The first Dino I tame is always a moschops. They are great berry gatherers. They have amazing stats and they’re great at kickstarting base building. They also collect lots of meat, hide, silica, etc. within minutes of joining a new map, you can fight off many different predators for only a mejoberry.

[@BDAsahi]

you even can farm fiber with them

[@attybattyshark2782]

same thay are grat berry gatherers

[@PlanJ117]

If you didn't know! You can find cementing paste in beaver dams! I found so much in one on my last play through and never knew it was in them! Be careful tho! The beavers will attack you if they see you taking stuff from the dams!

[@larkham1206]

The fact you didn't edit out the interruptions to the taming of the Carbo is super useful for newbies, far too often you see perfectly cut & edited taming experiences, and ARK is just not like that at all :P

[@alsonollid]

Love this playthrough! Im just starting a dedi server solo, and your tip to look through engrams and not grab them all helped so much I was able to build a raft and place some platforms and my dinos on it! Love the Machop dinos early, and the turtles are great for carrying wood and stone!

[@cassy8834]

I know she's mentioning working on the weight of your animals. But could you jump back-and-forth for like one time? Do wait next time, do stand up next time. Do we next time Stanley or health? Could you bounce back-and-forth or when you actually pick one? You'd better stick with it for a while

[@MissVadams10]

You can craft something called a mindwipe tonic if you decide you want to respec your stats, by default you can only do this once every 24 hours

[@NinjaGardensGenetics]

great video! really like the narration and gameplay

[@rayenkortas4440]

Keep up the content ❤️

[@Moteridgerider]

Can I posit a name for a Lystrosaurus as ‘Minty?’ The inspiration comes from a now defunct name for a mouth-freshening product from the seventies called Listermint. Sounds pretty similar to me. Also, both dinosaurs and Listermint are now consigned to history.

[@MissVadams10]

Love it :D

[@magfie8965]

Such a good name

[@augustvukosovich4683]

I could not figure out how to tame a dinosaur. Thank you!

[@aidenaviation]

This series is probably the best tutorial that I’ve found

[@MissVadams10]

That is really awesome to hear, thank you for the kind words!

[@tedbourchert5986]

When I started I was never told about the extreme early game benefit of Bolas. I had to find that out on my own and it took way way longer than it should have. Keep them on me at all times now.

[@christopherm1451]

Petey the Parasaur will forever be my first tame. (Just found you on KZbin - awesome videos!)

[@BJTHEOG14]

Is it just me or every time I want to find a raptor I don’t find one, but when I don’t wanna find a raptor and I’m very low level, they come out of nowhere

[@MissVadams10]

I feel you on that one. This is what we call 'getting Arkd'.

[@Lfunk1983]

You have a beautiful speaking voice! Love me some Ark (looks great on Series x) great advice

[@KamleshMallick]

The best ARK KZbinr!

[@BDAsahi]

nice video i just started i am lvl 44 and just tamed an Allosaurus, trike, carboneyms, parasaurus, tek parasaurus and a pteradon. i had an equus too but... he got killed by the allosaurus i tried to tame... i atleast got it lol

[@ctida5095]

My lit bros mossy (moschops) was so high level that killed a baryonx

[@mutephoxart]

Lol dilo's are always my first carnivore tame. I think they're cute and like running around with a small army of 4 or 5. Until I get my first raptors.

[@kayana2145]

im so bad at naming stuff xD but Coach for the Lystro

[@sneakyninja0129]

I did the same dinos my carbonemys was 166 when tamed and the pteranodon 220 when tamed

[@dill589]

Thanks for this series! Figured I'd try Ark cause I wanted a relaxing solo game and your videos have helped tremendously!

[@shortbread224]

Blud really didn’t mention the fact you need a saddle for the pteranodon and how it’s LEVEL 38 acting like it’s a low level tame omd

[@fuggleradventures5820]

Lol early game is always a pain cause of dilo’s and raptors😂

[@dylansearcy3966]

Dilophosaurus don’t attack the turtles but raptors do

[@raughboy188]

When i started i would actualy put points into weight frist, then i started over on another map and distributed between movement speed and weight and it paid off big time. For trike i would suggest 4-6 trank arrows in butcheek to know it out, that's how i did it. They can't turn arond so fast so when they start charge get behind them and start shooting trank arrows.

[@MissVadams10]

Depending on the level of the Trike you will likely need more tranq arrows than that, but shooting it anywhere except the head will give more torpor and damage :)

[@raughboy188]

@@MissVadams10 hitting trike in buttcheek while it's charging gives you extra time and shots because as you know they're big and not so agile so even on high level they make great tames.

[@magfie8965]

Minty would be a good name

[@dylansearcy3966]

I love taming dilos

[@dylansearcy3966]

Carbonemys is pronounced like Artemis and the turtle in real life would’ve been a carnivore

[@photonkicks]

literally did this and there was one raptor there so I was like “oh hell yeah” and when I got it knocked out, she was level 135 and I like omfg so she was tamed up she was level 202, I named her Pumpkin since she literally had the colours of a pumpkin

[@JimmyJamers]

I built my base in the same spot haha

[@tommyiswild]

Ayeeee

[@tedbourchert5986]

Far too late for naming but I always like Lameo the Lystro

[@tedbourchert5986]

Oh another tip. Early game at least, keep Mejo berries in your last slot. Pegos will take them and on occasion immediately tame. Even if they don't it's not a serious loss. Though you may end up with far more Pego tames than anyone ever wants.

[@MissVadams10]

Never too many Pego Pets

[@tedbourchert5986]

I respectfully disagree, lol

[@lancelusco7448]

you have to keep them stacked if its all in 1 they just still them all

[@Chaotic_Gaming]

Fun fact: my first tame was a bronto with a slingshot

[@MissVadams10]

Oh my, how long did that take you?!

How to tame?

[@BJTHEOG14]

What level for the feeding trough?

[@MissVadams10]

You need to be level 18 to learn the engram and it will cost you 12 engram points :)

[@danceofthevoid6772]

instructions unclear i tamed a level 20 raptor that rushed me after punching it unconscious :P

[@MissVadams10]

Did it wake up? Depending on what your taming settings are you may need to feed it narcoberries or narcotics to keep it knocked out

[@danceofthevoid6772]

@@MissVadams10 I got it tamed it then died to piranhas after it was almost dead and in water just enough for a 40 something fish to eat its bum, I did kinda restart after that because I had my xp up too high and was leveling too fast to be fun so I added some small mods that my friend recommended and just reset I now have a nice wooden house on the beach with a 107 Petra that I can't make a saddle yet for and two dodos lol (FYI I'm a veteran in ark but I love your tutorials it's nice to see how other people play and I love to help people in the comments if I find an opportunity 😊)

Why do you lot say ky-tin. Its chi-tin lol hence the c word of it has no K in chitin. Or is it an American thing. Cheetin or chiitin. Pronunciation annoy me the most. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@MissVadams10]

I always used to say 'Chit-in' but I got worn down by my friends that I was pronouncing it wrong so I started saying 'Kye-tin' 😂

[@RealBradMiller]

It's definitely pronounced KAI like the C in Christmas, and not CHAI like in change, but you are free to say it however you want!
