Ark Basics: RockDrake and How to get their eggs! - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!

[@jpqprjax9389]

The rock drake can permanently glide/fly. From just jumping off the ground your can glide/fly round the whole map without touching the ground. When it jumps it auto starts to aim down. Pull its head up abit and it will level out and stay there forever, takes abit off practice

Unless it runs out of stamina.

[@jpqprjax9389]

@@fifteens there was a glitch for infinite stamina on the drake, not sure if its still in the game or fixed, can't remember exactly but you used change between modes (climb mode and normal mode) then get off the drake, when u got back on u had infinite stamina

I remember requesting this on a live stream of yours Phlinger, thank you for listening and thank you for all your help. Stay cool 😎

[@SteveFisher0571]

Not a bad video, for proper noobs I'd recommend farming the nests you can walk to without dropping into the trench, around 10.39 where you're clearing the drakes above the trench just keep going straight and keep the trench on your right, where the path forks keep right and there's an area with 3 or 4 nests that you can climb up to then glide down to your mount, 2 or 3 cryo podded megalos or spinos are good to see off the mobs then get the hell out of there back up to the area where you can climb out Once you have a decent-ish drake there's a nest that infinitely spawns eggs that you can farm for high level drakes, at 10.17 in the video just follow that land bridge that goes towards the top right of the screen then glide along the trench on the left, the nest is high up on the right side of the trench, kind of up and right from where Phlinger aims the shotgun at 11.34, all you have to do is glide from the land bridge, check the egg and grab it, if it's bad glide back to the land bridge and eat it then go back to the nest, if it's good I climb up then kind of do a circle back to the land bridge to try and keep the high level drake in range of the nest so it spawns another egg, pulling it away can cause lower level eggs to spawn depending on what drakes are in the area, this way you can get as many high level eggs as your drake can carry in one trip

[@slenderman4788]

That's definitely the nest I'd go for at the start and many people seem to ignore its advantage. You could even glide in and out of there back to the spine without any mount or need to fight any Drake at all.

[@HellexTRU]

i just wanna say thanks phlinger. because all of your Ark ABCs led me to becoming a good ark player. like right know i just finished a “soloing the ark” type playthrough like defeating the king titan and stuff. i wouldn’t be able to do that without your help so really appreciate it man :D

[@jackweaver3702]

when i first started watching your basics i didn't know why the c was a coffee but now i have watched both season 4 and 5 i think i know now btw you are an amazing youtuber you deserve more subs but you got a new one today :)

[@skwarks]

I got my first aberration Drake last week following your vid. One slight suggestion, if you follow the path a bit further from where you dropped down there are a few nests above the main path at a dead end. You have to climb to get to them but once you've grabbed one you can just jump on your mount and run, no need to cryopod and climb out of the trench.

[@billiamg8032]

At the part after you’ve obtained the egg and you’re climbing up the cliff, I’d recommend making a cliff platform rest stop. Maybe have a bed or some supplies and tools. Maybe you can even hatch the egg there

[@picklerik8914]

I'm pretty new to ark and your videos help me out a lot whenever I'm confused of a new dino/creature so I'd like to thank you for that and just want to say that you deserve much more views and subs than what you get.

[@auspicious6653]

Thank you! I got a rock drake near launch of aberration but haven’t got one since and I’ve forgot the basics

TIPS: bring a longneck and a lot of bullets. this is important so that you can aggro drakes from a distance. circle around the trench first and clear out all the drakes. once you have done this, drop down and aggro and kill the rest. make sure to search the walls as they love to hide there. after that, climb up to a drake egg and grab it then glide to your dino. if you did it right, no drakes will come to you because they're all dead lmao. bring as many climbing picks as you can carry. i brought 5 and thought it would be overkill but it wasn't! it was glitchy the whole time and an earthquake happened in the middle of it. bring 5+ 100%. just a few tips to help! have a good day!

[@shaggysaurus]

I can never get over your luck. First egg... 185! Wow. Another great video. Thanks!

Another great ABC’s video, phlinger! Thanks for all the content, you are much appreciated :)

[@ryadinstormblessed8308]

Thanks for all the great tips Phlinger! This particular vid had so many of them! Heck, I'd never even tried cryo-freezing any adolescent dinos while raising them! Didn't even realize it could be done! And now you've just taught me why I'd want to -- to make the dino change which imprinting action it wants (in case I don't have what it wants at that moment).

[@Asertix357]

Of the three types of taming, hatch taming has to be the most disturbing when you think about it. You're going around, stealing eggs from the parents, and then bringing it back to your base to hatch and raise up, tricking the baby into thinking you're its parent because it imprints on you first.

[@romanyo314]

nah knock out tames you paralyze them then hand feed them so they become reliant or like trusting or you, like imagine a human tranqing u but then taking care of u so u love them

[@ryadinstormblessed8308]

Phlinger, I can't seem to find that trench based on watching the video. You said something about going toward the "tide pools" is that the area name when you pull up the HUD? Also can you add in one moment of just showing your map, or the GPS coordinates, when you're standing at the first jumping off point?

[@stocke75]

I never use air conditioners, I hatch eggs with dimetrodons and pump everything into melee damage which improves their insulating ability

[@lee1davis1]

Five years of playing solo aberration and I finally got a rock drake. Hard as heck on solo. I had 3 megalocerous melee at 600% each, but I did it.

[@ttt-rq3vs]

Like a Thyla but better? They took the Megalania and gave it wings; ergo rock drake. Literally megalania climb walls and move on the walls the identical way rock drakes do. 😂 Also nice tip about drakes/megalania and climbing; stay in third person unless you’re in a weird spot, which effects the camera and you actually seeing where you’re going. Majority of the time it’s easier to maneuver around in third person, versus first person - because the camera is weird and janky when you’re climbing in first person.

[@thomasdevlin5825]

I've still never tamed one of these guys, I've tamed a wyvern and I've tamed a magmasaur (which was a nightmare, I have no idea how youtubers make it look easy) but I haven't spent enough time on aberration to get a rock drake, maybe that should be my next goal

[@moomop4708]

0:40 4 cuz beating up a reaper queen and getting impregnated is not part of the other three

[@adamsmith3394]

So there's a handy glitch and it's sensitive. On the vanilla ark x-box you can glitch it so you gain elevation. It's an agonizing climb rate. Very agonizing. But you can indefinitely stay in the air until you find any barrier

Behind the artifact is a shortcut back to the area with the old building in it, so you dont need to go through the caves again. But always bring a cryo orb if you can
