTime on New Years eve! Thanks for all the great stories the past year I'm looking forward to watching the last of 23 and wish you and yours a Happy New Year with an additional 100k to boot!

Happy New Year boss. I'm glad I found your channel and look forward to what 2024 brings! Thank you for all the entertainment!

You talking underwater makes your videos so immersive. Noticed this little detail watching your vids. Very cool that you check out this game!

It was good watching someone play this for the first time. I tried an Ark game years ago and didn’t enjoy it. Watching someone else play it is much more fun for me.

Absolutely loved seeing your first time in ARK. It's one of my favorite game series, and seeing someone walk into the experience with a fresh approach and without looking everything up is amazingly satisfying. I found myself rooting for you throughout the video, even in spots where I knew you weren't going to be successful. Please, do more ARK content. Your storytelling ability, your approach to commentary, and your general demeanor in the game and to the challeges you face are so compared to other people that play this game. Your persistence was also very much enjoyable and I hope you continue to make more ARK content. Whether its Day Z, The Isle, or ARK content you continue to make, you've got a fan in me Owl. Keep on keeping on my friend! ^_^ 👍

great video as someone who has been playing ark since it dropped it was really refreshing to see that new player experience also props for not looking up videos made the whole thing more genuine

was really fun to watch you have the same struggles i did when i first played ark years ago, im enjoying this new series a lot hope you are too

Owl... i freaken love it... ive taken inspiration from you and I might try some content creation just because you post awesome content like this... ty.

It's so fun seeing you learn this game, looking forward to the series.

The lore for ark is really actually interesting

keep it up i love your vide because your always so calm every other isle and ark youtuber can stay have a good new year :)

Definitely should continue this! Was fun watching you figure things out lol. I remember doing the same when I first got the game, then it fried my last pc lol.

As a Legacy player who's been playing since this game came out, I hope you try to just learn the entire game on your own from scratch. I love seeing this. It brings back so much nostalgia for me. I love watching brand new players. 💛 Good luck and don't get attached lol the Arks give and the Arks take. Dedication is what's important, but if you play a lot this takes over your life. Play in moderation.

Bringing in the new year watching you in Florida👌🏼

This reminds me of my first time playing Ark love the vids man keep up the good work

this 30 min was a very very good moment ! thanks for that, hope you will continue whit this game

only came across this channel recently and I think this is my new favourite. you know its good when you always go to watch when you're eating lol

I love how you just go through your role playing dialogue and all you hear is “prrrrrtch” the sound of your character shitting itself 😭😭😭 great video btw ❤️❤️

No way how cool. I’ve been waiting for you to do an Ark Video! Excellent ability and content my friend 🙌

I love ur commentary it truly makes it entertaining and everytime you are underwater i love the realisim 🤣🤣. Make a series please ❤ either solo or online both are awesome especially with u narrating ❤️

The paras farty noises make me giggle

Lets goooooo. A new series from a great story teller. Happy new year mate. Will be watching every episode

Owl getting excited over a lvl 3 trike is everything 😭💖 Sadly i think Ark is one of those games that require tutorials or something cuz they dont make it easy on ya!

Great storytelling and I really enjoy your videos, good job man👌 keep it up!!!!

I mainly subscribe to ARK KZfaqrs, but I saw your isle gameplay and thought “this is pretty good” so I went to your channel what do l see? You’ve got yourself a new sub and I am 100% hoping you continue this series, and I hope you have fun doing it!

owl time ark era is something im really glad to be around for, been hoping you swing around to this game!

Happy New year bro this video was entertaining and awesome

You always have bomb videos one thing that caught my attention to your content especially tye isle is the narration of your videos I love the fact that u say everything your about to do and tali strategies love it man love your content and love u man hope you continue to grow

Was thinking of you playing ark the other day lol I’m so happy it’s come true

Welcome to Ark, this reminded me so hard of when I started playing haha also I love the little detail you put on your voice when you go under water

Awesome stuff! Please more of this 🙏🏼

Happy New Year OwLTime! 🥳🎉 As always, thanks for making such an amazing video! ARK has always been my favorite dinosaur survival game and watching someone play for the first time was such a treat! ~❤

The poop mechanics combined with your dramatic storytelling was hilarious.

seen a few videos, the muffled voice underwater gets me everytime, cheers.

I'd love to see more ark from you! There is so much to learn, but once you do... the possibilities will open up for you so much. Don't want to say too much in case you do revisit and wish to work it out for yourself. Enjoyed the video!

Amazing owl!! Keep it up! Ark is an amazing game! Eventually you can craft so many amazing things!

Ooo, excited to see you playing Ark! It's got a steep learning curve and early game for a new player is extremely frustrating, so don't get attached to your dinos or items. 😂 I hope you have fun with it, though! Once you get the hang of it, building massive bases, exploring, breeding mutations, fighting bosses, etc. is really fun. :D It will take quite a bit of time to get to the end the first time, though.

EEEEE happy new years I am so excited for this video as a ark lover

Lfg I love Ark and your commentary style video

You did it!! I remember asking for ark in your humankind odyssey play through, the one with the apes! Happy new year by the way!!! I really appreciate you 🎉🎉🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR OWL i hope your Next vid Can Be A Rust Video that game is amazing and i would love to see you play much love🎉🎉

Would love to see you play more of this game!

Loved this video, hope you upload more ark

Hell yeah I was waiting for this but still didn't expect it lol also Happy New Year

I wasnt expecting you to play ark, but that sounds like a great idea

The minute you saw the Spinosaurus and pooped yourself was gold. You can't write that stuff lol.

Welcome to the Ark, Survivor. The other survivors are brutal, and the environment is unforgiving. But with mastery, comes Ascension.

It’s very interesting watching somebody enter ark with absolutely no clue about anything and not willing to look things up, I think it’s in some ways more interesting to watch you figure out what to do!

After so many hours of playing Ark, this reminds me of when i started playing it, the thrill, the panic, the joy and the sadness... I loved it all, except pegos... i hate pegos... Anyway i love you content, it was nice to watch the new player experience, very nostalgic 👍

You use the dinos to gather berries / thatch / wood / etc. Once you get them. Paras are good at getting berries early game. There's some pretty good tutorials. There's even an app that'll tell you how many tranq arrows,etc. a creature will need. But yeah, there's all sorts of good info around. I had to read up on this game when I first played it, going in blind was too aggravating.

Awesome. Definitely need a part 2

Omg my suggestion worked! I remember I said maybe u can do ark vids!!! Happy new year!

As someone who completely quit playing this game for many reasons, I would watch a full play of this game

It's great watching new players learn Ark, hope we see part 2

It’s so cool to see you finally playing ark.

I like the voice effect you did when swimming

I would love to see more of this!

So nice to see our boy Owl finally play ARK. I been waiting for this moment it is a good game to add to the dino collection! xoxo 💙

Ark? I can’t say I expected it but yeah I totally welcome this to the channel with open arms!

Also if you craft a thing called a bola you can immobilize smaller creatures like parasuars and raptors to either escape or tame them

what a way to start 2024, i hope to see this playthrough more :D

so much isle experiance breaking legs, and you still fall off half the cliffs you find lmaoooo aaah it been ages since ive played this but that little winged dino that killed you with the spider near the start is MY FAVORITE COMPAINION!!!!

my life is complete knowing my favorite gameplay youtuber graced my favorite game

Pleasant surprise good to see u on ark

Build traps to tame things. Just a little hint.

I personaly have above 8000h on ark and in the other hand Iam completly lost in the isle and its fun to watch owl when he's trying to figure out things i alredy know

Absolutely love OT's isle videos. And I love ark. This is a good combination.

Pro gamer playing Ark with 0 experience when the game has been out for so long is a hard watch but its OwlTime so I watched the whole video. Happy New Year mate :D👍

Watching you shoot an animal full of arrows and then wonder why it wasn't falling unconscious was the most frustrating thing I've ever seen.

Didn't expect this but this was great

my dream has finally come true hope you enjoyed it my man and happy new year!

Oh HELL YEAH, I have been WAITING!! Thank you Owl!!!

OH BOY I WOULD KILL TO WATCH YOU PLAY THIS AS A LEGITIMATE PLAYTHROUGH

Had a lot of fun watching you play ark. Love all of your videos. If you keep playing ark, i hope you can get a terror bird (the herbivore with the long claws. I honestly thought it was a carnivore when i first saw it, it's so violent.) Super scary creature but it's super fun. Have a good new year!

A part two would be great!
