Welcome to ark ,don't go to swamp ,don't go to redwoods,if it looks like it can kill you it will if it doesn't it will still kill you and you will always need more metal

Here’s one that goes hand&hand with the dismounting flyer midair one trying to skim along the water surface and having your mount kick you off and fly in circles while you’re basically stranded in the middle of the ocean at the mercy of megs and the jellyfish

I remeber once accidentally dismounting from a Pteranodon when I was close to an Obelisk, and this was my first playthrough so I thought for a while that Obelisks just did that normally. Due to this traumatic experience, I never went near an Obelisk again until my friend pointed out that I was just being an idiot.

Where is the biggest mistake? *Where is the mistake of going near therizinosaurus?*

After several years of playing the game, my biggest noob mistake would be thinking that I'm no longer a noob. This game is ruthless, and that is what I love about it.

I’ve leveled up to near 80 on my single world, and i have a lot of experience. here are some things i’ve personally learned: -Don’t go near anything you don’t know or punch anything you don’t know. -Don’t take any eggs other than passive mob eggs, unless you want to fight. and yes, Pteranodons and iguanodons will attack you when you take their eggs. -Stay away from the redwoods and swamps if you don’t have proper gear. Actually, avoid the swamp altogether unless you can help it. -Take essential gear, but keep your weight down at the same time. don’t take valuables unless you need them. -Avoid griffins at all costs unless you tame them. they can and will kill anything. -Take some time to farm resources. seriously please do it. -Utilize your tames for max benefit. Ankylosaurs are good for metal and stone, Equus are good for land travel, Dire Bears are good with fiber and berries, Pterandons are good for fast sky travel, Tapejaras for sky tames, Argentavis for hunting and sturdier travel, Triceratops for tanks, and many more. that’s all i have for now. i hope this helps

5:30 Oh no, now the level 4 bronto is only getting 1 extra level instead of 2. Absolutely ruined!

There's also taking shortcuts across water on the Island or the bog in Gen because the game can always turn into a flying crocodile and piranha horror movie. Especially if you just tamed something cool.

Top Ten Dinos you SHOULD NOT approach unprepared. *Number one: Therzinosaur*

While force feeding food to tame is a more likely mistake to be made by a new player, accidentally dismounting a flyer is far more disastrous. Even if you survive the fall with a parachute (which I mostly didn't use in the beginning) you still run the risk of landing in the ocean or near dinos that can kill you before your flyer reaches you.

My worst mistake ever was thinking that Guillie Suit is not worth using cause the Flack has better Protection. But in ARK what doesn#t notice you can´t kill you.

For years I watched ARK before I ever got it. Skip forward to this year, ARK became free for PS+. So I dint make very many noob mistakes but my friends made all of the mistakes on the list. And I would get so mad at them.

One of the things in Ark that had me weirded out as hell, was how I ended up farming spoiled meat. For narcotics, of course, but nonetheless it felt weird farming spoiled food. Also don't be fooled, the lake is not a shortcut on any map, unless we're talking speedrunning a death-sentence.

For me my biggest mistake early on was getting attached to my dinos. They all eventually die and it makes you wanna quit. Dont get attached as you quickly learn they are all replaceable

I'm surprised whistle all isn't in this list. Though it's like dismounting a flyer in mid-air, everyone still does it from time to time, especially on console where whistle one and whistle all are only a slight wiggle of the stick apart.

I definitely tried to tame an alpha! Spent hours taming a spino then got it killed attacking an alpha raptor, then tried to tame that alpha on a rock and SHOCKINGLY got nowhere

I've definitely made made a few of those mistakes 😂 another mistake I made was making a trap to tame my 1st spino and it climbed straight out and ate me! 😱🤣

I used to play a lot of Minecraft with my niece and nephew, when my (then gf) fiancé introduced me to ARK. Any time I wanted to open my inventory while flying, I ended up jumping off my flyer 😂 To this day, I carry parachutes on me at all time

I don't feel like "Difficulty Slider" is a mistake, it's more of an interface failure from the devs. I'm not bad mouthing their effort in general, but surely there's a better way to do this...

the triceratops doesn't care if you were just trying to punch the dodo that ran under of it.

Here’s another one, watch your mount’s stamina. Especially if it’s a flier, there’s nothing more awful than dying because your mount lost all of it’s stamina. I remember the feeling of exhaustion I have while trying to find my ptera after it kicked me out of it’s back due to lack of remaining stamina. I survived my journey to the nearest land, but took me an hour to find my mount.

I recently started playing ark. My two biggest mistakes revolved around the same alpha raptor. I was busy taming a raptor and did that succesfully, i found it surprisingly easy and say a red glowing raptor mauling away on a corpse on my right. I shot all the tranq arrows i had left on the raptor with no effect. I moved with my tame and raptor to my base which was close by the alpha and went up to my roof to smelt some stuff. From my roof i had perfect sight on my surroundings and kept looking at the alpha, still busy with the corps, and thought to myself that this certainly must be a glitch. I jumped down from my roof and attacked the alpha raptor, which quickly killed me. Shame, i thought to myself as i rode out from my base on my trike as i respawned, ready for another round with the alpha. I was standing on a hill so i kept yeeting the alpha of as it ran up to my trike, but eventually it got up there and killed my trike and afterwards me. That was when i noticed it was not a regular raptor but an alpha. After a quick google i decided to let it roam around and be very aware of its location. Fast forward two weeks to yesterday, i decided to jump on my raft with my ankylo and farm some rocks along the river. Guess who else was alongside the river, the same alpha (my base is in the little bay on the first spawn on the island, so it's not that far away for the alpha to end up there). Better prepared now with a longneck rifle, pistol and plenty of ammo i decided to start a rematch. I kept shooting the alpha two to three times before rowing a bit further away to the ocean to maintain distance. I actually managed to kill it and get my reward. My victory was short however, as a leedsichthys that had been attacking me earlier decided to destroy what little health was left on my raft, and threw me and my ankylo in the water. That was also my first encounter with the blue jellyfish, and boy do i hate them since both i and my ankylo didn't live to tell the tale.

Honestly, I think the volcanic biome (very hard) is easier than the bog (easy)

not putting tames on passive when your taming a creature. nothing worse than your argy killing that anky your taming when it hits u

In a debate of semantics, I always chose spawning in the southern regions and staying to the south-southeast, not puzzling together that this was why I always ended up getting mauled by a bary or spino while trying to travel inland, or, perchance, having to walk through the bog to get to the redwoods, and.. getting mauled by everything else.

Not as big of an issue as it used to be but another noob mistake is ignoring your stamina when swimming because you still have Oxygen left. Another is leaving all your dinos, espcially flyers, on attack my target. If you try to tame something they attack and try to kill it, and if you need to make a quick getaway from a baddy you have to get them to either stop fighting it and risk dying or run into the fight you are trying to avoid to try and mount the dino/flyer and if you fail you usually die. Oh and since they updated it, hiding on rocks from medium sized dino or bigger, and a couple of exceptions of smaller dinos, since they can scale the rock easier than you.

I always spawn in the ocean Biome as it's the most peaceful biome out of all Gen1, mostly cause the threats remain in the water and only Timid or passive creatures are on land

The noob mistake isn’t dismounting accidentally, it’s not carrying 6 parachutes in your 10th inventory slot at all times after accidentally dismounting midair once, leading to multiple deaths and lots of trouble trying to get your stuff back as a rex, carno, alpha raptor and theri wait at your dead body with the sole purpose of stopping you from recovering that ascendant shotgun you got several days before.

Dismounting mid flight is def a noob mistake lol My biggest is going out to tame something and forgetting to bring something, bolas, nets, narcos, kibble, etc. I always forget something lol

When I melted iron, I noticed that sometimes there was a piece of metal left that never melted. I thought it was bugged, and used to trow it away 😂 I was yesterday years old, when I actually countred the ingots I got from 8 metal, that I realised it takes two metal pieces to make an ingot, that's why a single piece will never melt 🤡

One of my friends plays pvp, and he was telling us about a noob he saw on the pvp servers... Ran right up to a wild giga as if it had been a rex and punched it in the leg. It went about as well as you'd expect, and then the twit was in server chat with "that wasn't a rex!" Dude, gigas look very different from rexes. Always take a good look at the dino, and if it's really big and toothy go the other way FAST

One of the most annoying mistakes you can make at any level is accidentally hitting J in your base and watching all your egg dinos and fliers spread all over the place, and having to spend ages soring them all out again afterwards.

Hey raasklaark! I think a mistake that is 99% of the time, overlooked. Is thinking that levels you add to a tame translates over to the babies. Common mistake that i rarely hear about

I never toss out charcoal, but when 6 of my dinos have 600 spoiled meat each, I tend to get rid of some of it

I can still remember playing on the island with a friend and we tried taming an 102 alpha raptor for like 2h, probably died around 40-50 times until we realized that they don't have a torpor bar

Along with apex items is most new players don't realize their creatures won't pick them up after a certain weight.

If you are new to ark here is some tips: don’t go to snow,sea,lava’s,forests,mountains,caves,swamps,highlands,and redwoods Don’t take any egg’s except if it’s yours. Anything that move is your enemy except a pig,bird,and a lizard everything else is trying to rip your heart off. Anything with claws will kill you but anything without claws will also kill you. If you see A N Y glowing thing run away. Pump lvls into weight movement and health. Stick to the beach and be aware of every pixel that comes in the screen except if you want to die. Don’t search for high lvls because you will never find one. If you get a flyer stay at the air because everything in the ground wants to rip your face off. If you hear noises of roars,trees falling,or any suspicious sounds run. You need a lot of resources. You need a lot of resources. You will never have enough metal. You will never have enough tranq arrows. You won’t get mutations. You will have fun (in some way). You will need a lot of polymer,hide,fiber,metal,pearls,and every other material in the game. You will never find what you want. You need to have a strong armor. You will die with strong armor. Beware of missclicks. And lastly you will never get the ascendant pump shotgun blueprint you want.

My biggest noob mistake? Either underestimating the caves or trying to tame a Seagull like a pego, lost a lot of mutton that day.

We have all felt that time flying on your flyer accidentally press dismount button over the ocean

Were it not for my tribe, I would have done every single one of these. Sadly, I'm very guilty of yeeting myself off critters, throwing away charcoal, and trying to force berries into a jerboa when I was starting out. And sadly, several years in and I still yeet off of fliers when I least expect it. I like this list a lot. I feel less alone in my yeeting.

1 word: therizinosaurus

I honestly feel like knocking out passive tames is one of the most common mistakes

- Not knowing Stegos were the answer to bloodstalkers, kapros, micro raptors, etc etc etc constantly dismounting you. - Not knowing what to do with Leedsys while in a raft - Not knowing Basilos were the Stegos equivalent of the sea (can't be force-dismounted) - Thinking if I crouched in a bush those raptors wouldn't see me. - Not knowing sarcos dismounted you too - Not knowing Otters could farm pearls while in your shoulder - Not knowing that you could take the items from a beaver dam (i thought i had to destroy it first 🙄) - Not knowing items lasted longer on a Dino's inventory And I mean, I could go on and on and on infinitely... Ark is so hard, man...

Here is a tip for you incase you want a certain structure to be useful, if you are playing single player, go into advance setting and scroll til you find passive def, make sure the box is checked as this will allow you to use spike barricades and spike barricades can be very nice as a replacer for walls. Plus Spike barricades are good for obtaining sort of free resources from dinos. Also another thing, Bolas, do not underestimate them, infact I decided to play through scorched earth again recently and used Bolas, it saved my bacon from Terror birds, raptors, hellpigs, and more.

Any real survival game player knows to never throw anything away, no matter how early in the game. Stack it all somewhere, because every item has its purpose and it will come into play at some point.

My first noob mistake was definitely trying to tame an alpha raptor. tried to bola it first. Was hella confused as to why it wasn't working and how it killed me in 3 hits. Then tried to get my revenge by bringing over 4 raptors that were all under lvl 100 and riding my carno that was probably lvl 20 maybe. me and that carno were the only survivors and he had a sliver of health left

How is touching the water while on a flyer not in here.

1-build a 3x3 using stone walls and railing foundations 2-get on your argy 3-find a casteroid of any level (level does not matter) 4-pick it up and put it in the pen you made 5-it will constantly spawn beaver dams in the pen (it usually takes 3-4 in-game days) 6-do it with 5-6 beavers=boom unlimited cp Tip:when you collect the dam make sure to get all the resources then get out of render then back again so the beaver stops aggro

Number 4 could also be combined with "Trying to tame Event Dinos". First Fear Evolved I was driving myself nuts and pretty much wasted all my time trying so hard to tame a skeleton raptor. Didnt realize they are also like mini bosses, and you can really only kill them and hope for a skin costume look.

I kept everything when I first started (now 2k hours under my belt). My constant noob mistake is pulling a Prerafier, and jumping off my base without my sino or a parachute. (I’m probably worse, since I’ve literally whistled my Sinomacrops to follow, thinking it’s my back up one and proceed to hurl myself to my death- I actually did it this morning. 🤣)

Before playing the video I can already tell that force feeding creatures while taming them is gonna be on the list

Not a noob mistake but I remember taking a stam break with my Ptera, then a Diplo came and shoved me off the cliff right into a pack of Terror Birds and one Carno. Fun times :)

The only boss tributes I've ever thrown away are sauropod vertebrae and argentavis talons since both are easy to get lots of (vertebrae drop from lots of decently easy creatures, while argys are common and not difficult to kill)

I made 2: 1. I flyed to close to grownd of swamp as i was laughing at sarcos,carnos, titanoboas and kaprosuchus but one of kapros quicky revenge my flying friend as me too 2. On day i tamed an horse i was so happy of him, Second day my horse nearly died of therizino cuz i thought i could nock him out, the oceon saved me and my horse of that long claw monster

Accidentally Dismounting a flier mid air but land in water: 😌 Seeing a lot of high lvl megs swimming towards you: 😱

I actually really enjoy running off into the wilderness unprepared and seeing how long I survive XD

I feel good knowing I started a week and a half ago and I have only made one noob mistake. But seriously, leaving your flying Mount while flying?! How do you do that on accident?!

The best part is compys running up to you while you’re farming stone or wood. Also with the dismounting while flying…i was usually one to run outta stamina mid flight…usually up near the mesh where you kinda just stand on your tame not knowing what to do

many were not funny at the time, but sure are now that I've learned from them, especially when I hear that I wasn't the only one 😂😂 those stories are the best, thank you for the laughs

Great video as always keep up the good work

When i started to play ark, i tried to bola and tame an alfa raptor🤣🤣🤣

Take this piece of advice from my time in ARK, if you think you're prepared for Cave delving. That you couldn't POSSIBLY be any more ready ...Spend another several hours getting more ready, Caves will chew you up and spit you out if you are not OVER Prepared. I thought I was ready for a cave on The Island with my extra chunky Sarco and nothing else...and it was mauled to death by bats within moments of hitting up the Artifact of the Massive Cave.

I remember the first time I encountered an alpha raptor. Just so happened to be when I was looking for raptors to tame. I found it mauling a parasaur carcus. I thought it was a bug. So then I attempted to bola it. Then I got closer,and that was the worst mistake I ever made. Aside from getting close to a therizino.

I can't believe it's taking me this long to get into playing the "Ark-Survival" franchise. Everyday is an adventure and you are so right about the mesmerising join of glowing "Troodon" eyes. 😂 ✌️

I remember when i saw cnidaria for the first time in close water, and I thought those were crystals or something what u need for late game, I ofc realised, that they came to me and then I jumped off the water

I left my tribe after hours of work.

My biggest noob mistake was challenging a sarco to a fight when it was biting my base, it chased me and I thankfully lead it to a carbonemys and killed the sarco.

Hehe. I remember running into my first thylacoleo. I was setting up another base, but in the redwoods. I saw something weird on a tree, all black. Grabbed my Argent to take a closer look, and I get jumpscared. I died, but my Argent was able to kill it.

6:33 Wait, what's the "Surviving from Lvl 1" mistake supposed to mean?

Taming an alpha, I know something about that 😅 But in the end it was killed and I got my first metal hatchet! :)

I remember the first time playing and getting to the point of taming and breeding rexs first egg, ate it by accident while trying to drop it 😂

Probably my biggest mistake was not taming dinos until after I unlocked and crafted a saddle for them, and ofc not taming dilos or compys since I obviously couldn't mount them. Eventually I learned I could use them other than just mounts, so now my first few tames are dilos and turtles as my personal bodyguards

Also importent 2 thing in taming for starters You cant tame dinos with stimberrys and narcoberrys And do not force feed stim berrys it will wake the dino up

Please Don’t bully Me for this but when i started playing aberration i threw away a alpha karkinos Claw

Dismounting a flier has evolved from a noob mistake to a mis hit button when you try to access its inventory and accidently press E instead of F... I was on my way to a damn Cave run when I yeeted myself off my Argie and also deployed my Sabre in a frantic panic and lost it all... safe to say I started a new game after that.

Thank you! Using these tips in my new play through. Would love you to watch!

Remember there's no need to waste resources on a stone taming trap when taming your first rex/theri/spino/megatherium a thatch trap one wall high will work fine because it's too short to be hit and if it doesn't work the first time just keep trying ark always has its bugs/ bad luck

Top ten hardest Alpha Bossfights in ARK?

Just came across Ur channel and gotta say I'm loving the name of the channel

That choose where you spawn thing is so damn true. I remember spawning at a place that said easy and had an alpha raptor and a sarco right near me xD

A useful tip for taming concerning with force feeding: if you are quick enough after knocking out a carnivore, you can actually force feed it meat to heal it without lowering its taming effectiveness. This is useful if you almost killed your new prize during knock out, and are worried something may come along and finish it off when you're getting kibble or it's preferred taming food. It's also very useful to heal it so you can start a fresh knock out at full health if something does come along a mess up a perfect tame.

Can you give me us personal top ten? Your 10 or 5 favorite moments you personally experienced? Top 10 favorite dinos? Something not communicty voted but your favorite?!?!

Omg so glad the flyer dismount made it in there. I've been playing for years. And I do this constantly

First time I played I spawned on island north east side in the swamp, at night time. As I was running along I saw a black streak go past my head I turned around lite a torch and saw the kapro which murked me. Then the first thing I tried taming while standing on my boat base was an alpha raptor which I then found out was untame able, also it destroyed my boat base. It was a sad time but funny when I told the guys I tribed up with later on lol.

Another top 10 thank you raasclark

Set Difficulty Slider hasn't been an issue for me since I'm a Single player type of guy and always set my Difficulty Slider to one regardless of whatever it is I am doing. But, regarding Difficulty, boy oh boy does that make me realize what kind of crap I'm getting myself into by letting Fjordur get a Difficulty Value of 20, meaning each creature can be level 600 at max level excluding Voidwyrms, Wyverns, Rock Drakes and all that fun stuff. Idk if I enjoy pain from ARK or not but I'm gonna get it from Fjordur that's for certain. *salutes my sanity and life* It was an honor, sir.

I remember spawning into the “easy south” and got spawned kill by a Sarcosuchus… It was surprising at least

My biggest n00b mistake was not knowing i could transfer to other maps, instead thinking i had to make a new character for every server

That PT on the falling mistake looked like one of my first PT tame on my first map (RIP glass)

Solid start, my son will need this.

great video these top 10 s are so informative and fun. I don't know if there is enough for 10 but maybe top 10 consumable effect eg blood pack bug repellent cactus broth?

I forgot the Tuso had an Alpha variant and saw one recently and tried to tranq it. Which is doubly stupid because a Tuso is a passive tame and can't be tranqed, even non-alpha.

I didn’t know all those seemingly useless items were boss tributes at first. I collected them because I considered them trophies. A mark for every kill. Turns out it was highly accidental foresight.

something from me that wasn't on the video: going for big and hard tame early game or completely unprepared, trying to tame an alpha, taming when creature is in the water deep enough to drown unconscious or to be killed by big fish, very bad and nonpractical base project, going for resources runs or just exploring with unnecessery items that takes weight, loosing best firearms and gear without even needing of taking them in 1st place

touching water when on top of a flyer. Doing caves unprepared. making 1spike (not knowing it´ll break). logging off when on top of a flyer (youll relog to find yourself killed). nice vid.

About the parachute tip, you also need to remember that you had it on your hotbar heheh.

one mistake I made was trying to take a griffin with my friend on a low level argy but it wasn’t really me because they hopped off the argy thinking it would follow them instead of attack the griffin and end up dying which it did R.I.P. argy

When you dismount a flyer, your tame will regen stamina even while flying, since you're no longer riding it. You can use the dismount and parachute method to stay airborne indefinitely (though you may need quite a few parachutes).

Lol gotta show this to my friends 😂

I remember watching a nooblets video on how to tame a parasaur and me and my friend were freaking tf out because it wouldnt tame while we were force feeding it
