If anyone is wondering what crates drop what Loot I previously made this video here which showcases all loot found in each supply beacon and cave crate ua-cam.com/video/XNxR5gRE43Y/v-deo.html After dying 5 times trying to showcase the snow cave on foot and with creatures that only fit through the small entrance I gave up on it being good for farming due to its difficulty, it does however drop some of the BEST loot in the red crates which is comparable to the Swamp Cave and The 2 Underwater Caves, it also drops saddles like Therizino and Yutyrannus more often than other methods, you can most likely try raising larger creatures like a Rex or Yuty in the large part of the entrance and should be able to have full access to the first 2 large rooms at least. When I finally get around to tackling this cave i'm going to raise a baby Yuty in the entrance of the cave hoping that will make it easier to run through with it's ability to fear roar. Would like to know how everyone has been running the hard Snow Cave and if they think this strat will work? XD
sadly yuty dies quick.., the best method is to run with 2 barys, one keep whistling to be in front, so purlovias attack him, and then you killing them. that works best for me, never died.
You must have very strong Bary's? I did do it with a Yuty in the end, I just fear roared everything then use the pump action to easily kill everything with the debuff as it does a load of damage XD@@eligijuspranskunas3509
Glad it was helpful! I always think it's best to over-prepare too so some items you admittedly may not need but it is what I personally take to each cave and it always works :)
The Gasmask trick is awesome, I didn't believe it was true until I tested it out by standing naked infront of 5 Arthros on a high ledge letting them shoot me, shot me like 50 times and I lost no dura! Crazy! Awesome video as always mate! You deserve so many more subs for content this good!
One thing to add about swamp cave, if you don't have access to a gas mask, a Full set of Scuba works (you have to wear all 4 pieces, even flippers) Works on Official
It's crap though, everything just gets destroyed so easily :( It works if you don't get it shot off lol but it's highly unlikely, have to take a lot of spares, absolute nightmare, I always wait until I can make a gasmask tbh, it's actually less hassle :D
Amazing videos bro! So informative, straight to the point and extremely well edited! I have no idea how you only have 26k subs, maybe the world has gone mad🤣
Go tell that to Nooblets or any other big UA-camrs, they're doing the same videos they uploaded 7 years ago, at least Bey puts in 10 times the effort, kinda built different.@@tonywebb123
Cheers mate! Appreciate the help!! It's touch finding specific BPS in this game! I have a much better understanding of it now with this video and your other video opening 100 of the crates!! Legend!
For early farms you can go into the other snow cave and most of the times you don't even need to fight anything, 1 drop, either yellow or red and spawns pretty quickly back. In and out, just set up a small house to keep you warm when needed and to fast travel to every now and then to grab the loot. Put loot in a chest and pick it up later on. Grappling hook is not neccesary but is recomended
I used to bring a huge pack of Baryonyx to these caves but Wildcard broke the Barys AI and they stick to the ground instead of swimming up which makes it a bit frustrating but their stun ability and quick heal on consuming fish makes the ideal for underwater caves. killing an alpha mosa with a group works fine too. good saddles are a bonus of course.
Also if you are singleplayer or on a private server you can breed a megatherium for the swamp cave! (Just put the baby on follow in and raise it in the first room after clearing it) It’s amazing for Chitin as well to get lots of Cementing Paste and it can go mostly everywhere :D You might get not be able to go through the first turn to the left after the first hallway, but placing a foundation there fixes that!
@@BEYPlaysGames Yeah I didnt think it would work either, its a little buggy but suprisingly it works all the way there :D You can even build a ramp up for it to get up to the first section where the yellow drop is!
Damn, this gives me flashbacks 🥹...i did the exact same thing when thylacoleos came out, and cryos werent a thing..... in the ice cave on ragnarok for farming drops and deathworm horns. Damnnnn the flashbacks.
If you do swamp cave with gasmask, dont wear any other armor. Arthos wont break your gas mask as long as it hits your body. This will hurt so bring med brews. Once you get knowlodge of the layout, you can skip most mobs by jumping over them with frog.
lol did my run last night in redwood cave. Make sure your prepared at least a few masks. Arthys if they hit will break mask in one spit. Plenty of CP and chitin with toad. Water cave is deadly also basil is a must.
May I suggest bringing a pack of mutated and imprinted baryonix to aid your basilo. It's useful because you can hop on a bary to run the above water sections
The snow cave seems an interesting challenge. Great advice for the swamp cave, I use all that stuff, some soups and antidote to heal rabies. Great work Bey, thumbs up.
What's the new place for Therizino or Yuty saddles? I remember in ASE they were big in underwater caves, but seems to be different now? Haven't gotten either from Swamp Cave either. Only seen them in overland beacon drops...
Yeah it seems difficult to find certain saddle locations in this game, I've seen both Theri saddles and Yuty saddles in red land beacons, and a lot in the hard snow cave red drops...Hard snow cave seems to be best for both, but ofcourse that cave is really difficult to farm, If you could somehow breed a baby high level Yuty in the cave entrance and raise it there it could potentially be able to get you through the worst of the cave with it's fear roar! That cave is difficult without cryos!
If you keep the rare flower buff on while in the snow cave with the oversized badgers, they wont stun you when they jump out. That with a good bary that has a good saddle (masterwork+) and the sporadic fish pools for a quick regen (barry heals big chunks of health when u kill fish) its actually the easiest cave(so long as you keep the aforementioned rare flowers buff up, do a swamp run with a therizinosaur and bring 200+ flowers into the cave)
If you have the cryopod mod on, you can bring the megatherium into the swamp cave. They’ll fit in most areas in the cave, they just don’t fit in that first entrance hole. Once you get them in there, even a low level on will shred through everything and walk out barely haven taken damage.
Well when I tested the Deep Sea Loot ones the loot was terrible haha, they will probably update it at some point though, I was finding cloth armour in Deep Sea Loot crates XD
They were still bad when I checked a couple of weeks ago, still finding mostly apprentice stuff from them including Cloth gear XD so I never bother picking them up and just visit the underwater caves for loot
Hey, not OP, but I can help you out. Rarity *kind of* matters, but it's mostly just a general indicator of quality. Green -> Blue -> Purple -> Yellow -> Teal is how you usually get better quality loot, but it's not a super strict rule, and sometimes you can get, for example, Masterwork stuff that's better than some Ascendant. I suspect that this could be because several things are increased by better quality at once: DMG% on weapons and armor on armor, AND durability. Sometimes you can get higher quality equipment that has absolutely silly amounts of durability and not a huge amount of DMG% or armor, as if it was a wild dino with most of its points in not the best stats. Likewise, you could loot lower quality weapons with higher damage and not a lot of durability. Why this matters is because crafting & repair costs go up significantly the higher quality your items, and it's another reason why lower quality is sometimes better. Say, you're farming for saddles for your boss dinos. A 120 or 150 armor Ascendant blueprint is definitely much, MUCH better than something like a 80 armor Journeyman (contrary to what some people might tell you), but it also costs probably 4-5 the amount of materials to craft, and in reality, you could kill the alpha bosses with the 80 armor saddles as well, if you've bred and leveled your dinos well, so in this case, lower quality might actually be "better." Same goes for weapons/armor on a smaller scale, although I do usually like to craft the best Longneck/Pump-action Shotgun/Sword I can find, because they're one time things. Still, worth looking out for how the stats are spread between DMG/armor and durability. For armor, I like a lot of durability so it doesn't break instantly if I'm attacked, even if it absorbs a bit less damage. For weapons, it's pretty hit or miss, high DMG melee weapons and shotguns are great because use don't use them a lot, just in emergencies, and it's absolutely clutch if it does a ton of damage in a cinch. For longnecks, if you shoot a lot, you kinda want some balance, because durability is also nice to have, just not if you have to sacrifice a lot of damage for it. Anyway, sorry for the long-winded answer, but it was kind of a loaded question :D If you need any other help, just let me know.
Perfect answer right above so saves me answering in detail XD...my personal quick opinion...I always check the stats of the items, loot quality is very random, you can find Journeyman items that can be far better than Ascendant. So I always check the stats, durability is also an important factor for armour and weapons, not just the damage and armour rating, Ascendant items can be very expensive to craft, which is the downside to the higher quality but you can still find high quality journeyman and mastercraft items of the same quality of Ascendant and they will naturally be cheaper to make. So when you find items like that you know you're on to a winner :D
Is my game bugged? I don't get a creatures and tribute tab on any land drops at all. Is there a setting that enables that feature or is it not on single player mode?
@@BEYPlaysGames found the answer for anyone curious. You cannot upload and download items through supply crates and caches on single player mode. I was going bonkers trying to figure it out lol.
All had decent saddles, around 90 armour...Basi had 40k health with 500 damage....Megs are all around 8k health and 400-450 melee! Megs are super strong, the more in the pack the more damage they deal. Just from having a full 8 in a pack can contribute to each doing hundreds more damage a bite! And ofcourse they have bleed XD
So I've been breeding sharks there my new favourite but where do I see pack bonus ? I take out a male and female for mate boost but stopped taking out 3 or more as I can't see the pack bonus and can't find information on this
@BEYPlaysGames thank you but is there any info on this I'd like to know what the actual buff is like damg increase or damg resistance .. also does it increase the more sharks in ya pack .. am I better taking 8 sharks out or is it same buff if just take 3 sharks out, thank you for replying
No problem, I don't think there is any evidence, on the ARK wiki page it just says about their bleed and being able to have up to 8 in a pack, i'll do some testing next time I get back to the game, let you know if their damage increases with more sharks and find out if they take less damage too.@@Oldskoolraver-OG
Also the smaller snow cave is super easy! Just pop a bug repellant and nothing in there attacks while with a grappling hook you can get all the red and yellow drops easy.
@@BEYPlaysGames No actually bug repellent works against the bats, spiders and centipedes but does NOT work against scorpions. Its even in the description of Bug repellant that it keeps bats away until you approach them too closely. Arthros, Onyc, Araneos :) For whatever reason the damn Pulmiscorpius arent affected by bug repellent which is a shame.
Sorry It's been a long day, and for some reason I read that you were on about hard snow cave and there was me thinking 'how does Bug Repellent work with PolarBears,Yeti's and Purlovias' hahaha@@SpeikobraRote Now i realize you're on about small snow cave on the side of the cliff, my bad! Now the Bug Repellent makes sense XD
@@BEYPlaysGames Ahh okay yeah misunderstanding there lol. Of course going in with bug repellent and stand next to a yeti wont do XD Was only talking about the other snow cave, which isnt called snow cave but i forgot the name lol, where only araneo, bats and death pits await you.
It has certain area where it will work sometimes, if not you will have to just hang around the area for like half an hour for them to spawn in naturally :(@@zirael3525
Can you do Xbox mod showcases for things like primal chaos and custom Dino levels. I don’t understand the Dino levels work and nothing on my map in spawning over 115
The Land beacons were dropping some pretty nuts stuff up until recently, alas, I just had an inventory bug and lost some ascended armour and a bunch of ammo .-.
Every drop is different, not all red crates are the same, for example...you can find all those items in both underwater caves in the blue, yellow and red drops...whereas in most caves only the red crates will drop that type of loot, I do have a separate video posted in the pinned comment that show in detail what you can find in every drop in each cave/and every land beacon.
If people are at all concerned about torpor on their tame and don't want to worry about stimulants, I personally use terror birds. They have insane torpor drain rate so you'll never have to worry. I also just prefer their mobility and small size.
Raasclark discovered a glitch where you can get an infinite red crate glitch in the swamp cave. Id go watch his video called “Opening 100 loot crates in Ark Survival Ascended” to learn how to pull it off
I've already seen it XD, it's not even a glitch, it's normally a thing you can do in Single Player assuming he is playing SP, if you log out in certain areas in caves the drops will instantly respawn! Worked the same way in ASE too :)
Haha yeah, it's how I would get artifacts and crates to spawn in right away! Just leave the game in certain areas and boom they're right there 🤣@@XmIner1YT
For some reason if you have over 1000 seconds of rare flower buff the purlovia won't dismount you so eat like 400 and have some for the way out I managed to die several times and get my bag and saddle for one bary that didn't make it rip redacted
I've found standard saddles in the red land beacons, unfortunately hard snow cave red crates are the likeliest place to find the Quetz platform saddles :( (The honourable mention)
I've been running loot drops for weeks now. I have everything else ready for the boss fights except for saddles, at this point I'm debating on whether to increase loot quality.
What saddles were you looking for? anything in particular? Increasing loot quality won't increase the rarity, only the actual stats of the items like armour rating and damage for example :( gotta be careful with increasing it too much, I find that stupidly good blueprints always cost your entire life savings to craft them 🤣
@@BEYPlaysGames oh, I didn't know that. I have an ascended Therri, Daedon and Megatherium BP but can't seem to find a Yuty or Rex BP, not even a premade one. I've been running regular drops and the swamp cave. I don't even bother with the snow cave because it never spawns drops.
Sorry mate! I must have missed this reply, did you have any luck finding any after? Yuty saddles only really spawn in the hard snow cave and i'd say the most common spot for Rex saddles would actually be swamp cave red drops :)@@LtLost15
Nothing spawns properly on Single Player XD....You can leave the game before going inside and rejoin and sometimers that fixes the spawns, or just hang around the area for like half an hour :(
Damn that must have been a lucky find, i'm yet to find one yet! At least it's all in the same video hey haha, that was the cave crate I would have expected to see a fishing rod if any!
It's just easier to run swamp cave with a megatherium and bug buff. No reason to have to take a shotgun and waste ammo. Arthros can't hit you if the mega is standing, but it can when the mega bends over when you're moving. Take a frog if you need cp obviously and it might be best to shotgun and medbrew with a gas mask in this case because the arthros can hit you on the frog.
Yes it's more viable now, I still personally just take a frog because of CP! But when I made this video a Megatherium wasn't ideal as there's no Cryopods in the game at the time so only way to use one for the cave was to breed one in the entrance XD which isn't ideal for a lot of players haha.
I have never seen anybody mention in game or in a video that you can just wear ghillie in swamp cave. You wear full ghillie and you take 7 damage every 5 seconds which means 2 medbrews last you a whole minute nearly. Now that I have stocked up 50k cementing paste I just go in on my beelzebufo, jump over the first mob of creatures and go straight to the yellow drop where there is no enemies. Then to the red drop where you clear out the enemies in 30 seconds easily and then just leave the cave jumping over everything. Usually in and out in 3 minutes and my character has 500 health so I don't even use medbrews anymore. If you need cementing paste bring a shotgun for the arthros as your frog will obviously hurt itself alot hitting them and an extra ghillie suit. Memorize the arthro spit animation, sound, and cooldown and jump with your frog and you can dodge arthro spit easily.
Sounds like a much more complicated and unsafe way to run it haha...some of the corridors are too narrow to just jump over the clusters of creatures with the frog, I've tried it in some cases and just got stuck inside a load of them almost dying...so I would honestly love to see it be done in 3 minutes if you're killing every Meganeura and grabbing all the loot crates inside, maybe you're just better at the game than me because for me I think that is actually impossible XD
It's definitely a tough cave to run, what I did was breed a strong Yutyrannus in the cave entrance, can't run it quickly but it definitely makes it far easier XD...Yuty has pretty good access to most of the cave once inside!
I was using a Megatherium after Cryos were added but I went in there recently and where my Megatherium could fit through before, wouldn't fit through any more, after the first tunnel It wouldn't fit past the first left turn, when did you last run the cave? I was pretty shocked when it wouldn't fit :P
It's better to have it than to not have it though let's be honest, plenty of times in ARK where i left a weapon at home thinking I won't need it and then I die because I didn't bring it lol, no cryos anymore, you still have to travel to the cave, anything could happen in ARK lol!
Yeah you don't need it, I did say you most likely won't ever shoot it in that cave but you never know when you need something in ARK no matter how much you think you don't need it :D
If anyone is wondering what crates drop what Loot I previously made this video here which showcases all loot found in each supply beacon and cave crate ua-cam.com/video/XNxR5gRE43Y/v-deo.html

"Hi, I'm Bear Grylls and if you go down to the cave there will be tons of nasties, so always have a bottle of piss handy"

So I always check the stats, durability is also an important factor for armour and weapons, not just the damage and armour rating, Ascendant items can be very expensive to craft, which is the downside to the higher quality but you can still find high quality journeyman and mastercraft items of the same quality of Ascendant and they will naturally be cheaper to make. So when you find items like that you know you're on to a winner :D
@@BEYPlaysGames Thank you Sensei 😇
Nice quads and calves bro! U should work a bit more on ur shoulders and chest👍
XD they don't call me Giraffe man for no reason! Haha.
@@BEYPlaysGames 🤣
Ótimo vídeo ❤ adorei esse guia
Very well made videos mae!
Did they take out the red drops at the bottom of the ocean?
Nah they are still there, but the loot tables are ass for those right now where you find Cloth armour inside them 🤣, I'm hoping they change them soon!
@@BEYPlaysGames that’s a Wild decision lol pun intended
😂@@destin20029
Liuplerodon buff works well to increase the loot
How long does it take for crates to respawn
around 45 minutes for most of them, Swamp Cave tends to respawn quicker though!
The loot goblin is showing us his ways! 😂
😆
I love Bey loot goblin....
Great video!
Amazing guide!!
Thanks man!
My goto guide for bps!
Awesome video theank you
Thank you!! No problem! :)
Can you block the loot drops that are undewater aeound the island?
As in block the spawns by building in there?
This guide is perfect!
Is my game bugged? I don't get a creatures and tribute tab on any land drops at all. Is there a setting that enables that feature or is it not on single player mode?
Hmmm, I can't say I've had that in Single Player! I'll let you know if I found out a solution!
@@BEYPlaysGames found the answer for anyone curious. You cannot upload and download items through supply crates and caches on single player mode. I was going bonkers trying to figure it out lol.
I would love to know what are the stats of ur basiliosaurus and Megalodons
All had decent saddles, around 90 armour...Basi had 40k health with 500 damage....Megs are all around 8k health and 400-450 melee! Megs are super strong, the more in the pack the more damage they deal. Just from having a full 8 in a pack can contribute to each doing hundreds more damage a bite! And ofcourse they have bleed XD
Thank u so much for the answer❤ @@BEYPlaysGames
No problem! :)@@Mousss400
Keep making videos Bey!
Best ARK guides brotherrrr!
Found on the last Snow cave you can use Carno's but can't use Bears, Thylo's Thersino will not fit.
what about the megatherium for the svamp cave ?
There's no Cryos so you'd have to breed a baby in there and even then it only has limited access to the cave!
I used to stomp solo just me and a basilo. Is this not possible anymore?
Depends how strong your Basilo is and if the cave spawns are crazy like mine in the video XD
So I've been breeding sharks there my new favourite but where do I see pack bonus ? I take out a male and female for mate boost but stopped taking out 3 or more as I can't see the pack bonus and can't find information on this
They will have a small number next to their name! It will be a +1-8 as that's how many they can have in a pack.
@BEYPlaysGames thank you but is there any info on this I'd like to know what the actual buff is like damg increase or damg resistance .. also does it increase the more sharks in ya pack .. am I better taking 8 sharks out or is it same buff if just take 3 sharks out, thank you for replying
No problem, I don't think there is any evidence, on the ARK wiki page it just says about their bleed and being able to have up to 8 in a pack, i'll do some testing next time I get back to the game, let you know if their damage increases with more sharks and find out if they take less damage too.@@Oldskoolraver-OG
@@BEYPlaysGames awesome ty yeh there my fav Dino but I can't get info .. cheers bud
Also the smaller snow cave is super easy! Just pop a bug repellant and nothing in there attacks while with a grappling hook you can get all the red and yellow drops easy.
Thanks! Pretty sure Bug repellent only works with bugs XD...It's Cactus Broth that works with all wilds! Unless they changed it in ASA!
@@BEYPlaysGames No actually bug repellent works against the bats, spiders and centipedes but does NOT work against scorpions. Its even in the description of Bug repellant that it keeps bats away until you approach them too closely. Arthros, Onyc, Araneos :) For whatever reason the damn Pulmiscorpius arent affected by bug repellent which is a shame.
Sorry It's been a long day, and for some reason I read that you were on about hard snow cave and there was me thinking 'how does Bug Repellent work with PolarBears,Yeti's and Purlovias' hahaha@@SpeikobraRote Now i realize you're on about small snow cave on the side of the cliff, my bad! Now the Bug Repellent makes sense XD
@@BEYPlaysGames Ahh okay yeah misunderstanding there lol. Of course going in with bug repellent and stand next to a yeti wont do XD Was only talking about the other snow cave, which isnt called snow cave but i forgot the name lol, where only araneo, bats and death pits await you.
Yeah haha, my misunderstanding there! I was half asleep when I read the original comment ha! @@SpeikobraRote
my cave drops are not spawning on host solo, do you know anyway to fix it?
Try logging out inside or outside the cave before going inside, that normally has them spawn in!
@@BEYPlaysGames doesnt work
It has certain area where it will work sometimes, if not you will have to just hang around the area for like half an hour for them to spawn in naturally :(@@zirael3525
Can you do Xbox mod showcases for things like primal chaos and custom Dino levels. I don’t understand the Dino levels work and nothing on my map in spawning over 115
Ooo, I would love to, maybe at some point! I haven't dove into any mods really yet! :D
The Land beacons were dropping some pretty nuts stuff up until recently, alas, I just had an inventory bug and lost some ascended armour and a bunch of ammo .-.
:(
Hold up is that Xbox controls? I thought it wasn’t out on Xbox yet.
It's not, i'm playing PC XD
what type of crate drops fabricated shotgun pistol bow and sniper? Only reds?
Every drop is different, not all red crates are the same, for example...you can find all those items in both underwater caves in the blue, yellow and red drops...whereas in most caves only the red crates will drop that type of loot, I do have a separate video posted in the pinned comment that show in detail what you can find in every drop in each cave/and every land beacon.
Thanks!
No problem!
i dont know what wc did in asa, but in water caves i found 1 to 2 crates, never got 3 loot crates, (did over 30 times each cave).
I always get 3 but it depends what type of server you're playing, if Single Player that always happens :D
Thanks Bey!
If people are at all concerned about torpor on their tame and don't want to worry about stimulants, I personally use terror birds. They have insane torpor drain rate so you'll never have to worry. I also just prefer their mobility and small size.
Good tip, Terror Birds are pretty decent in caves too, honestly don't think it will matter if you have an 80 plus armour saddle on whatever creature!
What’s up with basi hit box?
It isn't as great as it usual to be I must admit, can't hit things attacking it from behind as well as it could before :(
Raasclark discovered a glitch where you can get an infinite red crate glitch in the swamp cave. Id go watch his video called “Opening 100 loot crates in Ark Survival Ascended” to learn how to pull it off
I've already seen it XD, it's not even a glitch, it's normally a thing you can do in Single Player assuming he is playing SP, if you log out in certain areas in caves the drops will instantly respawn! Worked the same way in ASE too :)
@@BEYPlaysGames oh it works in ase too?!?!
Well I know what I’m doing today
Haha yeah, it's how I would get artifacts and crates to spawn in right away! Just leave the game in certain areas and boom they're right there 🤣@@XmIner1YT
For some reason if you have over 1000 seconds of rare flower buff the purlovia won't dismount you so eat like 400 and have some for the way out I managed to die several times and get my bag and saddle for one bary that didn't make it rip redacted
fantastic video
Thanks! :D
Your character looks a bit like you "Stretch Armstrong"d Peter Dinklage to the point the elasticity wore out.
I dont know why that is what i see.
🤣
Till I seen your video I would die in swamp I keep tale mask off so it didn't brake i didn't know the naked trick tks
Best place for quetz platform saddle ???!
I've found standard saddles in the red land beacons, unfortunately hard snow cave red crates are the likeliest place to find the Quetz platform saddles :( (The honourable mention)
I've been running loot drops for weeks now. I have everything else ready for the boss fights except for saddles, at this point I'm debating on whether to increase loot quality.
What saddles were you looking for? anything in particular? Increasing loot quality won't increase the rarity, only the actual stats of the items like armour rating and damage for example :( gotta be careful with increasing it too much, I find that stupidly good blueprints always cost your entire life savings to craft them 🤣
@@BEYPlaysGames oh, I didn't know that.
I have an ascended Therri, Daedon and Megatherium BP but can't seem to find a Yuty or Rex BP, not even a premade one. I've been running regular drops and the swamp cave. I don't even bother with the snow cave because it never spawns drops.
Sorry mate! I must have missed this reply, did you have any luck finding any after? Yuty saddles only really spawn in the hard snow cave and i'd say the most common spot for Rex saddles would actually be swamp cave red drops :)@@LtLost15
On single player the Easy underwater cave loot drops rarely spawn…
Nothing spawns properly on Single Player XD....You can leave the game before going inside and rejoin and sometimers that fixes the spawns, or just hang around the area for like half an hour :(
In the swamp cave in a red crate i loot a ascendant fishing rod blueprint so you can have fishing rod to :)
Damn that must have been a lucky find, i'm yet to find one yet! At least it's all in the same video hey haha, that was the cave crate I would have expected to see a fishing rod if any!
It's just easier to run swamp cave with a megatherium and bug buff. No reason to have to take a shotgun and waste ammo. Arthros can't hit you if the mega is standing, but it can when the mega bends over when you're moving. Take a frog if you need cp obviously and it might be best to shotgun and medbrew with a gas mask in this case because the arthros can hit you on the frog.
Yes it's more viable now, I still personally just take a frog because of CP! But when I made this video a Megatherium wasn't ideal as there's no Cryopods in the game at the time so only way to use one for the cave was to breed one in the entrance XD which isn't ideal for a lot of players haha.
I have never seen anybody mention in game or in a video that you can just wear ghillie in swamp cave. You wear full ghillie and you take 7 damage every 5 seconds which means 2 medbrews last you a whole minute nearly. Now that I have stocked up 50k cementing paste I just go in on my beelzebufo, jump over the first mob of creatures and go straight to the yellow drop where there is no enemies. Then to the red drop where you clear out the enemies in 30 seconds easily and then just leave the cave jumping over everything. Usually in and out in 3 minutes and my character has 500 health so I don't even use medbrews anymore. If you need cementing paste bring a shotgun for the arthros as your frog will obviously hurt itself alot hitting them and an extra ghillie suit. Memorize the arthro spit animation, sound, and cooldown and jump with your frog and you can dodge arthro spit easily.
Sounds like a much more complicated and unsafe way to run it haha...some of the corridors are too narrow to just jump over the clusters of creatures with the frog, I've tried it in some cases and just got stuck inside a load of them almost dying...so I would honestly love to see it be done in 3 minutes if you're killing every Meganeura and grabbing all the loot crates inside, maybe you're just better at the game than me because for me I think that is actually impossible XD
Ghillie with scuba works great
I’m curious are you finding megalaina here?
@@lastk1ngs636there’s a few in the cave that I’ve seen! Very uncommon though!
I’m late but I’ve run the swamp cave with a lvl 85 wild tame Pyromane and a scuba set on official pve
So with Cryopods not being able to be used outside of base, Snow Cave most likely won't be worth running with how hard itll be
It's definitely a tough cave to run, what I did was breed a strong Yutyrannus in the cave entrance, can't run it quickly but it definitely makes it far easier XD...Yuty has pretty good access to most of the cave once inside!
Swamp cave is so good now!!
For sampa cave I bring 2 masks, go naked, use a megstherium and rare flowers. Easy lvls and farm
I was using a Megatherium after Cryos were added but I went in there recently and where my Megatherium could fit through before, wouldn't fit through any more, after the first tunnel It wouldn't fit past the first left turn, when did you last run the cave? I was pretty shocked when it wouldn't fit :P
@BEYPlaysGames try rubbing yourself in the left side of the tunnels, usually do the trick
Wait y would you bring a shotgun into the fully underwater cave?
It's better to have it than to not have it though let's be honest, plenty of times in ARK where i left a weapon at home thinking I won't need it and then I die because I didn't bring it lol, no cryos anymore, you still have to travel to the cave, anything could happen in ARK lol!
Overprepared, never underprepared goes the saying 🤣
Yeah you don't need it, I did say you most likely won't ever shoot it in that cave but you never know when you need something in ARK no matter how much you think you don't need it :D
