Good job saving my life

[@djgaming765]

When you say back or select for Xbox in the video it's the touchpad on ps

[@MaubyIsA_GoofyTherian]

Thank you 🫡🙏

[@Kashmere34]

To not get carpal tunnel like me, when you're in your radio wheel, use the right trigger to select instead of A

[@mleii1169]

Yes this! I had no idea, and definitely should be part of this video as I thought it was A and that is TERRIBLE, luckily someone figured out that it was the trigger as well and that's MUCH better.

[@darkmatter-mc5iv]

Yeah once you figure that out it helps a lot. Especially when commanding Tames without Cryopods.

[@matt3890]

Really u guys didnt know that? I found that out myself in the first 5 minutes

[@Spoomples]

Thank u

[@Kr0n1kTh3Kl0wn]

Radial wheel. Not radio wheel. Not sure if it's just a speech to text thing or if it's Idiocracy but I feel compelled to fix it either way

2:24 YES! That's the camera thing I was talking about! Thank you so much for this!!

Cursor sensitivity just blew my mind. Thank you sir

[@Kaleb-sx9im]

5:06 brother was not having it lmao, great video!

[@liriodedragn9080]

Dude, thank you! Some of these were so hard to find anywhere. Side note, for me the chat is LB + Start(3 lines) button, and if you hold the back(2 squares) button and select chat mode, you can pick which chat you want to send a message in, ex. global, tribe, alliance and local. Cheers! :D

[@BossHawk_1]

Lol I call it the "Map" button. (The 2 squares button.) In fact, I now refer to this button as Map for every game j play bc of ark lol. On xbox controller u got ur start button (3 lines) & ur Map button (2 squares.) Lol. But now im curious are the ark controls different sometimes for xbox players? Bc for me I have to hold my "map" button (2 squares) to bring up the wheel for changing into 3rd person. But for some dam reason I can't select anything. In the last ark game I used the right thumb stick to select but now nothing happens. So I can't chose/toggle anything from it...

[@ItsGrxm]

@@BossHawk_1you gotta confirm it and you can press the right trigger for that

[@BossHawk_1]

@@ItsGrxm so u mean after holding the map (2 squares/back button) u confirm it with the right trigger?? Lol. I'm pretty sure I've tried that but I'm about to get on rn so I'll try it again...

[@WillhaleB52]

When looking throught the spyglass you can hit right trigger and bring up the tribe commands too.

These are really helpful, thank you

[@TheIdiotfilter]

Some really handy tips, guys.

[@luketaylor2842]

Thank you!

[@suedavidson7759]

LB and down arrow/Pad is " go here" useful for moving creatures around

[@kojinooni]

6:25 You talking about the aim assist on and off but missed how to adjust the strength of the pull. The option is on the same page under left hand side 3rd down. 9:18 Did you cover tribe waypoints on the map? Through the menu map you can cursor over and I think its X (on xbox) and it will show like 5 different icons.

[@ykthelabel3012]

man, i wish you nothing but greatness cause this video was such a big help

[@Afrozilla92]

Very good list, thx :) 1 question, how do you get that nice sky and light? my clouds are always so dark and rich of contrast. but also very shiny especially when he sun rises and sets, thewhole island gets, yellow red or blue.. any ideas?

[@freyr1994]

If u make a folder, put everything u dont want to leave youre inventory in the folder then u Can L1 alot easyer

So does it really get rid of the inputs I put in if I close out also what’s the default fps for play ps5 I always get 30to40 or if I zoom in my character it goes to 20

Awesome tips & tricks video!! Is there anyone who can help tell me which button to press on xbox controller while the wild horse is bucking during a tame? I cannot seem to figure it out or find it anywhere else on the web that covers ascended...

U just changed my ark life with that dino camera zoom outa and im on pc.

[@juanbrito-nina2877]

All good to know....

[@mleii1169]

Great video, thank you! Would love to see a video on how to use the map with Controller, both the one in inventory and the one outside of it from the main player view. I am finding it very difficult to figure out with a gamepad. :(

[@Electedsphinx40]

Holding the back button on xbox will bring up the regular map just like in ase, while double tapping the back button will bring up the interactive map( the back button is the one with 2 squares)

[@ksumm24]

All of this would be fantastic if the game would actually save when I tell it to. Every time I exit and come back in I'm right back to day 3.

[@superjay1345]

Is there any way to zoom out 3rd person mode on ps5

[@maximus19872]

is there a fast way to L1 a body bag? asking for faster pvp engagements

[@AzraelLazearas]

This would be great to know, even for pve, snagging your corpse bag when being chased naked and alone by raptors is no fun, other times it transfers my inventory to a corpse or tame when I want to take say, berries from a trike...

[@Laviathann0970]

I can't get the console commands to clear on my Non Dedicated. I tried force closing on xbox and also leaving the right way with no luck. Any tips?

[@howtodrawwithjacoby9675]

Hey, I was wondering if you can do a step by step tutorial for your graphics as I noticed you are on Xbox your fps and screen tear is extremely better compared to mine I was wondering if you know how to fix this or if anyone else does, I play on the series x

[@newgame8149]

Is there mts arena mode on console ?

[@yourin8er]

I want to know about whistle commands. Can you still whistle Dino’s to a point without opening command wheel.

[@marienoxx]

Yes, LB + Down on d-pad. If you point your crosshairs at a target it will move to attack whatever’s in that spot instead of just moving to that spot.

[@danieldavies1706]

How do you turn off the text on items I've turned it on and can't get it off, used to be right joystick pressed in on ase but has it changed on asa?? Please someone help its so annoying to see in menu's

[@dacubanmofo]

Is there anyway to create waypoints on the map like I’ve seen steam players do? When you pull up the map it doesn’t have those options on the bottom like Pc does

[@spencerlane8437]

Double tap X or A on the map location.

[@fibrosis3576]

Use the map you access from your inventory, not the pop up one

[@dacollins113]

How do you use the chat function on console?

[@LokiGodOfTime]

I know this was done a few months ago, but how do you hide your helmet? I’ve seen people say it’s in the emote section of the wheel, but every time I go over the emote thing, the wheel doesn’t change. Am I missing something?

[@bradmettler4566]

What is it?

[@LokiGodOfTime]

@@bradmettler4566 it’s still in the emote section, you just have it hit RT (I’m on Xbox) to get to the actual emote wheel to hide your hat

For thé aim assit u have an option for put it less stronger even if Ur aren't aiming

[@Jenkins_famlee]

We call it the select button if you’re raised in 90s or before. All older consoles had a select button, and I believe xbox was the first to change it’s name! Love xbox, but how dare they mess with nostalgia.

[@noamangel]

On xbox how do you assign an item to hot bar? Find it kind of tricky tapping hot bar location then double tapping A on item. Just want to see if there quicker way

[@Jay-jz5uy]

Drag the item

[@SamDurbz]

Hey, I was wondering if maybe you can help me with an issue i am having. I have ark ascended and for some reason i can not give my dinos any commands, Like mate or wander or change their name. I can use whistle commands but i can not access the dinos options box. Is there something i am supposed to turn on in the settings?

[@Atmywitzend]

I was looking for the same tip! I cant figure it out or find anything on google. For whatever reason I cant access anything on the dino wheel outside of inventory

[@Atmywitzend]

Ok I figured it out, uae RT on the wheel option and you will be able to access that menu (i.e dino behaviour). I think its a bug.

[@SamDurbz]

@@Atmywitzend hey, wow thanks so much i will give it a go whan i go on leter :D will let you know if it works

[@rufinosanchez4293]

Nvm just figured this out this morning answer is yes, yes you can, however I only left the server not the whole app and it didn’t take away the commands so I think you have to actually close the app then re open it not just the server (ps5)

Is there a way to upgrade your thatch structure to wood without destroying thatch and starting over?

@@matthewjohnson6167 I think there is a bug where it shows things where you died rather than where your body or bag actually is. Theris often seem to whack your body far away from where it killed you which makes finding them extremely difficult. Wish there was an option to turn on death beams as well as these markers. There are mods though.
