Zed's Ark

Приєднався 7 бер 2024
I've spent a lot of time fighting the bosses of the Ark, having completed The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration and Extinction, all on Alpha difficulty. I have also spent hours scouring the Internet to make sure that the army I'm taking will be strong enough to win.
This channel aims to document those attempts, dino types, stats, and saddle quality and hopefully inform others of what will work.
I'm a fan of survival games generally, including No Man's Sky, Icarus, Conan: Exiles, and the Forest, to name a few.
I aim to keep the videos as short as possible for easier viewing.

Ark Survival Ascended: Taming the Phoenix
Переглядів 1,1 тис.5 місяців тому
Watch as I tame one of Ark's rarest creatures: The Phoenix! The taming process is simple, but time consuming. The most difficult part is finding one, made more difficult if you have real-life commitments. The trap is basic and works best with a Fire Wyvern to tame. I also give a quick run through of its key features, such as harvesting and smelting food and metal. 1:18 The Heatwave Ends 2:08 Th...
Stegosaurus versus Alpha Dragon - Ark: Survival Ascended
Переглядів 7225 місяців тому
Will this work? In this Duos fight, Woldy and I use nothing but two Stegosaurus and a pile of shotgun shells to take on the Dragon. I've never seen this tactic used before, although understand the benefits that Stegos offer here. I chickened out of fighting Alpha Dragon with just two Therizinos. Woldy convinced me to go in on a Stegosaurus instead. The Stegosaurus are mediocre, with 26k health ...

53.7, 10.4 - This is the entrance to the Caverns of Lost Faith where you can find the artifact of the brute.
Where is this
Co-ords are 53.7/10.4. The entrance to the west ocean cave.
Can this be improved with gigantoraptor buff?
I have no idea.. the gigantoraptor didn't appeal to me (or at least, the faff around sorting another mod when it was released!). Have you tried it since this message?
I did it with just theris and put like 35 cakes in each, most just used about 12/13 cakes
Very well done! Must have been a killer making all that cake!
@@ZedsArk luckily I was prepared for it, had bees in a terminal passively making honey, those other birds that is not micro raptors in a terminal passively producing sap and 6 areas with crops.
Sounds like a good setup. I leave cake-making to my brother!
I like your base
Thanks. Me too! Needed a lot of stone for it 😅
I've never been able to beat Dragon by myself even with really good Theris.....with great saddles and yuti buff
I think there's a lot of variability. I've used the same tactic before and been wiped out. Never got so unlucky as to have the dragon invisible, though.
Nice, must have had crazy durability on that shottie though!
Yeah, I got lucky at a pod (and may have even had the liopleurodon buff). That shotgun is long gone now... I looked at the price of repairing it and wasn't keen on farming that much polymer!
Nice video, have been looking for a proper solo, there are so many solo 'cheese' videos, so really good to see the fight done properly. I have slightly more confidence in my Theri's now, just need to grind for the Ascendent saddles :)
Thanks! 😁 I've seen some of those, too. Does using just two stegos and shotties count? That was easy but took a while. Nothing quite like having a big dino army, though!
@@ZedsArk Far from cheesing, I'd say more difficult if anything! I'm considering trying a Stego army solo... and thanks, I'd not thought of using them in a boss fight until I watched your Stego vs Dragon video... inspirational.
Yeah, it was good fun. It was meant to be an attempt at 2 theris versus the dragon, but we bailed at the last minute and for some reason, we took them instead. Worth getting them ready for forest titan, assuming it will still have a low drag weight when Extinction is released (my favourite of the maps).
@@mr2tubtribe on my server did it with turtles 😂carbonares
That sounds hilarious. Was it easy?
Been studying this fight from your video and absolutely crushed Alpha Dragon today, appreciate the upload and commentary 🙏
Congrats, well done! Any losses?
@@ZedsArk no loses 🙌 veggie cake consumption similar to your run as well 🤘
Even better. Glad to hear.
Very helpful I subbed
Thanks - happy to be useful 😀
What sett8ngs are you using that your rexes have 800% dmg and 20k health. My lvl 300 fully imprinted rex only has 500% dmg and 14k health........
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.
what how
How what?
how do u get to the loot of the otter?
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.
wtf bosses have super insane amount of hp.. too op… and my 2 evo gigas make the monkey look like a fucking joke.. this game is goddamn pathetic easy... wildcard need to make wayyyyy harder bosses with hp in the millions. and using a SHIT mastercraft saddle? hahahah my dinos got saddles with 300+ armor.. thats what your meant to have.
For some reason every time i do the boss fight the dragon targets only the yuty i dont get it. I keep failing beta because of this reason then my tames die once my yuti dies
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 understood it was to do with drag weight, but I think there is a range applied to this as I've had mixed results in some fights.
Is there a spot like this on The Center?
I haven't found one, but if I do, I'll let you know
Flak better than riot?
It's easier to maintain and I find more ascended flak than I do riot.
Cheaper to craft and repair. A set of max armor riot cost 12 858 poly to craft😅 I don’t have that much to waste
@@agoogleuser1570 aberration has unlimited organic now
Yeah, it makes a big difference!
Is this on official?
No, I run my own server. Single player settings, no boosts.
sorry bro, Can we do a boss fight in PVP official through the transmitter?
Yeah, it's a new feature on Ark SA.
Bro you could’ve easily made a waypoint of where the phx dropped then fly back to grab your parasaur and locate the exact spot 😂
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!
Therizinosaurus are omnivores i believe so it takes neutral damage to the breath
they can add an extra big boss for such big creatures to enter
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.
I have at least 30k health and at least 1100 melee therizinos but saddles 25 armor. I have 124 armor bp but it's very expensive I can't produce 19 therizinos for 19 therizinos, I'm playing alone, my question to you is whether these therizinos will defeat the beta dragon with 5 cakes in each of them? i m play on official pve server
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.
How'd u make ur text that displays the dino name and level so bold, mine is transparent and a pain in the a** to read
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.
It’s wired I’ve done all the boss fights on my server but for some reason doesn’t show up on my implant at all. But overall very good video I’ve used rexes with 100k health each and around 1,000% melee and they work great too
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!
Late reply, but there's a bug and the implant won't update until you die or kill yourself.
Thanks - that's useful to know. If it doesn't show I future, I try dying.
I absolutely love the Horror 🤣 coz I know if he's around, I'm gonna have an fun 30mi s of running away and being chased with that sound the whole time 🤣
stats of the rexes?
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.
Imagine if you could uncryo at the last second while launching a boss fight like before to get them in like gigas back in the day
Yup thats the reason why gigas and carchas aren't allowed in boss fights 😂
😅 good point!
Would of lost my cool when the carc fell in the lava....nice keeping cool and getting him out
Thanks 😊 If it looked like I kept my cool, that was probably an illusion - or the stun effect. I was panicking! 😅
Is this on official servers? Also i want to try to do this in my server but someone said to me that she will never land and that i need wyverns...
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.
did fight last night, landed 2 times and then looked like it was trying to land but never did
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.
Makes me wonder how a 760melee carcha would be. Since thats what I have on offcial rn. Too bad there isnt fun stuff like this on officials.
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...
Do you have to clear the path down of all dinos or can you just fly over them?
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.
i hope someone told u u dnt need to run n front of ur theri to boost them
😅
They should add the option to take a Giga or Carchar in but only for alpha and only 1 with no other creatures
It'd be easier than breeding an army...
Is it even worth the time and effort to breed rexes for bosses anymore?
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...
take the base for yourself with cheat GiveToMe
That would be even even bigger shock if they logged on! 🤣
Carchas are so OP - these weren't even max level wild tames were they? Nice tin can arena!
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!
Did I get that right? Someone built a base on your server and you use it as an "Arena"? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 NICE MOVE!
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!
Where to find high lvl Yuty's on SE?
Mostly to the west of the map.
This looks pretty lore accurate 😂. Awesome video dude definitely going to try this with my buddies.
Thanks! Good luck - would love to hear how it goes.
Howd it go
Love the videos, I’ve watched almost all of them. One thing I’m curious about is your graphic settings? This is on PC and the quality looks very impressive. Looks better than epic somehow. Maybe it’s just your recording quality, I just don’t know how you achieve this.
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!
I had pretty buff rexes 30k hp and 1300melee and bloody thing only landed once, move the rexes around and everything. that why i only take in lightning wyverns now, you can't rely on the boss landing. Died cause ran out of time.
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?
Nice 👍🏻
Thanks 😊
Bro can you do a video using rexes now pls
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.
Whats the hp and dmg on these theriz?
21k and 700%ish melee minimum - some have slightly higher as they've been levelled a bit more.
How's it nerfed? Now you got a 50/50 chance the dragon is glitched and freaking invisible.
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.
This may be a daft question, but do the Tek Transmitters now allow you access to the boss arena's? Thanks.
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 😊
bro iv been in the boss fight for an 1 and 30 minutes and the manticore did not land once
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.
I’m Panicin for your carchaaaaa maaan!!!
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. 🫨🤔🤫
