Congrats, well done! Any losses?

@@ZedsArk no loses 🙌 veggie cake consumption similar to your run as well 🤘

Even better. Glad to hear.

Thanks - happy to be useful 😀

Singleplayer. No other changes thay affect melee and damage. Is that the same as you? What are your rexs base stats? My breeding line has what I consider to be very good base stats.

Do you mean after the fight is over?

@@ZedsArk yes

I'd put all my kit in the otter and find it after ascending - usually it will appear by the tek cave door. However, the last time I went in, I didn't lose anything in my inventory, so I think they've fixes this problem.

For a while, I thought dragon targets the dino with the highest drag weight, as I experienced something similar. But on this recent video that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyone else had this?

Its because the yuty has a "higher priority" of aggro from the boss than the theris. I assume it is because the theris are herbiviors.

I haven't found one, but if I do, I'll let you know

It's easier to maintain and I find more ascended flak than I do riot.

No, I run my own server. Single player settings, no boosts.

Yeah, it's a new feature on Ark SA.

Yeah, to be honest, I thought my Tek Suit had similar functionality, but didn't, so assumed a parasaur wouldn't work either. In the end, I used my Tek Binoculars to tag it, and that marked where it was. Love those Tek Binoculars!

@@ZedsArk the wife and I caught 4 phoenixes within a week or so, waiting between 10-12hrs for the second heatwave is ridiculous. Over kill on the weather event nerf

That is dedication!

Brilliant idea! What, though?

It's called the titans smh

​​@@williamrowland9331 unfortunately it's extinction exclusive thing and it's not even out yet for ASA :) So we currently kinda don't have a reason to breed Gigas or Carchas.

How happy are you with the risk? I don't know if it's possible. I suspect it would be, but haven't tried without saddles in mine. I reckon you'd need more cakes though. I can't remember how many they used in this video... was it 10 each roughly (some using more, some using less). With more health, yours could last longer, especially with more cake.

I haven't made any conscious changes to this, so cannot say why or how. I play on PC and have the settings on epic. That's about as much as I do graphically.

That is weird. Normally, it seems to take a few days for it to register and appear on my implant. Sometimes it doesn't show up at all, but that's rare and we usually redo them as a tribe. Those are good rexes! Mine aren't that good, but I'm still tempted to try them in the dragon fight. Maybe after I've tried my megalosaurus.

@@ZedsArk I used to play on official but started my own unofficial and it’s been so much better but the grind to get them like that on official was crazy but worth it

I've only ever played on my own server - can't remember why I chose this given how long it took to set up!

20k health (I stop there when levelling and the rest goes into melee). So, melee is around 800 to 1000%, depending on the breeding line. The newer line is better.

😅 good point!

Thanks 😊 If it looked like I kept my cool, that was probably an illusion - or the stun effect. I was panicking! 😅

This is my own server. She does have some issues with landing and some times it will take longer than others. But I've never had her not land for the entire fight.

Yeah, a lot if people are saying the same: it looks like it's going to land and doesn't. I've got two vids of this fight - the other is with primitive saddles only - and both fights are different in how long manticore flies up for.

Very nice! Yeah, mine can't compete with that. You might even be in with a chance to kill dragon. Still trying to work out how I can test this...

@@ZedsArk I think the dragons flame breath would kill it before the carcha could get stacks from the dimorphs and pteras. If you fed the carcha with some Wyven milk to prevent fire damage perhaps.

I suspect you're right... but if you could dodge a few (and the carcha can be speedy), it might be enough for the regeneration to heal enough. When landed, the dragon does the flame breath every 20 seconds, so I'd you're on the ball, I think it might be avoidable. I probably don't have the reflexes, but a better player might...

It is possible to fly over using an archaeopteryx. In one of my other videos I used somehow managed to use a jetpack, but typically that shouldn't work (no idea how to replicate the Glitch...). Not sure if a megalania works, but a thylacoleo should.

😅

It'd be easier than breeding an army...

I'm not sure I could be bothered now that you cannot reroll imprint needs with a cryopod. 😅

​@@ZedsArk graptor lets you do it just hop on press c

That definitely sounds preferable...

That would be even even bigger shock if they logged on! 🤣

Yeah, base melee is 28, base health is similar but irrelevant. It's not beyond the realm of possibility to find a better one and a better saddle. I wonder if it can take on dragon. If its possible to dodge a fire-breath or two, combined with the fast regeneration... I'm curious to know.

@@ZedsArk look forward to the video!

It's a wonderful design inside. I'd have moved in, but as I'm not in the tribe, I can't change the decor. Or use the utilities.

@@ZedsArk well - seems to me that you "utilized" it sufficiently for your needs!😉🤣🤣🤣

😅🤣

The monkey threw a rock inside the base all of their tames probably dead now 😂

That might require some serious apologising!

Mostly to the west of the map.

Thanks! Good luck - would love to hear how it goes.

Thanks 😊 My graphic settings are just slightly under maximum due to some instability. I understand I can fix this with some CPU tweaks, but need to look into this a bit more... It's might also be down to recording settings. I use OBS to record and Filmora Wondershare to edit. I have these on maximum output resolution and quality settings each time. It means it takes up a lot of space on my drives, and a lot of time to compile and upload. Glad it's worth it!

That is a brutal way to lose a fight and lose those very good rexes! How many wyverns do you take and with what stats?

Thanks 😊

That's an expensive gamble! Maybe when I'm less attached to them... 😜

@@ZedsArk people on Facebook say they've done it and worked with rexes 50k hp 1000m plus and 124 saddle 19 and yuty, but they dont have recordings sadly

That amount of health and melee takes some serious breeding. Mine are 20k and 1000% melee with only a couple of mutations, but with base stats of 50ish in - which I think makes them pretty decent unmutated. I used to do it with rexes in ASE, but to be honest, the two attempts I've recorded (theris and stegos) are so much easier. I'd probably just opt for stegosaurus if you've got the energy to craft the shells required - and have a decent shotty.

21k and 700%ish melee minimum - some have slightly higher as they've been levelled a bit more.

It felt far easier than any other attempt I've made. Is that Glitch still there? I've never had it with the normal dragon boss, but I have had it happen in Tek Cave once, which I didn't know was possible.

@ZedsArk yeah. Half the time we run the dragon it's invisible.

That sucks. There was a tribe on my server that had that happen a lot. Guess they got all my bad luck as well.

Yes they do - very happy with this change from ASE to ASA.

@@ZedsArk Same here. Thanks for the response. I really like your video style, Very straight to the point and no nonsense. 👍

Thanks - I appreciate the feedback 😊

Yeah, it's really variable. I think in both the manticore videos I've posted, there's been a big difference in time spent airborne.

That was carcha was called Plan A, one of a set of twins, so I've got a Plan B 😀 But yeah, I was panicking for that and myself!

Hopefully I never have to resort to Plan B...

@@ZedsArk 😂😂 omg you got plan A B 😂😂 i would be sad loosing any of carchas 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Stopped in Banff, Canada, last week and found that they sell Carcha teeth in their fossil shop. 🫨🤔🤫

Next up - spider and dragon. I suspect spider will kill a few megatherium (but I've found a better breeder, so no great problem there). I think dragon might annihilate the theris...

=100 ticks of damage until death.

Unless, of course, it cannot get out, in which case, it'll die sooner or later. 😅

You will be waiting about 20 mins

Walk them through. I believe the Carcha is ever so slightly smaller than a giga, so they can walk through but a giga can't.

The bond between a rider and his steed is a two-way loyalty.

Thanks, Duke!
