THE BEST! The first and only guy with: - Good quality voice recording - A calm and interesting manner - A clear but not cringe or patronising tone - Accessible and upbeat in a genuine manner. So happy to find this channel. No stupid TECHNO intros, no cringe KZfaq catchphrases. Well scripted and rehearsed, not just awkwardly falling over conversation during a let's play. I found my niche and I'll tell others. Keep it up!

I just tamed a tech Parasaur. I know it ain’t that rare but it still looks lit

This is perfect, I just found this channel and just started a new ragnarock game.

actually the earliest been to a video, always wanted a video like this on rag. like where the easiest places to get stuff and such. TY!!!

Good timing! Just getting into Ragnarok. Looking forward to your tips as always. Note: I chose "SW Seaside", very near your suggestion as my main-base, was very happy to see it as one of your favorite locations. I just chose because it looked good and was far from everyone else on my (PVE) server. I didn't know it had such good access to resources.

I'm brand new to ARK and I'm so happy I found your channel. You've helped me feel less overwhelmed with the game overall and it's been a fun experience! Thank you for your awesome videos!

Ragnarok has to be one of my favorite maps of all time rivaling Crystal Isles, But I didn't know much about the map layout and resource locations before this video. This really helped!

Quick tip for those late game fanatics. There a secret underwater cave north left of Viking bay. It’s got a part with oxygen and a huge area and the only entrance is water. Recommend it.

No way... Ive been waiting for this thanks so much pterafier for ur amazing content you've helped me and probably loads me people through our ark journey and i just want to say you make my day so i hope you have a great day.

I found this channel yesterday and I've already watched every ark video on the channel, I've even gone back to it after not playing ark for a while

A base location for ragnarok I like is the broken castle near Viking bay, if you can clear it out and prevent the spider spawns then its nearby location to dams and its chocky bridge make it a personal favorite of mine and if you run out of space you can build walls between the cliffs and build on those cliffs I too love ragnarok Edit: should probably clarify, I was talking about large tribes fo this, or later in the game as one pump shotgun with 100 shells wouldn't do the trick

i'd love if you'd continue this series :) I watched nearly every video of yours and sadly there are some very interesting parts missing. continue ptera, you are amazing

Been playing Core for ages, loving it, so happy u got a sponser

Thank you so much for this! I returned to the game after a looong time and was very very lost in Ragnarok. This is gonna be very helpful in my travels across the map with some friends!

My go-to for Crystal is a bit out of the way in the far desert. Just go straight east from the big desert river ruins; there's some pocketed ground and two big dips of crystal. For cementing paste and polymer, I just bring a Theri to the lava lands to harvest all the bugs. For Obsidian there's a little cave slightly southwest of the volcano with tons of obsidian in it.

Ah yes, Murdersnow, where the coolest looking wyverns live...

Great video man! Super informative!

He did it I two weeks ago I recommended to do this OMG thank you so much! :D

i just started last week and making a lot of progression bc of you man love these

NO WAY! I just started playing Ragnarok a few days ago for the first time and this will help a lot!

On my Ark singleplayer I built my base in the highlands cove that is near the lighthouse. In my opinion, it's the best PvE and singleplayer base location, mainly because it gives you quick access to a wyvern trench and a place RICH with metal nodes, as well as the wild rockcarrots and savroot that grow there.

This map is awesome, definitely my favorite. I really like this base spot down at the bottom of the map, very near pawprint island, in fact it's just east of there, this small island right off the coast at the very bottom of the map, just before you enter the desert area. It's got everything, it's surrounded by cliffs on all sides (the only dinos I'm not sure about it blocking off are gigas) and the only way on the island without a flyer is by a repaired bridge with stairs leading up. It's right next to silica pearls and metal, and there's plenty of good dinos around to tame, it's even got an oil vein and a cave filled with crystal right underneath. The only thing bad about it is all the goddamn megalania.

This video was very helpful and cool! Keep up the good work!

For crystal there is a small cave, just next to the big bridge at the big river/clff thingy. There are at least 12 crystal ores, just right next too the plateau base spot. And for metal and obsidian there is a cave down that same river on the right, just as you enter the beach/swamp part. It is hidden behind some big rocks, but you can break those with a pickaxe. On the plateau, down the spiral, there are a lot of obsidian, sand, flint and metal veins. At the top of the plateau there are 3 big veins of metal that you can build around so you always have metal INSIDE your base. For a water base: at the right hadn corner of the map, at the black wyvern pillars and then a bit to the north, tehre is a big cave with stalactites that you can build on with tree platforms. It is connected to the sea. And in that part of the sea most of the big sea creatures live. Edit: omg I never got a heart before!

Very good video, not too long and not too short. You get all the informations you will ever need for playing on Ragnarok. My man, th e south western island are the best building location! I built my base on my second playthrough on Ragnarok just on there. While you built your base in the far right lower corner, I built it in the far left upper corner Island. Just loved the view into the wide sea so much that, built everything into the sea. So much metal around there but the thylas and boars are just brutal if you start out there. Def not an easy starting location. If you fly east from this location, 2 islands, you will get to the black rock deserts, there you can find griffins on the mountain ridges going inland. Just before this, if you go up north following the broken in earth tenches, you will get to a big inland see with a cavern that has alot of crystal. A great location to get them easily without the worry of fighting off wyvern. Generally, they added the best resource locations with the desert upgrade.

Yes! A new pterafier video!

Finally, a good ragnarok base video. Ragnarok is no doubt the hardest map for bases, so this helps alot.

I looked for a video like this one but for valgero. I hoped that it was a series but i cannot find one from you. It would be amazing to see guides for every map with points similar to this one

Thank you so much, you have literally helped me so much in ark

Thx for keeping up your good videos i am 100% sure your channel is underrated

The Ice dungeon can be exploited in Xbox 1(haven't tried others) as you go in, take all the goodies and drops, leave, and then go back inside to find out all the loot has respawned

You're doing amazing things by helping others with Ark. I love watching your guides, and learning new things.

thank you ptera, its been a while, yes ragnarok is my fave too.

Love the new series! Can you do Genesis or Crystal Isles next?

Love the narration man

we can always count on you ptera!

Even know I just found your channel like 5 days ago I love it already thanks for being a good youtuber

A really good crystal spot on rag is behind the waterfall in the desert.

Just started and this video is so helpful in getting me started so far

Good video as always

Holy shit my boy hit 25k, huge congrats man can't wait to see you hit 100k!

Gonna recommend this channel to my friend who's getting a new computer to play ark

I love your vids, I just got into ARK recently and you have helped me in words I cant describe and Ive been looking so long for someone to watch before I found you, thank you so much dude! You're awesome!

Very cool ptera hope u get 1 million soon dude

I really like your content and voice recording. I watch ur videos like its my fav series. Just for entertainment sometimes, but I have learned a lot from ur vids and make sure I remember when I play ark.

There is a super secret spot on ragnarok that is LOADED with crystal. The cords are 39 45. It’s a tall spire with a little pond on top and inside the pond are tons of crystal

This guy is one of the best KZfaqrs and has the best tutorial guides

Thank you so much ❤️ I just joined a new rag sever and I’m close to the Alpha

Got my own Hiden cave full of rich metal and big obsidian deposits on rag. Not many people know about it. And I have the cave base located at 26.3 26.9. did away with the winding ramp inside by completely flooring it out and making 2 lvls. My workshop, fridges, incubator, vaults and all that on lower floor leaving the entire width of the cave upstairs for the tames. And I put in stairs so you can still ride Rex's around and go in and out of the lower entrance. If you build it right, there's actually a lot of floor space in there.

I started playing ark the other day and I learned a lot on this video also I really like how you didn't ask to like and subscribe left and right like most people on this platform

Great video man I wish I could be good at pvp hard to start with all these super high level players but your videos help me out so much keep it up 👍🏻

I love the Ragnarok map. I have stuck with Northeast Highlands and the Northwest in the jungles. All the north on the map. The highlands had obsidian, crystal, and metal in a cave and mini cave.

Very well coordinate guide. Highly useful, helped me so much

Nice idea for a series

Great video keep it up😀

Another great video

This was very helpful. Thanks👍

Best Ark vid out rn

God dude, this really helps. Especially with the base locations

Don't you just love finding underrated youtubers

Best ark video I’ve seen

Thank you. If you are still doing these videos, could you please make one of the Ragnarok castle walkthrough? I appreciate it,thanks again

you are the best ark youtuber!

Finally thats the video i wanted for a long cause ragnarok is my favourite map

Very helpful, thx

Excellent content

Keep up the good work

"in Celsius for all you normal people"................ Americans immediately dislike the video

Very good video:)

Wow I can’t believe you didn’t mention the crystal spot in the desert. It’s a cave that had easily 5-10k crystal in there. I was the first person to find it on my server back in the day and had a great set up in there.

Very helpful have gotten an edge over friends because of this. Even helpful with having 5 years of experience in ark

I was planning on playing ragnorok Thanks for the tips

If you *really* want tons of crystal, the artifact cave by viking bay has tons. The only problem is that it's up high so bring an argy, griffin, or wyvern.

What a coincidence, I just got raided for the first time on this map and was looking for a vid like this 😂

dunno about ya'll but i find the glacier hall best place to farm crystals has a few dire bears in the way plus its cold as heck but you dont have to go all the way inside to gather a decent amount of crystal and oil.

YESS THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED im really new to ark and slowly becoming a pro i watch all your videos and it helps alot so i had a choice between island and ragnorok of course i pick ragnorok and i wish i picked island but cant change now i made so much progress so im glad i got a notification for this your one of the best ark youtubers 🙏🏽

Your channel is just *chefs kiss

Near Highland spawn N if you go towards the mountain and look around the entrance of the wyverns nest you can find a ton of crystal and obsidian. I lost an argy and an anky to it once because I got a bit too greedy though.

TYSM, I was looking everywhere for an anky and I had tryed going on dododex and everything but couldn't find any no matter how hard I tryed. However you saved me with Obsidian island. You have earned a sub and a like 👍 Ps it was lvl 150

Can you do one for scorcher earth my friend and I aren’t doing to well in scorched earth

A great crystal spot is in the caves behind the water falls between the beaver dams and valcano.

Inside the volcano at higlands N is a really cool cave to build a easy defendeble base but its hot in there and you also need to watch out for lava

Living close to the volcano is truly the best: cementing paste, obsidian, metal, crystal name the material you have it, ocean is in front of you, plus mantises used for organic polymer and the griffin spawn is close and the snow biome is close. Definitely build there. Location is around LAT: 16 LON: 51. Just don't build on volcanic soil heatstroke can be a problem. Volcanic cave for wyvern eggs is close and highlands for giga tame are also kinda close.

Got a new play coming up so I will be using this then. 😁

horses smoke carrots. btw thumbs up for that edit at 06:52, made me gigle hard

I'm so late! Oh my gosh, this was great

a good starter location for crystal (very small amount but there are ZERO THREATS) is the scotland cave in the highands at 19.8° Lat, 78.2° Lon

Thanks 👍🏼

I've been watching ur channel for awhile I love ark I'm really good I've watched it tip videos and there really good

I'm getting ark for christmas can't wait!

love your guides, I'm binging your channel lol. can you do one like this about the OG island and one about scorched earth please?

Been searching for all underwater caves on ragnarok for hours. And the closest I get is everyone talking about the glowing mushroom cave. If you could do a video on all the caves on ragnarok that would help so much. Me and my wife are looking to build an underwater base and can't find any other locations.

Haven't been to that crystal spot, so not sure how much there is exactly, but I go behind a waterfall up the stream in the desert, there's a lot there.

Thank you

Dear Pterafier, thank you for listening to me about the map guide. I really appreciate it.(I'm the guy who suggested the map guide)

My first base after my beach hut was in the Pirate Cave (I'm kinda new to ARK, I've only played one playthrough ARK in modded singleplayer, and I'm still playing that one)

you have helped me a lot in ark

nice vid XD

Amazing

Griffins are relatively easy games if you have a Wyvern to fly with just make sure to not miss shots and have some raw prime or exceptional kibble and you good
