      I notice you keep worrying when you fall off cliffs on your tames so thought I'd let you in on a tip. If you dismount your tame before you hit the ground it stops your tame taking fall damage as tamed Dino's don't take fall damage as long as there not being ridden 👍🏼👍🏼 keep it up mate love your videos

      Yes, not only it does take up to 11 days to fully grow a specific creature, it also took YEARS of the entire communities breeding creatures to get the ultimate optimized top stats of several creatures, with zeroed non-useful stats (stamina, oxygen, etc) and maxed useful stats (weight, damage, health, etc) - depending on the use of the creature- .

    Hey Butch, you’ve told earlier that you heard that you need to do the caves multiple times. This is only the case if you want to do all difficulty levels of bosses. For your first playthrough it’s not recommended to jump to the hardest difficulty and its generally a better idea to first do everything on easy and then evaluate if you want to do medium and hard. Note that hard REQUIRES imprinting for every Dino and high tier saddles.

It was a breath of fresh air seeing someone be genuine and original so ofcourse i subbed and was interested in future content. Now when i seen that you went into ark, ( a game which ive been hooked on ever since its pre beta days when it was first introduced) i was truly interested in how u was gonna take to it. Fast forward to now, ive been going through a pretty crazy part in my life and honestly everytime i sit down and load up my xbox and turn on youtube, your videos really help me escape and have me cracking up. Sorry for the long comment but thanks alot for being you.

      megalosaurus is the only perk to eternal night really, reapers too ofc but reapers were literally made to be the kings of that map, but that aside night is the worst time of the game cause of the terrible visibility and aberation is all night all the time plus thats around the point wildycard started really gettin into their anti flier kick and made it a no flier map and designed the map so that even with a flier it would still be hard to traverse in most places not to mention most of the best places for a base aesthetically are horrible places for bases cause of the darkness callin constant nameless unless you got a constant glowpet.

    The massive theropod in the cave was a megalosaurus. Think compact, furry, cave rex. It sleeps during the day so if it's day time you'll find them curled up like a cat and snoozing. Kinda cute, but its eyes glow and you mostly find them in caves. They have scary abilities and they're weaker during the day, but they're crazy cool tames.

    My advice is stay on a dino as much as you can. When getting drops hit the transfer all button in the inventory and get gone quick. No need to read through the items until you are safe. Aside from the rider bonus, the imprint also raised the base stats. Look at the stats before and after imprint before leveling, and yes with online 1x rates to raise a carcha it takes 2 days to hatch and 10 days to raise. It creates an entire in game economy.

    There is a cave on an island in the middle of the swamp east of you that is easy. The REALLY hard caves are in the north and the underwater caves might be a struggle for you.

    I watched your Subnautica series, then I stumbled upon this and realized it's you... subscribed immediately. You are doing so well now. Love how you are handling the barry with the back-and-forth style attacks in the cave. They are also an EXCELLENT water mount as they don't drown and have a spin attack in the water capable of stunning a shark. The lava cave? I hate that one too, even if you follow the right path before the platforming (easier route). For me, in my opinion, the worst is not the main ice cave, it's the underwater East cave, no such thing as over preparing for that one. The thing that I like best about your series that really stands you apart from all other gamers, is your added voice over narration.

    the swamp cave (use gas masks), that one near the volcano, and the two central caves south of the redwoods (bring a scuba tank) are all easiest done riding in on a single levelled-up bary using a good saddle. Imprinting is a huge help, but aim for 10K health and 500-600% melee stats and you're golden, just keep some raw fish in it for healing. If you grab a high-level dimorph to ride on your shoulder (disable it's weight as it counts against you and bary) and level it up to lots of melee it will also add attacks from your shoulder, especially to bats. Paired with a good pump shotgun and good leather armor (you can repair in your inventory with hide and fiber) you can run these four caves every day. The cave loot drops, regardless of color, are always worth checking. Got 4 ascendant saddle BPs out of the first two runs of them, including a rex BP with 176 armor. That's critical for boss fights.

    You're right that those 30% buffs are only applied when you're riding the dino but imprinted creatures still get a stat boost even when unridden; you should look at their stats before and after imprinting to see the effect. Riding an imprinted creature means you get the 30% damage and defense on top of the stat increase.

    Good job. The imprint is very good but the saddle really makes the difference. With this saddle your dino only gets arounf 20% of the damage and thats really op.

    To clarify, the rider buff for 30% damage output and resistance only applies to the one you're riding, true. But the imprinting does more than just give that bonus. If you check the stats of your dinos before you do the imprint and check them after, you'll see that they get static stat increases to each health, stamina, weight and melee. Those are there whether you're riding them or not, so it's still beneficial to imprinting dinos that you're going to be taking into boss fights as it's like having an additional (I believe...) 3 level boosts PER stat line that you don't have to put in later. So when you are leveling them, you can get those numbers even higher. And Butch... you're going to want all the help you can get for the bosses. If I were to venture a guess and say you'll probably try to go the gamma route as it's your first time through and ascend off of gamma level tek cave. Nothing wrong with that, in fact I'd recommend it. The first boss of the game is one that you've already qualified for technically. You should have all the artifacts to do it. But You don't have the dinos for it. There's a particular dino in the game that is an absolute beast for that boss, but high level health and melee rexes, imprinted and preferably with good quality saddles and you should be just fine. There's another dino that I think you've only come across once that is an absolute god send for bosses, won't spoil it. but it is primarily found in the cold areas of the game. You got lucky when you found it the first time as you were on the border between cold and not and it had wandered over before you had checked out some ruins. Definitely gonna want to have a look at trying to catch one of those things and playing around with it's mechanics.
    Peace and love, Personally I think this is the easiest cave in the game as there's no spots (atleast none that im aware of), that you can insta die from, glitch death, or ya know, LAVA. Just high level creatures inside. A Good Bary makes light work of nearly every cave in the game (2 come to mind that it doesn't). Glad you got through this one unscathed. I saw the title and not gonna lie, I was 1) hoping it was this cave and 2) Really hoped that you didn't die because I absolutely love this series!

    The megalosaurus you encountered in the cave could have drastically changed the outcome of this video. They are like a tiny rex except they can grab you off your dino like a kapro and chew you to death. On one of the expansion maps coming to ASA called aberration, they are one of the best tames.

      @@josesolismusic no, but aberrant ones are different. They don't sleep half of every day like non-aberrant ones. And because of that, and because of Aberration's unique mix of creatures, they are in a different tier there. On other maps (my first one I tamed was actually on Rag) they are kind of just a novelty. I named mine "Sleepy Boi" and he was more a decoration than anything else. But on Ab, they are awesome. Like a combination rex and allo or something, but closer in size to a bary.

    I've never seen Paranormal Activity and normally I'm a big no-no on horror as a genre too. I think the only paranormal horror I've done is Phasmophobia, which isn't a survival game and has no story, you just take missions to identify ghosts. Lots of fun, heaps of variability, every mission feels different. If you wanted to try that out, I'd love to see it. But the other horror I've done, In Sound Mind, is more like an emotional rollercoaster and more psychological in nature. Amazing experience, would definitely recommend, 100%. It's more survival, has an awesome story that unfolds so perfectly. Would also absolutely love to see you play that. It's not remotely as long as Ark, probably not even Subnautica, but it left a lasting impression on me on so many different levels.

    Just to clarify, imprinted dinos are absolutely better than non imprinted whether you're riding or not. At 100% imprint a dino will have ~20% higher health, food, melee, movement speed, and even torpor. These boosts are permanent and not dependent on being ridden. Riding just gives a bonus 30% damage and resistance.

    as far as animal timers go, this is the rule of thumb:

    shorter timers for disposable animals, minimal setbacks in death, less concern and effort
