ARK: Valguero - How to build a Castle - Gothic Castle Base Design (Speed Build)

In this How to build a Castle speed build, I will show you how to build a Gothic-inspired Castle. It does look like a Cathedral but for KZbin search engine reasons it's a Castle :)
I am on Valguero above the waterfall where the entrance to the underground sea is.
just above the waterfall is a small lake surrounded by cliffs.
I thought it would be a great place for a castle and have the waterfall running under it.
In this tutorial, there are a lot of Ark building ideas and building tips that can be used on your own building designs.
This base was built with clip active, no mods so it can be built on Ark Xbox One, PS4 and PC on unofficial maps.
Ark Survival Evolved has amazing building mechanics, there are endless ways to design and build your base.
Hope you enjoy the build :)

2.5k views in 24 hours :) that's the best any of my videos have ever done, really glad you are all liking this build. This voice over is a little low and not too clear, I am still trying to get the recording right had to find a quiet room and record the voice-over onto a laptop, my PC doesn't like the heat fans are working overtime :)

can we get a strictures list

[@aGRUMPYCAT]

other gamers: what are the most used keys on your keyboard? "well propably E or WASD maybe F?" The Pilgrimz Project: "Q mostly Q, yes." awesome projekt - had to waste some time at work and found it very entertaining, to see you going through all the struggles, vanilla strucktures throw at you. Really appreciate your enthusiasm and creativity AND perfectionism.

[@captainfatdog]

That's insane man, so much detail, and you are really good at knowing what materials and paint to use.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Hey fatdog, thanks man I didn't worry too much about how practical the base was going to be :)

[@petek9777]

I don't even play this game, I play valheim, and just listen to the music in the background. Good shit though, I glance over and am very impressed!

Wow! Thanks for the tour in the beginning. Just amazing!

[@machinegaming6808]

This is amazing. I think i will give this an attempt this week. Trying to get better at building and ive already learned alot from your builds.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Cool :) Clip is active so some parts of the build wouldn't work on official settings but most of it would

[@justinrhenderson1234]

Just wanted to say I’m currently building this on a friends server but I’m building it in the whitecliffs I’m 52 minutes in and doing it without creative and without tek. The hardest project I’ve done but if it even comes out close I’ll be happy keep up the amazing work and thank you for this wonderful design

[@Walexander3243]

Did your version of this ever get finished? I'm debating starting one myself aha

[@ViciousVioletteLV]

What an AMAZING build! Thank you for taking the time to decorate the interior. You got a new sub because of that. I've seen great builds out there but they lose me when I see the interior is just an empty shell.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Thanks and welcome to the channel 😁 I have see a lot of builds left empty. I like setting the interiors up because I think about crafting areas and access when I build and set thing's up how I would like it

[@takodaalldredge8391]

Me and my SO saw this and got inspired. We love gothic architecture and are going to try something similar on aberration by the portal/old mine entrance. Not sure how well it will go, but here is to hoping! :)

[@alec7568]

Holy shit this has got te be the best base design I've ever seen aesthetically, did you have to raise the structure limit for this? Looks like a lot more than 6000 pieces

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Hey, Thanks Alec :) I did up the limit a while ago for another build so you are probably right, I didn't think about it. Sometimes you can get around the limit by building long and tall this might be spread out enough not to hit the limit in one spot. I will put the limit right later and see if I can build anywhere :)

[@glydyr007]

Your base builds are insane mate, amazingly talented.

[@EvilNecroid]

[@GortonaGaming]

Hey Pilgrim. This is one of the best builds in Ark I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot haha). I absolutely love it! This is so beautiful!

[@thecakeredux]

Wow. It looks like the terrain was specifically designed around this castle, not the other way around. Great work.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

lol ty, It does fit just right. I was looking around the Helms Deep ruins but there are a lot of areas you can not build on, so I saw this waterfall with the high cliffs around it and originally I was going to build a castle :)

[@Sitharias]

Great work mate! As always the color scheme blows me away, really good work on that! It's a good looking build for sure

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

hey Sitharias :) glad you like it man, I was happy with the paint especially the bronze looking metal work the whole thing came together really well. One of my best I think with out mods

[@E_M_C_2]

Another dope creation my friend! My tribe mates and I use that cave as our base on an official server. Ive always felt that waterfall needs a dope castle or something on top. This is perfect!

Can't wait for your next upload now 😃 ive just subscribed so I may never miss a video ever, I'm hooked!

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

wow Thanks a lot Athena :) Really glad you like it. The windows worked out well, I thought I might have to put ceilings between them then remembered you could snap fence foundations to catwalks and it worked. I wanted the rooms to be really tall and open. It was built with Clip active btw, so some things like the catwalks would have to be placed before you built the walls above them. It should all still work just have to build it from the ground up, I had clip active to run the structure into the surrounding rock.

Any rough estimate of the structure count? I wonder if it could be done on official...

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

No I didn't count up as I was building sorry. I did have clip active but everything else was vanilla I think the tower would have to be built differently as a lot of the structures run through each other. The main body of the Cathedral and the glass dome section should be doable though

The problem I have with these ambitious builds is after I am done I feel like I have beaten the game, and there is no reason to actually use the base. I get bored quick and quit

I play on single player or my unofficial server, you can change the ini settings and up the build limit. The build limits are set low so you don't run into lag and fps drops but you can up the limit and be fine especially on pc if you have a good one.
