This will be a good one to watch! I do like the bary in place of the thyla! A basi for under water is a must. Yutys can be just as good as rexes, if not better! I will have to think about the other two. Definitely a meso for the shoulder!
I got all excited for a moment, as I thought you might have been picking up a suggestion I put down a year or so ago. Five resource gathering dinos (breeding was allowed, so 10 tames in total), using the upgrade station mod to make armour, tools and weapons to take out the bosses by yourself. It was doable on the The island in ASE, might give it a try on ASA after upgrading the PC tomorrow. :D Good luck with your challenge.
If Phoo allows taming for traits but not to keep, 1 Deinosuchus can solo all the island bosses. Giga bite and run triggering broken bones and boss melts.
Haha, I said this in stream (yuti replaced with thyla or argie) like a week ago! I LOVE the god-croc, but they're hella o.p. Yuti isn't needed with Deinos!
Hey Phlinger!! Amazing, you did not sound particularly enthusiastic about the idea when stream discussion was going on, happy that you decided to do it! Good luck to you!! Ps.: Alphas do take good blueprints and preparation , but I can confirm that soling alpha dragon on a deer with no other pets is possible:)
You don't think a single water tame should be a freebie like a Phoo? Removes a dino from boss fights and can't do the island without a durable water mount.
Good morning Phlinger and Phamily! I hope you have a great weekend! Theri, Dienosuchus, Allo, Rex, Bary for caving. Shoulder pet would have to be Mesopithicus.
A very interesting and challenging series, great idea - then regarding the shoulder pets, a Phoo is always a valuable asset but a dimorphodon on your shoulder can double your melee damage, I’m a bit on the dimo team 😬 then with this challenge, I can see your thoughts about something that will slow down your opponent, either to flee or tame - looking forward to see your adventures Phlinger 🤗
Man this gunna be a tough one! Love this idea for you though! I think I would have to take a Thyla because it’s good for mobility/ taming/ caving but otherwise I have no idea what I’d do
I just tamed my first charcharodontosaurus and am really impressed with it. If I could only tame 5 dinos, a charchar would definitely be one of them. My others would probably be yuti, deinosuchus, and bary, with a second of one of the four for a mate boost.
My 5 if I could only have 5, Bary for caving and general daliy driver, Rex and Yuti for possiable boss fights, Argi for getting around and Bassie for underwater caves
Oh boy, without honey for sweet vegi cakes, I think unbred/imprinted herbivores might be completely off the table regarding boss fights. A single megatherium against the gamma broodmother, ouch! If you don't want to cheese the boss arenas with procoptodons from scorched earth, a shotgun will also not work well and you need beat bosses for tek armor. Getting through the tek cave without an otter and only 5 dinos will also be fun to watch. Great challenge...
I proposed this challenge! Acouple of months back I asked, if you played by Pokémon rules, with 6 team members and a spare HM Mule, what would you pick? I just wanted to know what a veteran like yourself would choose put of the hundreds of creatures added what would you choose. But this is even better, your basically playing a NUZLOCKE Challenge!
This should be very interesting and fun. Bary for sure (caves and daily driver) Yuti and Rex. That only leaves two. I understand your reasoning for a Phoo. But in my mind I'm thinking about the underwater caves. Do you go for speed or tank? The trouble is, that's a dino with just the one function (as is the Phoo.) I think the Phoo is off the table. Theri and Mosa. Good luck with the choices you decide on. I would not use the zero slot for my bola, Pego bait.
Here is my 5 tames list (but I can breed/mutate them): - Therizinosaur - Basilosaurus - Baryonyx - Doedicurus - Ankylosaurus Shoulder Pet - Otter Honestly I just need to mutate Therizinosaurs (this dino is a jack of all trades) for the boss fights, and use good level Baryonyx for caves on the Island, and Basilosaurus underwater caves. For my gathering resource tames we have Doedicurus, Ankylosaurus, and Therizinosaurus. Sure I would have to spend a lot of time on breeding, and gathering resource without flyers, but it's 100% possible to beat The Island map with those tames. Ps. Otter is also really good hidden perks for doing the multiple boss runs.
Good morning Phlinger. I would agree on a Bary for the caving and ground. I would also probably get a Yuti and a Rex if not a Theri or Ceratosauras for boss fights. I would agree on a shoulder phoo I've watched it save you more than once lol, and would more than likely get a Basi as well since jellyfish are a problem. Me personally would do 10 tames instead of 5 but that's me. May the odds be ever in your favor. Coffee Cheers!
for this map id pick, main mount would be an Argie, and a Bary for caves and water stuff. id keep an otter for weather(though i feel like a shoulder pet should be a free tame slot, not part of the 5) a Yuti and an Alo for the boss
I would say definitely a deinosuchus it has great melee for boss battle can also be used to go to underwater cave definitely a bary for land caves an otter as shoulder pet a yuti wont hurt either. Definitely its gonna be interesting to see how this plays out and its exciting to see what you can come up with. Especially with no breeding thats a tough one
Survival: 1 Rex (overall killa), 1 megatherium (bug control, it can clear the fire cave for chitin, might need a cryopod), 1 Anky (quicker metal, I've used one to collect oil around the island, boost weight, oxygen and damage. They are safe tames to explore with and can travel across water decently. 1 Basilo and 1 bary (caves and underwater carnage) Boss: Kill the Basilo and replace with Rex or Megatherium
Hmm, a yuty, a theri, an anky, a barry then whatever other tames you want to tame for boss fights. Not sure if an anky is really a good choice but I just cannot stand the game without my dino harvesters for everything 😂. Edit: forgot you'll almost certainly need something like a basilosaurus for the water caves. Honestly it might be a bit scummy but I would probably wait for one dino to die and replace it with a basilosaurus for long enough to do the water caves at least. Unless you ended up just bum rushing the caves to try and get the artifact and get out regardless of what dies in the process. Edit2: Dang no replacements either
How I would attempt this run... I probably wouldn't, haha. But my shoulder and 5 would be... Otter- for temp control especially for snow biome and caves Baryonyx- cave dino, reg and underwater, can jump so lava cave plus Therazinosaurus- main dino for dragon fight, ok wood,thatch, fiber, berry harvester, possible main mount (not fast but stamina for days) Yuti- boss cheerleader Rex- boss damage dealer Argentavous- Alt mount, pack mule for harvesting
I'd tame an otter as shoulder pet, because of the protection against weather (I'm a newbie, that still kills me sometimes... ^^' ). I'd definitely tame a bary for caves, a thery because it's very strong and still good at farming for some materials, a yuti because buffing is important, and for the last two.... hmmm idk, probably a second Thery for the mate boost, and a rex or a second yuti? idk, difficult question :3 I'm looking forward to your choices :3
my five picks would be thylacoleo, theri ,Deinosuchus for caves and the theri and thyl for general use. The theri ,yuti for boss fights and the argy for getting a around to higher ground and carrying my metal,for my shoulder pet would be a otter.
Bari, daeodon, 3x rex to breed up. Might have a hard time with bosses otherwise. Most boss dinos can super breed with only 3, but you probably don't have time for that.
I think sustaining herbivores for boss fights and overseer with veggie cakes will be alot better than meat eaters, plus theris are the harvest all gods
Carcha is #1 for the map and world bosses meat farm, therezino #2 for all instanced bosses, caves fiber hide and berry, basilosaur #3 over tuso because of size and maneuverability, #4 id go either maewing for many reasons if no maewing allowed/ lightning wyvern for travel and farm, plus a couple bosses. #5 i would pick mantis for my all in 1 farmer since he shines late game. Shoulder pet otter
In a challenge like this, you really wish you had access to a mantis =S edit: basilosaurus might be better at caving, but I bet the turtle will be better at boss fights =P
Megatherium with vampiric for broodmother. Deinosuchus with vampiric and giga bite for megapithecus and dragon Basilosaurus for water caves Baryonyx for other caves Archaeopteryx to skip tek cave and use tek suit for overseer Otter shoulder pet
you better keep berrys out of your 0 slot as you might end up taming a pego, and being stuck with it, lol that would be a real getting arked, end up with 2 or 3 pegos lol
Argy, Bary och 3 deinosuchus. This way you can breed for stats on the third and kill of a parent to get higher stats if needed. Dragon as always will be the biggest problem
Mesopithicus, Baryonyx, Basi/Deino, Yuty, + Theri/RexDeino (Not sure on boss damage dealers) AND a whole lot of shotgun shells 😀 Can Deino do underwater caves?
Coudnt you tame dinos that are not ridable or shoulder pets like Dodo, Dilo, Kentro, Hyenadon, Kairuku, Purlovia, Queen Bee, Lystro, Achatina etc (dont know if they are more, that are all i can recall right on the spot) with your ruleset Just asking
A good Trike would be a great early tame. Your rules stipulate that the Tame must DIE to be replaced. But a good Trike will carry you till the late game as a pushback bruiser and gatherer. At least till you replace it with something like a good Thery.
Hope u haven’t deleted ur soloing the ark island series in order to make this one for u haven’t beaten the overseer yet Phlinger. 😝😅 wanted to see if you’d do the basic theri army or wait till gen 2 to use ur shadowmane army. 😝 also theri, yuty, basi, bary, Rex, and shoulder pet a monkey 😁
This will be a good one to watch! I do like the bary in place of the thyla! A basi for under water is a must. Yutys can be just as good as rexes, if not better! I will have to think about the other two. Definitely a meso for the shoulder!

Seeing Phlinger putting the mejo in slot 0 makes me wonder what if a random pego runs into Phlinger and become tamed
Bary for caves, Yuti for boss fights and 3 deinosuchus for daily driver, underwater, and boss fights.
I totally agree with that could definitely take a few bosses that way
If Phoo allows taming for traits but not to keep, 1 Deinosuchus can solo all the island bosses. Giga bite and run triggering broken bones and boss melts.
Haha, I said this in stream (yuti replaced with thyla or argie) like a week ago! I LOVE the god-croc, but they're hella o.p.
Yuti isn't needed with Deinos!
You sir are nuts! I love this idea! It will definitely be one crazy adventure! "may the odds be ever in your favor" 🤞
Hey Phlinger!! Amazing, you did not sound particularly enthusiastic about the idea when stream discussion was going on, happy that you decided to do it! Good luck to you!!
Ps.: Alphas do take good blueprints and preparation , but I can confirm that soling alpha dragon on a deer with no other pets is possible:)
Oh wowowow!! So excited!!! We were chatting about this in the stream chat. I thought it would be a while before we would see this series
Oh man, this series is gonna be 🔥
Thanks!

@@Phlingerpssht! All your series are the best 😄!
Almost can’t believe you did it. I was there during the live stream that this was brought up, it’ll be fun to watch. Good luck.
Love the new challenge. Excited to see where you take it!
Good morning Phlinger and Phamily! I hope you have a great weekend! Theri, Dienosuchus, Allo, Rex, Bary for caving. Shoulder pet would have to be Mesopithicus.
happy for this challenge GoodLuck Phling

Love this concept! Looking forward to these episodes!! ❤
Id be careful carrying those mejos in the last slot or you might end up with a pego as your shoulder pet. lol Love the series concept. Good luck.
Not sure what I would pick (other than bary), but I’m excited to watch this series!
Stoked for this series 🤌
Man this gunna be a tough one! Love this idea for you though!
I think I would have to take a Thyla because it’s good for mobility/ taming/ caving but otherwise I have no idea what I’d do
Morning brother Phlinger!
A new fresh start and a challenge series! I love early game Ark and this should be interesting with the challenge! 👍🏼💪🏼
I just tamed my first charcharodontosaurus and am really impressed with it. If I could only tame 5 dinos, a charchar would definitely be one of them. My others would probably be yuti, deinosuchus, and bary, with a second of one of the four for a mate boost.

Great video. I can’t wait to see what you tame. Have a good one Phlinger 😊

You had me for a moment :P You can get and even farm honey without taming a bee =)
I proposed this challenge! Acouple of months back I asked, if you played by Pokémon rules, with 6 team members and a spare HM Mule, what would you pick?
I just wanted to know what a veteran like yourself would choose put of the hundreds of creatures added what would you choose.
But this is even better, your basically playing a NUZLOCKE Challenge!
I love challenge runs. This is gonna be an awesome series.
This should be very interesting and fun. Bary for sure (caves and daily driver) Yuti and Rex. That only leaves two. I understand your reasoning for a Phoo.

Breed the Theri with what? You only have 1 Theri slot :P It's not what 'breeds' would you pick, it's individual dinosaurs.
Phlinger, embrace the Deinosuchus! 💚💚💚 It's vanilla, somehow 🤪
"walk" "13 steps to nowhere" "I'm broken" "shattered" "clash with reality" "Suicide Note" "Revolution" "Becoming" "war nerve" "Domination" 🤟🏻 Keep up awesome content sir 💪🏻🇫🇮
Good morning Phlinger. I would agree on a Bary for the caving and ground. I would also probably get a Yuti and a Rex if not a Theri or Ceratosauras for boss fights. I would agree on a shoulder phoo I've watched it save you more than once lol, and would more than likely get a Basi as well since jellyfish are a problem.

Good morning Phlinger!!!!
Really looking forward to this series.
I’m gonna have to try something like this, seems like a great challenge!
FROG is my number 1, no contest... then Yuti, Rex, Theri and maybe an Otter
Survival: 1 Rex (overall killa), 1 megatherium (bug control, it can clear the fire cave for chitin, might need a cryopod), 1 Anky (quicker metal, I've used one to collect oil around the island, boost weight, oxygen and damage. They are safe tames to explore with and can travel across water decently. 1 Basilo and 1 bary (caves and underwater carnage) Boss: Kill the Basilo and replace with Rex or Megatherium
Hmm, a yuty, a theri, an anky, a barry then whatever other tames you want to tame for boss fights. Not sure if an anky is really a good choice but I just cannot stand the game without my dino harvesters for everything 😂.
Edit: forgot you'll almost certainly need something like a basilosaurus for the water caves. Honestly it might be a bit scummy but I would probably wait for one dino to die and replace it with a basilosaurus for long enough to do the water caves at least. Unless you ended up just bum rushing the caves to try and get the artifact and get out regardless of what dies in the process.
Edit2: Dang no replacements either
I vote for baryonyx for caves, mammoth for gathering everything, mesopithecus for shoulder pet, deinosuchus for underwater, and theri for bosses
Good luck Phlinger
Otter for temps. Argy, Bary & Deinosuchus for sure. TBH that would about cover everything you need.
Man, gonna be a tough one. Tough, but fun.
How I would attempt this run... I probably wouldn't, haha. But my shoulder and 5 would be...
Otter- for temp control especially for snow biome and caves
Baryonyx- cave dino, reg and underwater, can jump so lava cave plus
Therazinosaurus- main dino for dragon fight, ok wood,thatch, fiber, berry harvester, possible main mount (not fast but stamina for days)
Yuti- boss cheerleader
Rex- boss damage dealer
Argentavous- Alt mount, pack mule for harvesting
I'd tame an otter as shoulder pet, because of the protection against weather (I'm a newbie, that still kills me sometimes... ^^' ). I'd definitely tame a bary for caves, a thery because it's very strong and still good at farming for some materials, a yuti because buffing is important, and for the last two.... hmmm idk, probably a second Thery for the mate boost, and a rex or a second yuti? idk, difficult question :3 I'm looking forward to your choices :3
This is going to be fun❤
i've waited a year for this series!
Im going Allo, Thyla, Argent,, Sarco, and Rex. And shoulder pet would have to be Vulture. But if I was on Lost Island, I've have to go Dinopithecus.
Hi Phlinger Coffee time. :)
Argy, bary, and 3 rexes for me
my five picks would be thylacoleo, theri ,Deinosuchus for caves and the theri and thyl for general use. The theri ,yuti for boss fights and the argy for getting a around to higher ground and carrying my metal,for my shoulder pet would be a otter.
Bari, daeodon, 3x rex to breed up. Might have a hard time with bosses otherwise. Most boss dinos can super breed with only 3, but you probably don't have time for that.
good morning everyone! 🎉
My 5 would be basilo, theri, anky, argy, thyla, and otter. Would have to do without the yuti because of underwater caves.
Gonna have to cut one of them, you're at 6
@@Phillip_of_Burns 1 Shoulder pet is allowed
Ah, now I hear the rules that we get a free shoulder pet. Otter would be my choice too. I rarely use a shoulder pet.
@@Phlinger think I was hearing that rule as you were writing it. Good luck on the challenge!
Baryonyx will carry phlinger on this Challenge
I think sustaining herbivores for boss fights and overseer with veggie cakes will be alot better than meat eaters, plus theris are the harvest all gods
Carcha is #1 for the map and world bosses meat farm, therezino #2 for all instanced bosses, caves fiber hide and berry, basilosaur #3 over tuso because of size and maneuverability, #4 id go either maewing for many reasons if no maewing allowed/ lightning wyvern for travel and farm, plus a couple bosses. #5 i would pick mantis for my all in 1 farmer since he shines late game.
Shoulder pet otter
Hi Phlinger, excellent challenge, this will test you😁, the gamma buttons on my keyboard don't want to work ..any ideas mate?
In a challenge like this, you really wish you had access to a mantis =S
edit: basilosaurus might be better at caving, but I bet the turtle will be better at boss fights =P
Megatherium with vampiric for broodmother.
Deinosuchus with vampiric and giga bite for megapithecus and dragon
Basilosaurus for water caves
Baryonyx for other caves
Archaeopteryx to skip tek cave and use tek suit for overseer
Otter shoulder pet
you better keep berrys out of your 0 slot as you might end up taming a pego, and being stuck with it, lol that would be a real getting arked, end up with 2 or 3 pegos lol
Argy, Bary och 3 deinosuchus. This way you can breed for stats on the third and kill of a parent to get higher stats if needed. Dragon as always will be the biggest problem
Or many replace the argu for a theri
I can't play Ark without an Iguanodon and an Allosaurus, but not sure they'de be too helpful. 😅
What happens if a pago gets tamed off of you?
That would suck!
Mesopithicus, Baryonyx, Basi/Deino, Yuty, + Theri/RexDeino (Not sure on boss damage dealers) AND a whole lot of shotgun shells 😀 Can Deino do underwater caves?
He is Leaving mejo’s in his last inventory slot it would be hilarious if accidentally tamed a pego 🤣
Gonna suck if he gets two pego s by mistake.............heheh
But this one is going to be good to watch!!!!
Otter for shoulder pet.. rex, theri, yut, basi, am conflicted with either thyla or bary. 🤣
Coudnt you tame dinos that are not ridable or shoulder pets like Dodo, Dilo, Kentro, Hyenadon, Kairuku, Purlovia, Queen Bee, Lystro, Achatina etc (dont know if they are more, that are all i can recall right on the spot) with your ruleset
Just asking
500 Phoo bucks??
A good Trike would be a great early tame.
Your rules stipulate that the Tame must DIE to be replaced. But a good Trike will carry you till the late game as a pushback bruiser and gatherer.
At least till you replace it with something like a good Thery.
Hope u haven’t deleted ur soloing the ark island series in order to make this one for u haven’t beaten the overseer yet Phlinger. 😝😅 wanted to see if you’d do the basic theri army or wait till gen 2 to use ur shadowmane army. 😝 also theri, yuty, basi, bary, Rex, and shoulder pet a monkey 😁
You want a real challenge play on official even pve 😊
I would get a Barry, a Rex, a therizino, allosaurus, thylacolio
My 5 tames would be on island would be Megatherium rex argy yuty phoo
Oguanadon and rockets for your boss fights
If it wasnt for the cave requirement i would say a trike for your DD
Surely you cant beat the game with just 5 tames??...
If you can use mods NOTHOSAURUS, theri, wyvern, gacha,cosmo! Edit just saw at end island only meh :) then argy theri archelon deinosuchus phoo :)
Thyla,Rex,argy,pt,basi
Phantastic!
Not 5 tames only if you can replace them I can't watch when thumb nail is lieing
FIRST!!!!
Hay @phlinger maybe use bobs genetics to recover any Dino's first and only be allowed to tame a new one after the gene has spoiled. 🫤👍😁
