like the way u talk without abusive language and constantly spamming F word after every 3 or 4 words, good job and awesome videos

***FOR OFFICIAL SERVER PLAYERS** for everyone that wanna try this solo on official, it is actually possible, i just did it, alpha tek cave solo on an official pve server(pc), however there are a lot of things to keep in mind, in the video he was using SINGLE PLAYER SETTINGS, which reduces the bosses hp and resistance by A LOT, thats why he finished the fight using only around 400 ammo with a 400% pump shotgun.. on official you will need at least 1500 ammo(i brought 1840, missed a lot of shots cause of lag.. and when i killed it i had 242 ammo left) with a max damage capped shotty which is 298% damage, also the shotgun must have at least 2k durability, mine was 2.5k and had 850 at the end of the fight. About the drone atacks, they actually deal less than 1 damage per hit but ITS NOT ZERO, its like 0.5 thats why the damage text was showing zero, so you will lose hp after some hits and they are super annoying cause they break armor dura and make it harder to aim on overseer so you will def want CACTUS BROTH during the whole fight so they ignore you. During the fight you will see the 60 min timer going down except when it lags or server saves every 15 mins.. i used the whole 60 min and more actually, the timer will go negative 1 min and will disappear, but the fight continues anyway, its not like normal bosses that u insta lose after timer runs out. My whole fight was like 70 min long, i brough 50 ele for the tek chest but used only 11, so 20 is more than enough for 90 min constant use.(you will keep all things on inventory except the element if you actually win the fight, like a normal transfer). Also watch out for monkey rocks, its a HIT KILL if you get hit so make sure to fly at max height close to ceiling when fighting the monkey forms.

Good video, one recommendation is take a otter with you next time, it keeps you warm and gives you a place to put your gear once you kill the boss. He'll be back at the entrance to the tek cave once it's over.

Thanks for the video Teach My tribemate and I went in and the strat worked without a hitch. We flew in on a cloaked Rock Drake and took otters for the temp but apart from that we followed the strat and we are now Alpha ascendant. Keep the videos coming.

You are the best KZfaqr! I stoped playing Ark some time ago, now I am playing again because I saw one of your videos

Awesome thank you, I have had issues beating this on solo but this method makes it easy

You're videos are extremely helpful and very well made. You're very articulate and descriptive. Thanks for making them.

Just did it on unofficial server for Beta, shotgun were the best, but we used grappling hooks when the spider, monkey and dragon forms were out to save some element. Thanks for the vid, it became quite frustrating having your tames follow and freefall past you into the lava. We killed the keeper when the time ran out.

My tribe and I took you through ascension a while back on MTS and it’s sick to see that you remembered everything and made a video on how to do it solo! Gj man😁

Use right shift to hover lock. Makes it a bit easier to dodge the laser stun when you don’t have to hold down that left shift.

July 24, 2021 - This method still works, did it on Alpha difficulty on single player. used about 16 element to stay in the air. took around 900 shotgun shells with a 480 pump. Remember that if you press and release the right shift it will keep in in the air, only having to use spacebar every so often. Your left pinky will thank you. Used tek boots and chest, rest was fur from drops. Took me about 45 - 50 minutes-ish, I did sight see as this was my first time.

Good video. Just remember that when using battle tartare your med brews are not taking effect until tartare timer goes off.

I m a lonewolf on official server, thank you for this video.

So I'm not sure if it's changed since I did this, but me and my friend did this on unofficial but we had unassembled meks in our inventories, and you're able to deploy the meks in the overseer arena apparently, and if you use the shield module to debuff the overseer, it can make things way easy. Like I said idk if this still works, but we pulled it off and it made it so easy.

Just watched for the epic fight. Thank you I had fun!

Wish I'd read all of the comments first. I tried this several times on single player to test, and it was soo easy. Even with a

Important tip: If you get hit by the overseer's stun ray you can use med brews even while in the air, this is the same for any hard stun in the game, aka shadowmane or cnidaria/jellyfish, specially usefull if you are loosing hp from cold

As always guys and gals make sure you mention and comments that you might have!!!

Just as I was approaching the point where you teleport to the arena in the cold region, 4 allos showed up to attack me. Just putting it out there that the freezing area isn't always safe and everyone should stay aware even in that part.

Love the video!! Watching it feels like i have done it already

Bit late, but amazing guide. Clear and very helpful! Thanks!

Ark is probably the only game I’ve ever played where the developers understand that shotguns remain deadly at mid range. As opposed to most shooters where u have to be smelling the breath of your target to kill it.

i love arks lore so much!

The only overseer tutorial that helped me ❤❤

Im actually gonna try this one looks quite simple thanks for this

thanks for making this seem super easy. im gonna try it sometime

9:09 "it is really loud so i apologize for that" I dont mind, this music for this fight is amazing

When I tested this the flying drones can sometimes when killed spiral in your direction and drag you to the floor and blow up killing you in the process

the boss fihght music is always such a bop

Used this last night for the first time in our group. Four of us made the assertion for the first time, no deaths as a group. Thank you!

Sad to admit it, as your videos are almost always on point, but me and a bro tried this method (10/6/22) and it didn't pan out. Although it was pretty close. We were using 220% shotties (was hoping 2 of us with those would make up for the 440% in the vid) and just wasn't outputting enough damage. I think somewhere in the vid teach mentions the shotty doing some kind of bonus damage, I get the feeling this mightve changed as our slugs were doing about 25-35 damage a piece, compared to those three digit numbers teach was dropping. Thanks however for the vid, its given us a lot of food for thought. We'll get this done in the next couple of days using some of the ideas in this vid for sure.

idk if u knew but if u have a tech suit when u get to the safe zone at the end theres liquid element pool u can refill ur tech stuff by swimming in it but without a tech suit it will kill you

Nice vid dude puts my gamma fail to shame XD!

awesome video! i am just gonna cheat myself a glide suit, only cheat i am gonna do. never thought the alpha one was so easy, no time limit is nice. i wanted to only ascend the gamme one but you concerned me to just do alpha. i skipped the ascension because i want to see the ascension myself. Cant wait to hop over to scorched earth to continue the story. hopefully i dont die when flying through the cave

Dunno why i only just seen this but can you once ya get to 4min in the tranporter ive nevee done ascending yet. Can you thro cryos out in there? If wanna yake dinos can but skip walk down there with them or not?

Perhaps a stupid question but do you beat this, then load back into the same map, then you can move your stuff over to a new game mode e.g. Scorched earth via obelisks? I don't know how any of that works. Needing to grind all the way up the tech tree etc would be a nightmare if you had to do that for every map.

the moment your fps dips, your pretty much fucked when you in the glider suit

How would you go through part 1 with only island engrams then? Asking for ASA specifically (in case theres a better start there)

can I do it on small tribes solo with 1k ammo 300medbrew and crafted tek suit ?

i wish i saw that video a few days ago, i lost a lot of rexes and me and a lot of friends lost our stuff but its okay we are recovering everything and now im raising good rexes

Do you think that a Megalenia is a good idea in the cave because of its climbing ability?

Does this method still work April 2022?

Sorry for what may be a newbie question , but What do you do after you complete the boss fight? Like how do you spawn your same character back onto the same map? When I go to do it somehow I’m creating a new character. I’m able to use my beds and spawn locations, but when I spawn in I’m actually a new character unable to use the stuff my other (ascended) character has built? I’ve went back with old save files and have done the fight twice with my original character, but I keep loading in as a new character. What am I doing wrong? How do I continue with the same character?

Informative video, honestly thought it'd be harder than this, seen people struggle more on the broodmother.

Idk if you’ll get this but can you use that new dino from lost island in here if u don’t have a tek suit

Just thought I'd mention stuff can follow you through that bubble. Maybe not everything, but I almost died to some allo's in there and another guy with me did die. Make sure to stay high and try not to agro anything.

I bet if you brought the new shoulder cannon in with you you could focus on drones while you focus on boss

Can anyone help me find how to use that glider suit on console? Im playing on Xbox One X, and when he says to hold shift, I think that's equivalent to clicking the left joystick. But I can't seem to make this work at all. I always wind up swan diving after a few seconds of glide time no matter what I try. I've searched for articles and videos, but no one seems to have any advice for this on consoles that I can find. Edit: never mind, I figured it out. I just wasn't starting from high enough elevation.

lol I exact searched this title on yt yesterday and now it just pops up lol we already did it today our own way on official tho

You can collect the Explorer Note before the BF. And why dont you use your Tek Leggings? Its so fast

This way it's so easy! I LOVE IT!!

I watched the whole vid even though I knew how early on

Can you use awesome Teleporter in boss fights?

Does the regular shotgun really have more aoe Then the pump shotgun

would a sino work instead of the wing suit?

Can i do this using a sinomacrops instead of tek chest?

with a 220% pump action, about how many shells would i need?

Yessss teach me! 😊

Wonder if you could do this with a high stam sinomacrop in place of the tek suit.

Does this work on official server? like with more people all with tek suit and shotgun?

So could 3 people with tek suits, otters, and pumps work?

A tek canteen with hot water usually works for me bro✌

Sweet, thanks Teach! As a single player this is invaluable!

* edit... in the end it shows you the broken ark (red) which would be Abberration from where you will then go to Extinction. Or not?

IT WORKED!! BEST METHOD!!

"hehe I said doo-doo" lol

when i do it i use a rock drake because its very eay with it and you can just let all the enemy dinos walk into lava

Any way I can do this on official , I’m solo And I’m not gonna invest to try to get tek grams Cause I’m lvl 101 and reaching my max trying to raise it simply for bob pvp

Could you make some guide for the alpha king titan?

Can you use tek rifle in that boss?

What about Tapejara and tek saddle for this boss fight?

Fantastic!

Did you play on official server 1 back in the day?

You think it's the same on console hardcore?

“Risk it to get the biscuit!” That’s awesome !! Lol how much element is consumed for this method? Looks easier that what I did the last time and way less prep time and resources!

Do parachutes work in the tek cave?

Wouldn't an high quality/damage Tek Rifle be better for this? You can get those from Red OSDs on Extinction though.

This work on official smalltribes?

just a heads up, and ascendant shotgun is a must for this. My mastercraft one with 1600 shots was nowhere near enough. Even with a rex army still ended up using over two thousand shots

Just wondering, is this on single player or a dedicated? I play solo on an unofficial server and I'm thinking of trying this when I find a good strat to solo Titans or red drops.

only ogs remember the old volcano

I’m late to this but to avoid the cold wear an otter with decent melee damage it will keep you warm

How did u get that shotgun

Can you use an otter to make you not cold?

Nice !! But your forget cactus broth in the second half !!! Because the drones shootin you

Bro good one...

You can use pheromone dart to kill everything

What if you didn't download a survivor and don't have a glide suit?

how do you get the 500% armor tek armor

Good video

Take a ferret or wyvern milk to counter the cold

what was the dmg% on ur shotgun

What damage is your shotgun

Thanks for this vid, i was kinda worried if i can do it, cause i play solo on pve server, always thinking: do i have good enough dinos, saddles, guns, should i breed more to aim for even higher damage mutations bla bla bla... You saved me A LOT of time with this. Got a like and sub from me. How much damage % your pump action shotgun had ?

Anyone doing this ps4 small tribes lmk I'm waiting on Genesis

Yo Teach, just done the cave this way so easy. Just wondering have you got an easy strat for rockwell on Ab?

4:09 can i use cryopod in this area?

I thought you could not use tek gear unless you beat this boss….and if not how am i to get tek without doing the alpha fight being able to use

i could be wrong but looks like the floating combat text is saying "0" when you get hit and didnt see you lose any health. Must have had something enabled to avoid taking dmg

How do u get the wings
